Description/n

/n We are growing our engineering team and on the lookout for new engineers to take our company to the next level. /n This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in corporate, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you. /n If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world. /n At Freelancer you’ll get to work on a highly diverse, global set of internet-scale challenges where you will make a meaningful difference with real responsibility, while rapidly building your skills.

We run a meritocracy - we actively promote from within. /n You’ll also change lives - our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference like Freelancer does in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world. /n We have a very wide range of engineering challenges to sink your teeth into. You’ll get a chance to be exposed to a wide variety of technologies across our businesses.

Freelancer.com is an Alexa top 1000 website with a cutting-edge frontend stack incorporating Angular, TypeScript and RxJS.
