TalkJS | Eindhoven, the Netherlands | ONSITE

We're building a fantastic messaging experience for marketplace sites. Our product is targeted at developers and built on the newest web tech (such as React, ES6, Elixir). Our tech challenges include great API design for our customer's developers, a scalable real-time messaging backend, fantastic design and UX, and most of all writing great code fast with a tiny team.

We're looking for experienced programmers in the Eindhoven region (office at a 5 minute walk from the train station). Unlike many startups we're not ageist and we have sane European working hours. We're a small team and you'll have significant impact on all aspects of the product.

We're particularly interested in experienced people who're on the verge of being promoted into some middle management / "architect" role, but prefer to actually build great software with great programmers and move 4x faster, sustainably, than the average dev team. All that said, if that's not you but you'd like to get there fast, get in touch as well.

Contact info is on our website: https://talkjs.com
