Backend Engineer (m/f/d)
JOB DETAIL
About Us
Our Vision
We’re creating a world where people feel accepted, satisfied, and fulfilled in their work, relationships, and company culture. Humane technology supports people finding and experiencing their bigger purpose.
Our Mission
We’re human-first. We focus on developing knowledge—not simply collecting data. Our decisions are human-centered, spanning from internal, to clients, and to the greater community. We build ethical and humane technology to make fair decisions, manifest accessibility, and create greater purpose. We do not create manipulative, automated environments that diminish the human. We do not create “work drones”. We do not create inequality with our technology; it is ethically supervised. We create for the individual, not the machine.
Our Culture
In our house, we embrace giving people responsibility, allowing them to come up with—and implement—new ideas. To get things done, we work in a multicultural team. We accept and aim to understand those who are different from ourselves. We (almost) do not care which work environment you need to get things done (grind out code while listening to Sting on full-volume? Headphones, please:) ). What’s most important is getting our work done—and anticipating what comes next. We don’t celebrate ourselves all the time—even though we’re a cool bunch. Instead, we put our customers and the important work they do, first.
