Talent Domain 👾

Our mission is to help companies develop their employees, keeping them engaged and delighted at the same time, helping the company’s teams become the best versions of themselves.

To do this, we provide tools to managers and HR managers in the areas of recruitment, performance, engagement, and trainings. But we know there is space for more! That's why we need talented people to go faster.

The role 📜

As a Senior Engineer at Factorial, you'll be part of a team of 150+ product developers. We look for talented people who are curious, proactive, and have great communication skills. People who are at the forefront of developing tools that help teams become the best versions of themselves.

You'll work in a multicultural, English-speaking environment where your technical acumen, creative problem-solving abilities, and passion for user-centric products will directly contribute to our mission of improving HR processes for SMEs worldwide. It’s your choice to work from home, in our Barcelona offices, or mixing both.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React Native for the clients.

But, hey! Don't let unfamiliarity with these specific technologies hold you back! If you're someone eager to learn, you have navigated through diverse technical challenges throughout your career, and have a hunger for building new solutions that help cultivate highly satisfied, productive, employees, then we want to talk to you.

Work ethics

At Factorial, we know that building a great product means building a great team. We value some key principles that help us thrive together.

1. Radical (and Passionate) Candor: We're excited about creating great products and advancing our mission. This means being proactive, obsessing about quality, and experimenting. We tell our managers and peers things we think we cannot say, practicing radical candor to drive innovation and improvement.
2. Effective Communication: Clear communication, especially in writing, is crucial. We communicate openly, build narratives, and aren't afraid to debate ideas. If we can't explain something clearly, we seek to understand more deeply until we can. And remember, English is our vehicular language, so you need to be comfortable with it!
3. Product Vision: We understand our users' needs and actively engage with them. We constantly look for business opportunities, always asking "What can be next for Factorial?"
4. Reliability and Accountability: We deliver on our commitments while maintaining high quality. We feel accountable for the culture and make others feel accountable too. When we see something broken, we stand up to fix it, feeling responsible for all of Factorial.
5. Problem-Solving: We don't limit ourselves to our nominal job definition. We bring, execute, and later communicate solutions, seeking approval only for decisions that would be hard to reverse.
6. Teamwork Ease: We collaborate well, adapt easily, and are open to feedback. We convince or get convinced, asking the same from everyone. If an initiative comes top-down, we debate it until we fully buy-in, then champion it to our teams.
7. Fighting Complacency: We challenge the status quo and fight complacency with our whole hearts. We're vocal when something is going wrong, seeing it as an opportunity for a better world.
8. Having Fun: While our work is serious, we trust our gut when we have a 10x motivation to try something new. We jump on opportunities for innovation, involving as many people as possible.

Your first steps in Factorial

You’ll start with a 2 weeks onboarding period, where you will:

1. Read a lot: Learn about Factorial, our product, our team, and our clients.
2. Learn a lot: Pair with each team member at least once, to understand what they are working on.
3. Code a lot: Solve low-stake bug tickets or quick wins.
4. Fail a lot: We work with ephemeral development environments with almost zero configuration so you can start coding fast. And failing, going back, retrying… We understand this is part of the path, so, we will encourage you to be brave!
5. Talk a lot: Be fully integrated into the team’s rituals from day one.

After your onboarding, your day-by-day work will look like the following:

1. You will be a product engineer, taking ownership of big initiatives, and being interested in the outcome, not just the output. About the outcome, you’ll also work with your team members to establish goals and plan a quarterly roadmap, putting special attention to the technical needs of our domain.
2. A Senior Engineer at Factorial influences requirements definition and is autonomous in delivering a polished solution that matches those. You participate in the team’s decision through Requests For Comments (RFCs) that you write yourself or read others’.
3. You will be involved in customer calls to learn about their pains & needs.
4. You will review code daily and get feedback on your code at every pull request, from all team members, including juniors.
5. You will learn from the entire team, both on technical topics (performance, architecture…) and core skills, in an environment driven by engineering quality. You will also mentor junior team members and help them learn from your experience.
