Senior Web Developer 80%-100%

Adfinis drives digitalization with open standards and technologies, shaping a world of innovative, sustainable, and resilient IT solutions based on trusted open-source technology.

As our company grows, we want to strengthen and complement the skills of our development team, which designs and implements web-based applications that enable our customers to digitize their work processes.

At the core of our development stack are single-page applications based on Ember.js (JavaScript), which are connected to backend services based on Django (Python) and PostgreSQL via REST or GraphQL APIs.
