As Tolgee grows, we need to find an excellent full-stack engineer with a focus on the back-end!
About Tolgee
At Tolgee, we're revolutionizing how companies localize their software. Our mission? To help development teams translate their projects into multiple languages faster and more efficiently than ever before. As Tolgee is developer-oriented product, we’re passionate about making developer’s lives easier.
Tolgee started as an open-source project in 2020, a university thesis that earned a Dean's Award. Since then, we've been growing Tolgee and attracting users worldwide. We've also joined the Technology Incubation program where we developed our own AI machine translator. Recently, we’ve secured our seed investment enabling us to grow our team.
Tolgee is open-source, but in the same time, we focus on sustainable business growth. Our revenue grows by 8% each month, and we aim for 12% in the next 18 months. Inspired by companies like PostHog, GitLab, and Sentry, we want to become the top choice for developers in localization (i18n).
What we value
- We are open-source, building a vast community, and making a free, self-hosted product, which is crucial to our philosophy.
- We are transparent. Really. We build our product publicly, sharing our plans as individual tasks on GitHub in public repositories. Everyone can read our code, and everyone can improve it.
- We give people as much freedom as possible while keeping them responsible for the results. We value autonomous people who have ideas and are willing to implement them themselves or find the resources to get things done.
- We ship fast, but at the same time, we provide stable and tested products.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for someone who would continue improving the Tolgee Platform's backend while mostly implementing new exciting features. However, we are also looking for someone not scared to touch the front end or work with new technologies. And remember! We are a developer-oriented tool, so we must provide excellent documentation and inspire other developers.
What you'll be doing
- Implementing a backend (and possibly frontend) of brand-new features like Glossaries, Translation Memory management or Community Translations
- Experimenting with LLMs and possibilities to integrate them into Tolgee
- Making the product stable and clean by refactoring and proper testing
- Writing the docs for the REST API endpoints and new features
- Coming up with fresh ideas for features or ways how Tolgee can succeed in being the next leader in the scope
- Show the Tolgee's cool features on demo sessions from a technical perspective.
- Being inspiring to other developers and the community by writing impressive articles when something interesting comes up
Requirements
- Experience as a full-stack engineer with a focus on the backend
- Ability to think about edge cases and errors and be able to test them reliably
- Love to write clean and readable code

Nice to have
- Experience with Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot

Salary

Benefits
