We’re looking 🕵🏻 for a logic-driven and awesome tech enthusiast to join our partner’s team in the shoes of a Java Software Engineer, working for a US-based start up that is developing an app for DJs! 🎹🇺🇸

Why join us you may ask, oh well…
⭐ We foster a culture of transparency, embrace technology, and make fast, informed decisions;
⭐ We're already working with a fantastic mix of US-based clients and we're just getting started; 
⭐ Start-up vibes - embrace the energy, innovation, and endless opportunities to make a real impact.

One more thing… HKR was remote before it was even cool! 😎
Remote is allowed, encouraged, and the norm. Now, and forever. There’s only one catch, and it comes from this guy: “Whatever you are, be a good one” - Abraham Lincoln

To apply, please fill out our external form. 🤞🏼
(You will be redirected to it automatically, once you click "Apply").

What you’ll be doing?

    • ➡️ You will work on converter engineering, taking raw log files from DJ performances and converting them into sets readable by our software for editing;
    • ➡️ You will dive deep into the logic of the converter to effectively solve errors as they occur;
    • ➡️ When new logic is needed, you'll collaborate with the head engineer to architect and implement solutions;
    • ➡️ You will evaluate log files to spot logical issues, ensuring that recordings from famous DJs are error-free before conversion into editable sets;
    • ➡️ You will identify and address new edge cases discovered in the sets;
    • ➡️ Familiarity with log files in a JSON-like format is crucial as these are central to our engineering process.

About You

    • 🔍 You come with a great level of English, both written and spoken - ideally C1;
    • 🔍 You possess strong logic skills and enjoy thinking through complex problems;
    • 🔍 You have a keen interest in converter engineering and problem-solving, rather than just writing code or building features;
    • 🔍 Java skills are a must-have for this role - we’re looking at 4+ years;
    • 🔍 Experience with a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) such as Ableton or Logic is highly beneficial, but not a must;
    • 🔍 You must have access to a Mac, as this is essential for our development environment;
    • 🔍 Previous QA experience is considered a plus, showcasing your ability to identify and troubleshoot issues effectively.

About Us

✨ Here at HKR, we're not your average company. We're all about that start-up life and let's be honest, the thought of a stuffy corporate gig makes us shudder. Our vibe? Well, it's a bit like trying to describe your favorite song - tough to explain, but it's probably the reason we're all creating some really cool stuff here.
✨ We're on a mission to change the perception of outsourcing.
✨ We thrive on feedback – it's our growth fuel. And we love celebrating wins, big or small. If you've aced something, we're your biggest fans!
✨ We've said goodbye to office politics. Meritocracy is the name of our game - it's not about who you know, but what you bring to the table.
✨ We’re the kind of folks who believe in rolling up our sleeves and getting things done. We take ownership, and we'd rather break a few things on the road to awesome than play it safe. The biggest question we ask isn't about numbers or targets, it's "How much did you care?" and If you’re putting your heart into it, you're nailing it in our book!

Location

🧭  We've got our roots in Bucharest and Cluj, Romania, but honestly, we've always been more about Wi-Fi than wall space. We've been working remote-first way before it was the cool thing to do. Whether it's working from home or popping into the office when the mood strikes, we cater to what works best for our team. Embracing change and adjusting to the times, that's just part of who we are.
