We might post similar jobs in te future, so feel free to send us your CV in anticipation.

At DocSolver, we create innovative applications by unlocking and connecting disparate sources of customer data. We’re founder-owned and funded through the revenue of our NotaPulse product. To support our growth, we’re looking for a fifth team member.

Job contents

You will work independently, mainly writing Clojure(Script) and some SQL to implement user stories and tickets which are tracked in GitLab. Most tickets will be about developing an internal framework for data collection and creating applications on top of this framework.

You will also do technical reviews of other team members’ work.

If it interests you, you can also get involved with devops but this requires some proficiency of our entire technology stack.

Work arrangement

The job is 100% remote and you’re free to choose your working hours (and days). Feel free to travel the world while you work with us :-). We only require you to attend our daily standup meeting on Slack (on weekdays, within European business hours) and occasional ad-hoc meetings.

We want a relationship based on trust and are confident that you can work independently. The job is performance-based, so you don’t need to keep detailed records about time spent. It’s sufficient that you document your progress and report it during standups.

You should be able to work full-time (i.e. 35h/week, ~47 weeks per year). To make it worthwhile, we think you should be able to spend at least one year working with us, but preferably longer.

You will be hired as a contractor. For every hour worked you can invoice us €25 - 30 (the rate will be determined based on your skill level). Thus, a full year’s work amounts to €41K - 50K. Any taxes or payment processing fees will need to be paid by you. However, if you invoice us from an EU-based entity subject to VAT, you can charge VAT on top.

Technologies used

Clojure for the backend.

ClojureScript on the frontend (Aide + Reagent) and for scripting (Lumo).

Docker + Kubernetes + AWS for application delivery.

Jenkins as CI server.

Minikube for local development.

Intellij + Cursive IDE, but you’re free to use another editor.

About us

We are an Antwerp-based software company, focused on the legal industry. Our main product is NotaPulse: a BI SaaS for notaries which collects their data, wherever they keep it, and lets them compare their own numbers against those of their peers.

To keep up with increasing demands we are building a new framework to quickly set up datastores in which we can collect data from different sources. This framework will be our foundation to both expand to other industries and add additional applications to leverage the existing data.

We are currently a team of three co-founders and one full-time developer (also remote).
