Portfolio Jobs

We are Smartness, and we support small and medium-sized accommodation providers with solutions to help them fight back against the huge hotel chains. We started in 2020 by providing these companies with a dynamic pricing solution which increase revenue by on average 30%. Last year, we were named one of Italy’s top start-ups, and are the fastest growing B2B SaaS company in the accommodation space in both revenue and number of clients. Today we are working with over 4000 companies in over 20 countries, and steadily growing. Yet, this is only the start of our journey.
Beyond Smartpricing, we've launched a suite of products over the past few years that is growing by more than 10% month-over-month. Our goal is to become one of the leading global players in our industry.

Our technology team is building a platform of solutions that will help accommodation providers optimise the way they run their business. We are investing a lot in R&D with the intention to double the amount of products we host on our platform, and as such we are expanding our engineering team.

We are looking for a Fullstack Developer with a strong product mindset, able to work independently and proactively contribute to the success of our solutions. You will be part of a cross-functional team, helping design, build, and maintain scalable, high-quality applications. Your work will primarily involve Node.js on the backend and Vue.js on the frontend, with active involvement in architectural choices and product decisions.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new features and improving existing ones, ensuring high code quality and test coverage.
• Collaborating with designers, product managers, and other developers to translate business needs into effective technical solutions.
• Participating in architectural decisions and contributing to performance optimisation.
• Managing the full software development lifecycle, from planning to deployment and monitoring.
• Suggesting improvements and new product ideas based on user experience and data insights.

• Proven experience as a Fullstack Developer in a start-up or scale-up environment
• Experience as a people manager, or a strong desire to become a people manager
• Experience working with Node.js and frontend framework Vue.js
• Knowledge of Docker and k8s
• Exposure to CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins, Circle CI)
• Knowledge of databases such as Postgres and Cassandra (or equivalents)
• Experience with Kafka (or equivalents) and distributed applications (microservices)
• A strong product-oriented mindset, with the ability to work autonomously and proactively solve problems.

We are on the cusp of an extremely exciting and rewarding journey. This means we will be working hard to tackle complicated challenges as we build a business with significant potential for the future. We will compensate you with a competitive salary that conforms to the market and your experience.

Smartness is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We want sincerity, but always with respect for others and their ideas. We don’t discriminate based on race or ethnic origin, colour, or whether or not you consider yourself to have a disability. Neither will your age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, or political opinions play a part in your application with us.
