Job Description

At Bayer we’re visionaries, driven to solve the world’s toughest challenges and striving for a world where 'Health for all Hunger for none’ is no longer a dream, but a real possibility. We’re doing it with energy, curiosity and sheer dedication, always learning from unique perspectives of those around us, expanding our thinking, growing our capabilities and redefining ‘impossible’. There are so many reasons to join us. If you’re hungry to build a varied and meaningful career in a community of brilliant and diverse minds to make a real difference, there’s only one choice.

Sr. Backend JS Developer

As a Senior Back-End JavaScript Developer, you will be an integral part of our development team. You will be instrumental in the architecture and design of the entire platform, built from the ground up to be flexible, modular, and reusable. You will be building and maintaining this solution using TypeScript in a NodeJS environment, adhering to clean code standards and comprehensive documentation practices. Building this from the start will allow you to decide what new technologies to use while still adhering to ambitious delivery timelines. You will be part of a multidimensional development team, working closely with other back-end developers as well as front-end developers (both web and mobile).

You will work closely with the CTO to design the solution and establish timelines, along with the Engineering Manager and the Software Architect to bring your ideas to life. You will also work with the Senior Product Manager to discuss technical solutions to new user features and develop the ones that end up being pursued.

We believe good developers need clear requirements, but also focused time and space to do their best work. Accordingly, you vocalize when you need to clarify uncertain requirements, you help find solutions to translate our designers' specifications into working features, and determine what work setting works best for you to get the job done.

We work in an Agile environment, and that means you are part of a culture that is flexible and adaptive to requirements. To support our objectives, we run Agile ceremonies, plan and scope our work as a group, and believe in a continuous deployment philosophy. Our work is about creating value for our end-users and you are a key part of bringing that experience to life via seamless integrations happening in the background.
