Job Description

Unlike other companies, being a Senior Engineer isn’t just a paygrade or empty title for us here at Akeno. It’s a distinction! It means you have built successful products in the past, faced mysterious production errors and came out on top of them, know how to get stuff done right, not just fast. Being a

Senior Full-Stack Engineer

means you can see a feature through from start to end, from the frontend all the way down to the database, and sometimes even a bit of UX design if needed.


You’ll be working in our

Applications Team

with team mates that “know their stuff”. Colleagues who are there when you need them and not afraid to ask when you can help them. We don’t have dedicated architects or tech leads because frankly—if you’re a true senior—you should be capable of creating a great first draft yourself … and smart enough to involve others to make it even better.

You Will Be Working On

A state-of-the-art software that helps customers save millions Make our software truly enterprise- and self-service ready Deliver feature increments from top to bottom Resolve bugs in a way that they never happen again Create monitoring & testing so we detect issues before the customer ever does Continuously improve our DX for even faster development cycles

Experience in long-term product development Strong coding skills in
