About the position 

You'll join a team working on a Swiss online real estate platform dedicated to simplifying apartment rentals. The platform's core function is to digitally connect tenants with landlords and property managers, streamlining the entire process from initial listings and managing viewing appointments all the way through to the submission of digital applications. Your work will contribute to making the rental process more efficient for all parties involved.

• You will design, implement, test and deliver new features that bring value to our users.
• You will encourage knowledge sharing and drive technical discussions within the team.

• You will challenge the status quo and continuously aim to improve the architecture, code, and tools to ensure the delivery of high-quality software.

Our tech stack

• Our frontend services utilize a variety of technologies, including Vue.js and React, with Typescript as the language of choice. These services consist of a mix of client-side, server-side, pre-rendered, and hybrid web apps. Additionally, some services leverage Django templates for the frontend, often mixed with React written in Typescript.
• Our backend architecture utilizes a combination of technologies. We have services built with Node.js and Typescript, following a serverless and microservices pattern in AWS, leveraging services like Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and S3. Additionally, we have services built with Python and the Django Framework, running as a modularized monolithic architecture in Docker containers on on-premise servers.
• Our monitoring is done mainly through Datadog and Sentry.
• Our codebase and services are documented using Backstage.
