Come join our team!
Appfire is a global team of awesome humans working all around the world: US, Poland, India, Spain, Bulgaria, Switzerland, France and Canada.
You’ll work with the BI/Reporting team and focus on maintaining and bringing new features to the server/datacenter version of a top performant app. This app creates powerful reports from Jira data and is focused on large instances with historical data.
Teams within Appfire are small cross-functional teams. We apply a pragmatic approach to Scrum with two weeks sprints in a continuous deployment process with everything integrated and automated: From Jira, Confluence, Bamboo or Bitbucket to Slack, when you push your code, the wheel starts to spin.
The product team works in a Triad: Product manager, product marketing manager and the head of product engineer to coordinate all the moving pieces of the product life cycle
As an experienced, full-stack engineer you’ll take a significant leadership role in architecting and implementing major new areas of product functionality. It would be great if you have at least two years of experience developing significant Atlassian Data Centers or Server apps; preferably for Jira.
Our front-end framework is a combination of Backbone.js, Google Closure (Soy) templates, and jQuery. Our back end is Java, running as an OSGi service under Atlassian Jira, and we work extensively with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. We are currently working on creating the cloud version of the app, so in collaboration with the cloud team, you will work on unifying as much as possible the cloud and data center code.
Who you’ll do it with
- Iñigo Gonzalez (Principal Software Engineer) – Iñigo has worked the last 8 years building apps for the Atlassian cloud. Ask him about any API from the Atlassian suite and he'll analyze and rant about it. He co-founded RoninPixels, the company behind the app Dashboard Hub, company acquired by Appfire
- Gorka Puente (Principal Product Manager) – Gorka has spent the last 10 years as product manager in the Atlassian ecosystem, and he was researcher in the University in a previous life. He’s also co-founder of RoninPixels.
- Steve Kling (Head of Product Engineering) – With more than 25 years of experience, Steve leads the team building the cloud app development framework that is bringing our apps to new limits. We are lucky having him in the team, because he brings tons of knowledge solving challenges when it comes to bring Data Center apps to the Cloud!
- David Goldstein (Chief Product Architect) – More than 30 years of experience, half of that time in the Atlassian ecosystem and proudly creator of Dataplane for Jira. With his clear vision and product insights, the team will be able to focus on the interesting technical challenges.
