  • exercise

    [REMOTE] FULLSTACK (BUT MOSTLY BACKEND) DEVELOPPER ; TYPESCRIPT / NEXTJS / MONGODB

    We are building a bank application with current & saving accounts, money management, wire transfers, and card management. We are launching on the French market this spring and the next step is to go to Europe for 2022. The draft is here : [https://green-got.com/](https://green-got.com/).

    The endgame is to offer a solution that will reduce the carbon footprint of our clients by redirecting their money from carbon-heavy positions to eco-friendly ones AND to provide a better banking experience.

    The general stack is a NextJS API and static front end with React native applications. We have developpers working on the static front, the applications and some parts of the backend. Half of the NextJS backend is a proxy to our providers for banking and money management services. We need you to work on that half! With time, you will be able to switch to other parts of the stack.

    You have worked for at least a couple of years with TypeScript on the backend. You know how to write clean and well tested code. You want to make all your code dead simple to read. Experience with the banking or payment industry is a plus. You don't need to be a degrowther vegan but you must have a certain sensitivity to climate issues.

    You can work from wherever you want, whenever you want, as long as you deliver. We intend to build a long-term relationship with our employees. So, the best candidate would be a french national that we can hire under french law for long term contracts. But we are open to international candidates on a C2C invoicing relationship. Being not too far from Paris time is a plus.

    The budget for this position is 4500€ per month, 54000€ per year (this is $65k in USD). The end net salary will depend on the taxes in the country you live in. It may be half this amount.
