Senior FullStack Engineer

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.

As a software engineer at Mentimeter, you will be an integral part of one of our cross-functional product teams, implementing designs and user experiences that will affect millions of people worldwide. You will do this with other engineers, a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and an Engineering Manager. Even though there are some specific roles in the team, we do things and solve problems together. We want you to be someone who engages with the rest of the team in product and design decisions and doesn’t shy away from discussions. This role is for someone who wants to do more than just write code 8 hours daily.

We are recruiting for three teams: 

• One Product team in the Commercial Area, dedicated to creating intuitive, scalable identity management solutions, helping enterprises adopt our offerings with minimal support. Our collaborative environment encourages working together across diverse skill sets, providing exposure to both front-end and back-end technologies. We welcome engineers who are eager to learn, share knowledge, and draw on experience in security, AWS, or testing to enhance customer outcomes.
• One Product team, in the Core area, with a mission to build a great presentation experience for presenters and voters alike. They own and evolve all things that happen during the live moment, with features ranging from navigation, Q&A, Quiz and the whole voter experience, while also putting a lot of effort into quality, stability and performance of the live experience. The team is a cross functional team that values close collaboration and  improvements to how we work and the things we build - and of course having fun together.
• One Product team, in the Commercial area, that focuses on enabling both self-service and enterprise payments. This team works cross functionally at the intersection of engineering and business. Whether building our self-service checkout, working alongside sales to ensure our larger customers have a smooth payment journey or building rock-solid reporting systems for finance - this team works collaboratively to move meaningful metrics for the organization.

 

What you’ll do

As a senior software engineer, delivering value to our customers and users is essential. But an equally important task is to scale and help your juniors. To succeed in this role, you must enjoy mentoring others and getting motivated by seeing them grow not only as developers, but as engineers driving the product forward. To be successful, you should enjoy the entire product development chain of breaking down designs into feasible work, writing and testing the code, and ensuring it efficiently gets to production. This means that a reasonable amount of context-switching will be expected from you during our sprints.

Who you are

For this role, we believe at least 8 years of related work experience as a software engineer, and through your experience, you have gained a good understanding of product development. You most likely also have a master’s degree in a relevant engineering field.

You are a reliable, high-performing individual contributor with a solid understanding of your area of specialization. You always have a good idea of what you want to do and then just do it. You embrace change and short feedback loops.

In addition to being a good cultural fit (see our values below), we hope you bring a passion for software development, scalable architecture, and building great products. For us, it is important that everyone cares about code quality, so an interest in testing and automation is needed. Excellent communication skills and working independently and in a team are other traits we are looking for in all our colleagues. As the team is mob programming previous experience of this is valuable and you enjoy working in this way! 

Last but not least, you must have a curious mindset, be open to learning & sharing knowledge, and be interested in working with our tech stack.

The tech stack at Mentimeter consists of a frontend written in React (Next.js and Typescript), and a backend written in Ruby (not Rails). Supported by some of the following technologies:

• Tailwind CSS
  
  
• Node.js
  
  
• Redis
  
  
• PostgreSQL
  
  
• Cloudflare
  
  
• AWS
  
  

We require someone who knows React well but not necessarily Ruby for this role. If you know Ruby, that’s great, but knowing another backend language well and being willing to learn Ruby is equally fine. It’s more important to us that you have the right attitude than the exact right skill set.
