Founded in 2018 by seasoned legal, finance and procurement professionals, Alacrity is on a mission to create technologies which enhance the relationship between corporates and law firms to improve service delivery, reduce costs and manage relationships more efficiently.

If you get excited about disrupting an industry which hasn’t seen innovation since the advent of email, we want to talk to you. Fun fact, 65% of our users are still on Internet Explorer but lucky for you, this is a backend role.

This is a remote-first opportunity for people residing within European timezones.

Requirements

Alacrity is looking for a mid-level or senior, self-motivated engineer to join our team of 3 engineers. Although you will be surrounded by great engineers, you must be able to work independently and take initiative. We’re looking for strong architectural and service-design skills as well as full appreciation of code quality standards.

Things you will get to do

• Further develop our Nodejs API.
• Create and collaborate on technical specifications for new product features.
• Review product security (security is taken very seriously here).
• Improve our AWS infrastructure.
• Constantly learn from other engineers (we take pride in thorough code reviews).

Your Ideal Skill Set

• Deep knowledge of Javascript and Nodejs.
• GraphQL experience (we use Apollo).
• SQL (we use Postgres).
• Experience with devops (AWS, Docker and Terraform).

Benefits

Work Environment

• Open and transparent workplace.
