Full Stack Developer

We're looking for a full-stack developer to help us build, improve and run Smartplan.

We believe in finding simple solutions to benefit our customers in their working lives. We believe that saying no and descoping can be better than more developing hours. We always look for solutions that are easy to add, maintain and develop.

We don't do custom development for our customers. We only work on our own product. You will too. This also means no time-tracking, no deadlines and no late nights.

If you are into making a difference with code and you thrive on finding solutions together with a small team? This job is for you.

About Smartplan

Smartplan is 9 years old (wow, time moves fast). We're a SaaS company. Smartplan is a user-friendly, low-priced workforce management tool. It helps small to medium size businesses with staff scheduling, time attendance, salary, communication with employees, time off and absence etc. We have been profitable from the beginning. We have no investors to answer to. We decide what we want to work on and how we want to work.

We're a small team, just the way we like it:

• 3 full time co-founders. (1 dev, 1 designer, 1 marketing)
• 2 full time customer success / marketing
• 2 students customer support
• 1 part-time mobile app developer
• 1 full time full stack developer.

We have an office in Aarhus, Denmark where we sometimes meet, but most of us work remotely (using Basecamp and Slack). Most of our communication is async written communication and we keep meetings to a minimum. We believe this is the best way to work and have a calm but productive work environment without too many distractions and interruptions.

What you will be working on

At Smartplan we believe the Customer Experience is the most important growth factor for our business. Everything we do is about improving that.

What we work on always aligns with the struggle and the job customers hire our product to do for them. Making this easier, better, faster, efficient and painless is what we care most about.

We need your help doing this.

With your experience in python/Django and Web development, you will work with our designer and other developers to implement new features and improve on old ones.

What we expect from you

• You have experience building web apps. Our product is built in python/Django with a "fat" backend and a "thin" front end. We rely a lot on Django templates for our front-end which is mostly HTML and Javascript using Stimulus and jQuery. We prefer it this way. It should be a joy to work with our code and keeping the front-end as JS light as possible emphasises this. It's a plus if you have strong python/Django experience.
• You can write and express yourself. Most of our communication is written and async. So you should be comfortable expressing yourself in clear and long form writing. We also use video meetings to do quick 1-1's if things need to be hashed out or discussed in closer collaboration.
• You are pragmatic and self-driven. You like to approach things in a pragmatic way. Finding simple solutions, with the customer experience in mind. You are comfortable proposing solutions and being proactive.
• You are located in CET (+/- 2 hours)

What we offer

• 37 hours work week. No overtime work is expected. We respect that you have more in life than work.
• 5 weeks of PTO per year. Everyone needs a break and time off to be happy and productive.
• Remote culture. We have an office in Aarhus you can use, but we work from wherever we want. We have people in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Berlin, Ukraine and Hungary.
