Junior backend Developer

We are looking for a person under 30 for a full-time apprenticeship contract, with a view to an ongoing, long-term collaboration.

What you will do

As a Junior Backend Developer at Synextya, you will work integrating with existing multi-disciplinary teams, helping to add functionality to ongoing projects already on the market and/or structuring new projects.

How you will work

We encourage you to use solutions that offer performance and security, while at the same time evaluating new and alternative ways, always taking project requirements into account. Our focus is always on improving and trying out new technologies. We never stop at current skills, and we focus on professional growth.

We do not use frameworks for 'party taken' but we always reason on the best technical solution to adopt in relation to the needs of the project.

Where you will work

We have a fantastic location in Bologna, in via Fioravanti 27, with a workstation available. Working by objectives, presence is not always required: we are used to smart working and/or remote working. If you prefer an office workstation, we will be happy to set it up for you!

Who you will work with

You will collaborate with other developers and management figures, and have senior resources to refer to.
