About Fernstack & Co.:

The role:

We're looking for an Engineering Director to join our team. This is a remote role. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our team is spread across 12 countries. Headquarters is in Copenhagen. This is a full-time remote role.

Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review

Who you are:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Compensation and benefits:

• Public holidays observed per your country
• Annual salary review
• 20 days paid time off
