A bit about the team

You can get to know the team better at one of the interviews, but some brief information about future colleagues will be useful now.

The Frozen team is engaged in transitioning customer facing production and company infrastructure products to a better maintainable state using a refined adoption process. With our process, we aim to own products with smaller efforts. Using this process we are adopting more products each year and enhancing their shape. However this process requires us to use the best practices and make sure that products are maintainable with minimal efforts. As our portfolio grows we need a backend developer to help us and make the world better.

We’re looking for someone who is eager to make really scalable and resilient applications. There are many experienced colleagues on the team, and they will always be able to help and guide you. It’s important for us that our future Backend Engineer is ready to work in a team and make decisions together.

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably

• It’s up to you to decide what work format works best for you. You can #wfo, #wfh, or mix both

• Flexible working day start

• Unlimited PTO

• Hobby benefit

• Breakfast, snacks, and coffee at the office

• Corporate events

• Training, courses, conferences

• Gifts for employees

Our new colleague, we are waiting for you!

Semrush is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, ancestry, physical or mental disability, or medical condition including medical characteristics, genetic identity, marital status, military service, or any other classification protected by applicable local, state or federal laws. All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, merit, and individual qualifications.

At Semrush, we take a serious and comprehensive approach to hiring new people. We welcome those who are professionals in their field and passionate about their work to join our team.

A “five-minute interview” or “get a job in three clicks” approach is not the way we work.

During the interview, we ask candidates to talk about themselves and their background in detail. We try to discover the most important aspects about the way someone works and their personality before a job offer is made.
