Company: Hindawi Romania - A Wiley Brand


Our mission is to unlock human potential. We welcome you for who you are and the background you bring, and we embrace individuals who get excited about learning. Bring your experiences, your perspectives, and your passion; it's in our differences that we empower the way the world learns.


We strive for a future where researchers are motivated to work together, empowered with the tools and services they need to do so, and freed from any barriers that stand in their way.


We believe in the power of open scholarly communication to radically improve the research process. We are passionate about working with the research community to promote the transition towards Open Science on a large scale. With the help of our editors, we focus on serving our authors while preserving robust publishing standards and editorial integrity.


About The Company:
Hindawi is one of the world's largest open-access publishers of peer-reviewed journals. Our journals publish thousands of articles annually across all areas of science and medicine, reaching millions of readers. Most of what we build is open-source; therefore, you can get a better idea of the kind of work done so far; just head over to https://gitlab.com/hindawi.


Here are some things we've worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what we're building:

• Email Template Manager built by Who This team
• Editor Suggestion Tool built by Qalas team
Flexible Editorial Models built by the Rocket team

We value people who can take a stand yet commit even when they disagree. And understand the value in others being heard. We subject ideas to rigorous consideration and challenge each other, but all remember that we're here for the same purpose: to do good work together. That comes with direct feedback, openness to each others' experiences, and willingness to show up for each other as well as for the technical work at hand. We're in this for the long term.


We're a Java Script shop (Node, Express, Nest JS, React, Graph QL) and most of our colleagues are what's known in the industry as the T-Shaped developers. They are well-versed in the backend or front-end and dangerous enough in the other areas to be able to get the job done. But it's not a hard requirement from day 1 for you. It's OK if you have experience only in backend or front-end development if you are open to learning and working on the other areas. We as a company are committed to helping you learn what's needed to get the job done with ease.


About The Role:
We are seeking a Software Engineer as a member of our engineering team to help us develop our flagship product, Phenom.
