Hi! Nice to meet you!
Vertrical is an international, Germany based software development and consulting company for cloud platform solutions mainly in the digital health sector.
We are a community of like-minded people who have effective relationships with satisfied and loyal clients. We are a young yet solid start-up company which is constantly growing. (That’s why we need you )
If the word start-up alarms youdon’t be scared! We strive for a healthy work life balance which we reflect in our benefits. ️
As a diverse company, we are aiming to create a highly empathetic environment and diversity in gender, sexual orientation, culture, religion, race, ethnics, and any other groups.
Working with multiple time zones, we are able to learn a lot from each other, which we enjoy in our everyday working life. With our company values and people representing diversity, we make sure everybody is heard.
Your Role
As an experienced JavaScript Developer you will be leading one of our Engineering teams and working together with our Business Analysts. Regarding the work, it’s 100% remote and our teams are sized in a way they are flexible enough to work at comforting and happy pace.
But what does leading a team mean for us?
We are big fans of new leadership, which is based on trust and appreciation between manager and employee. A good leader should take responsibility for the personal and professional development of their team members, ensuring that they are in a positive, learning environment which helps to get the best out of them.
As a lead you should be the first person that a team member can turn to when they require help, may it be for technical or personal reasons.
We would definitely expect you to organize your team which also includes innovate with your own processes and sharing your ideas with the wider company.
Communication is an important topic for us. Not only the way of communicating with each other but a lead should also be the pivot of communication between their team and the rest of the business. You should be able to handle minor issues by yourselves and escalate bigger issues where necessary. This also means: Be available for the client regarding any questions and concerns. Our Business Analysts will rely heavily on your technical insights. Assume the role of an ‘Engineering Representative’.
And yes, it can’t be done without… Meetings. You should aim to be involved in any planning, refinement, and evaluation sessions for their projects, and convey useful information to any developers who were unable to attend. In some instances, you may need to take the initiative to organize and schedule meetings for the benefit of your team, in other instances, you may need to simply attend meetings organized by others.
What about code?
Yes.
Of course you will be involved in the development work and attempt to complete tickets to try and remain in touch with the codebase.
About you
