The Job

We’re looking for a back-end developer who can take ownership over the entire back end of HeroHunt.ai and who further develops the back-end.

The HeroHunt.ai product uses a versatile back-end with several frameworks and APIs.

Our values

HeroHunt.ai is a company of free thinkers who love to learn. As a team we prioritize iterative learning and experimentation because we believe in the long term this leads to better product and a better business.

We take ownership over our deliverables by default. This makes us independent and responsible professionals who grow consistently personally and professionally, while having the freedom for our creativity, eagerness to build and overall joy in our work.

We all feel responsible that everyone involved finds joy in their work.

Our team

We are a growing team, currently still small with the two co-founders of the company and some flexible partners and support staff.

The founders you’ll work with on a day-to–day basis:

Lucian Simo (Co-founder, CTO and hiring manager for this position)

Yuma Heymans (Co-founder & CEO)

How we work (remote)

We are a remote-first team. We work both synchronously (overlapping work times) as async (no overlapping work times). Generally speaking, most of the time is synchronous so you can communicate real-time.

We don’t cut on software costs which means you will have all the tools available that you need to do your work (Slack, automation software, other subscriptions).

We work with sprints of two weeks in which we finish our tickets (deliverables). Tickets are set every beginning of the sprint and estimated. We keep each other in check to whether we challenge ourselves hard enough and at the same time be realistic. 

We learn a bit more everyday on how to balance the right level of challenge and what’s realistic. That way we improve quickly as a team and as professionals.
