Trainee Software Engineer in Linares

Why work with Posimatiq

Social Impact is the Product

Our company statutes state that the company can only work on products and services that can provide a meaningful social impact. It does not mean that we work on free apps for charity causes - we work on products and services that can bring something useful into the lives of ordinary people, something for which they can say "Thank you, this makes my life better". Your work will be a part of that.

Innovation is just a word, build novel products instead

You will work directly on products and services that have not existed before. Besides trade secrets and registered industrial designs, we have several patent applications pending (EPO and PCT), which means that, yes, we work on something that no one has invented before.

(Re-)Investing in the prosperous future of the employees

A family cannot lay off its own family members, but a typical company on a capitalist market absolutely can. So if some company says "We are family", that's a red flag.

We do not try to pretend that working in a company is the same as being a part of a family. While doing our best to be honest about the nature of the relationship between an employer and employees, we have a clearly documented goal: the company's profits shall be reinvested to keep the team working while being paid well.

Job Description

Tasks

As a part of our team you will help us deliver applications and systems that bring value and positive impact into users' lives. You will work on projects that span platforms (iOS, Android, and web) and combine very different disciplines and domain knowledge (fault-tolerant and real-time systems, public transportation, project management through asynchronous communications, and spatial and location-aware databases). You will work on existing products like Tomatiq ↗, as well as on new products.

Remote

This position is fully remote, but you need to live in Spain to be hired.

Additionally, if you would like to join us for a coding session or prefer to stay among other people when working, we would be glad to accommodate you at our premises in Bilbao or in Stockholm.

Please check out our Remote Hiring Policy if you would like to know more.
