🧠 What you’ll do
-
Collaborate closely with different teams (Operations, Marketing, Tech, Customer Support…) to deeply understand their workflows, identify friction points, and turn real needs into technical solutions.
-
Design, prototype, and build internal tools or MVPs that optimize processes or enhance customer experience from internal dashboards to smart process automations.
-
Build & Automate: Use your development skills to build services, automate tasks, integrate with internal/external APIs, and work with SQL.
-
Identify opportunities, pitch and test ideas fast, and evolve solutions based on real user feedback (internal or external).
-
Work in a hybrid, flexible environment where autonomy is encouraged, experimentation is constant, and learning is part of the everyday workflow.
-
Grow by doing: You’ll learn quickly, supported by a team that shares knowledge, helps you thrive, and celebrates your progress.
🎯 What you’ll need to thrive
-
You have a foundation in backend or fullstack development. You don't need to know every technology on this list; we are looking for someone who has worked with at least one of these (and is excited to learn more!):
-
Backend: Python, JavaScript (Node.js), or Ruby.
-
Frontend: Modern frameworks like React, Next.JS, Vue, or Angular.
Whether you’ve built your skills through personal projects, bootcamps, internships, or your first job experience (it all counts!).
-
- A technical background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field. Whether you're wrapping up your studies or have just graduated, this is a great place to start.
- A genuine passion for solving real-world problems whether they’re internal inefficiencies or user experience challenges, with quick, effective tech solutions.
- Curiosity and initiative: you don’t wait to be told what to build, you explore, ask questions, and identify opportunities on your own.
- Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced environments, priorities change fast here, and we need people who can adapt and thrive in motion.
- A willingness to fail fast, learn quickly, and improve constantly. You’re not afraid to experiment and iterate.
- Basic knowledge of web technologies, APIs, and databases (SQL), and how modern systems fit together.
- Fluent Spanish and fluent English, we work with international teams and many of our tools, documentation, and meetings are in English.
