PROCESO PAUSADO

Introduction

In September we did our first job posting in English for a very special company to us, Comalatech. A couple of weeks ago, we posted an awesome new opportunity with them. Why is it so special? Because David and Gorka worked together there 🤟🏻, and still they love it. Comalatech is an international company with the team members spread around the world: Business, marketing and support members are based in Canada, the CTO is in Australia, and the product and development team is in Spain.

Do you know tools like Jira, Trello, Bitbucket or Confluence? guess you do :) All belong to Atlassian, and Comalatech is one of the Top Sellers in the Atlassian Marketplace, with 12 apps for Confluence and Jira. Comalatech has some top-notch apps like Comala Workflows to support reviews and approvals to Confluence pages or Canvas for Jira to visually organize projects.

If you are interested in growing and excel in knowledge of the Atlassian ecosystem, you are passionate about coding, take pride in building secure and stable services… well, this is your chance! we’ll go with your through the whole process to make sure you SHINE and success :)

What you’ll do

They are looking for a Senior Software Developer to help them build new Atlassian cloud apps 🌥️, and keep on growing the team that look after these apps. This new buddy will work from their cool office in Bilbao. Cloud deployment is an increasing part of their business, so it is the team that looks after these apps.

The cloud team is in charge of the apps for Atlassian’s SaaS products, an ideal position for someone who enjoys both back-end and front-end work with Javascript. And since Comalatech is still a small (although growing) team, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in different stages of the development cycle. Thus, your duties will encompass building web applications, but also being involved in the operations side. In addition to that, you'll have to help developers that still need guiding and TLC 💌

Do you know what “developer on support” is? It's an interesting process in which everyone is involved: In each sprint, a developer puts on the support hat to understand customers’ pains.

All in all, if you are a passionate developer, focused on quality, then, this is THE opportunity for you.

After 1 month...

You’ll already know all your new colleagues, who does what within Comalatech, and who can help you out when you feel lost. You’ll start gathering favourite places to have pintxos, although you still won’t know all the good ones.

You’ll have already fixed some bugs, so your code will be running in thousands of customers. Probably, you won’t be able to explain to your grandma YET what every app does, but don’t worry, still your first month.

After 3 months...

You’ll have contributed to new features, reviewed your colleagues pull requests and helped support with difficult tickets. As well as suggested to the newcomers which one is DA pintxo bar.

After 6 months...

Ok, you are not the rookie anymore, in fact, you’ve reviewed new candidates, because the team keeps on growing. You’ll be helping new team members to understand the full development cycle of the apps. You’ll have attended a Hackathon and nice lunch with your Canadian and Aussie colleagues.

How you’ll do it

In Comalatech they apply a pragmatic approach to Scrum. Two weeks sprints in a continuous deployment process with everything integrated and automated: From Jira, Confluence, Bamboo or Bitbucket to Slack, when you push your code, the wheel starts to spin. However, there are deadlines like events or conferences, and the scope is adjusted, depending on what the teams deliver at the end of each iteration.

Who you’ll do it with

• Naiara Martín (Frontend Developer & UX Designer) - Over 15 years experience building web applications, she is a key member of the UI/UX team.
• Juan Alvarez (Software Architect) - over 5 years of experience building Atlassian apps, and many more architecting software systems he is currently leading the development of Comalatech’s cloud applications.
• Patricia Yagüe (Team Leader) - a Java development veteran, she leads the development of Comalatech’s server application development.
• Shannon Krebs (CTO) - With more than 10 years of experience working in the Atlassian ecosystem he runs the Comalatech development and support teams from his home base in Australia.

When you’ll do it

In Comalatech they enjoy a flexible schedule, you only need to worry about staying ready for the daily standup of your team. And during the Summer months, you’ll enjoy the Summer time, so you can spend your afternoons in the swimming pool or with your family :)

Where you’ll do it

Comalatech Bilbao office is located in the Gran Via, right in the city center, close to bars, shops, gyms… In the office you’ll find fresh fruit, coffee, teas, milk, (and sometimes wine…). Anything you need for having breakfast or a snack during the morning. BUT you probably won't get to know that office, because they are moving to a new office, in the very same building and floor, but BETTER AND BIGGER, I heard that there's even a gaming area 🎮

And every Tuesday the team that does not live in Bilbao (colleagues from Pamplona, Cantabria, Donostia and Vitoria-Gasteiz) gather to see each other, discuss important matters and have a pintxo (or a cake).

What they ask for

In Comalatech they are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, somebody with experience building web applications that scale to thousands of customers, can wrangle a webpack build, know how to get a feature through testing/documentation/deployment to customers:

• Solid written and verbal English skills, after, you’ll have to use everyday in the office :)
• Experience with either Javascript frameworks like React/Redux and Node (>4 years experience in Javascript)

Ideally (love-to-have 😻):

• A good eye for usability, can build a UI using javascript without being a designer
• Knowledge of Confluence and Jira
• Experience building Atlassian apps
• Knowledge of Cloud platforms such as Heroku or AWS
• A second or third spoken language

What they offer

• €40K-50.000€ gross salary depending on your experience and skills
• Work with an international team and global customers from Bilbao
• Work in a company with profitable products, always building new features and looking for ways to improve, learn and apply new technologies and techniques
• Paid assistance to developer events, conferences, and training
