Full Stack Engineer

Description

Our mission

Climate change is causing deep uncertainty at all levels of society, with climate volatility reducing the security of all land-based assets and posing a multi-level security threat for the functioning of enterprises, societies, and governments.

Mitiga is a spinoff of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.

Mitiga's mission is firmly rooted in employing cutting-edge science and technology to mitigate the multifaceted risks posed by climate-driven perils. Our approach spans a spectrum of temporal scales, from real-time and annual forecasts to projections spanning the next century. This comprehensive perspective on risk, coupled with our capacity to transfer risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, positions us to significantly contribute to enhanced climate mitigation, resilience, and equity.

And we need you.

Who you are

We are looking for a skilled and personable Full Stack Engineer to develop new products and enhance Mitiga’s climate risk platform, with a focus on frontend technologies.

The role combines software development expertise with a close collaboration with Engineering, Product and Design teams.

As one of our team members you’ll be focusing on developing robust and scalable features for our EarthScan application, integrating climate capabilities into new products while keeping an eye on the scalability and stability of our platform.

What you'll do

• Product Development: Lead the development and enhancement of Next.js-based web applications and Python/TypeScript APIs. Drive feature implementation, code refactoring, and overall product improvements.

• Technology Stack Management: Develop and maintain applications using TypeScript and React for the front end. Work within a Kubernetes-based micro-frontend architecture to ensure scalability and efficiency. Utilize Playwright for end-to-end testing.

• Automation & CI/CD: Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to streamline testing, deployment, and monitoring. Ensure high-quality releases through automated workflows and continuous integration practices.

• Team Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, climate experts, and product managers, to deliver a cohesive product experience. Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and product planning.

Requirements

• 5+ years' experience in software development, ideally in a startup or fast-paced environment.

• Proficiency in modern JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with a strong focus on frontend technologies.

• Experience building SPAs and backend solutions using Node.js.

• Knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud-based technologies (Azure).

• Experience with CI/CD GitHub Actions workflows/pipelines and automated testing frameworks like Playwright.

• Understanding of relational databases, schema design, ORM setup, and data migrations.

• Strong collaboration skills with Designers to review and implement UI/UX designs while maintaining accessibility and usability standards.

• You're eager to take ownership of features and improvements.

• You have a passion for building high-quality software that is scalable, efficient, and maintainable.

• You are a strong communicator who enjoys working with diverse, cross-functional teams.

Diversity

A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain do not come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.  

Mitiga is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.

Our offer

Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. Some of our benefits, like unlimited personal time or flexible working arrangements, help work adjust to your life – and not the other way around. You can work from home or come twice a week to our office in the heart of Barcelona. Dogs and other furry friends are welcome!

Our compressed work schedule allows you to work half a day on Fridays during the year (so you can start the weekend early). During the summer, it also allows you to work 4 days a week, so you spend time with your loved ones (or work on your tan). Shadow our leadership and participate in our structured feedback and mentorship programs. If you grow, we grow.
