Hi there! You know you’re a great developer. But do you have any idea how powerful you are with your programming skills and that you can use them to literally make this world a better place? 

In ACT, we have developed a scalable mobile marketplace for sustainable grocery shopping, which will empower consumers to start shopping sustainably almost overnight with the ACT app, changing the direction of their combined purchasing power towards producers who respect the environment and treat their workers well.

If your eyes widened and lit up a bit, read on!

  • Further develop a scalable backend architecture in compliance with best development practices including any kind of refactoring, code base strategy forward, etc.

  • Optimize deployment pipeline through CI, CD

  • Implement new great features 

  • Help launch the next major releases of the ACT shopping list app that will make ACT scale globally

  • Next prepare launch to a larger market in Europe

  • Work closely with the frontend to ensure interoperability, high availability and quality of the complete solution

What skills do I need to accomplish this?

  • Scrum-based development

Plus with experience in:

  • DevOps, Linux commands/batch scripting

Why is working with ACT so awesome?

For countless reasons, but let’s just name three of them: 

  • Joining our team at the beginning of a fascinating journey means you’d simply have a say in what we do and how we do it and take ownership.

  • At the same time, you will get constant support, working hand in hand with our diverse and competent team. 

  • And above all, you’d play a crucial role in the emergence of (possibly) the only tool that can realistically impact the future of the food production industry and thus mitigate global warming and change the lives of millions for the better. 

Why am I your ideal tech lead? 

  • Good collaboration skills in an international team

  • Disciplined and self-driven (it’s not easy to come back from work and work again!), honest and generally good-hearted as hell (...)

  • A team player building effective and fun relations with other people of diverse backgrounds, even when they’re on the other side of the Earth (or screen)

  • Enjoying remote work and flexibility of time and location

  • Fluent in English

  • We offer shares in addition to salary
