Junior Backend Engineer
WorkdayAbout The Team
As we grow the Peakon engineering team at Workday, we are looking for a backend engineer to join us in Copenhagen. Peakon teams own their roadmap, work collaboratively and include engineering, UI/UX design, and product management.
The Peakon team at Workday is driven by the belief that we can radically change the world of work. We believe that when an organisation listens to employee feedback and empowers every employee to drive the change they want to see, it can create more fulfilling jobs and grow in ways never before imagined.
We’re in the business of creating great places to work, so it should be no surprise that being a great place to work is our highest priority. With ambitions as big as ours, we see individual growth and development as the key strategy for growing our business.
About The Role
Your focus will be to contribute to the development and evolution of the Peakon platform.
You will be a key contributor in technical and functional discussions within the team, working closely with peers and engineering leads to set the technical direction for the product.
You will also work with peers, through regular code reviews and occasional pair programming.
As part of the Peakon team at Workday, you'll:
- Be an integral member of a cross-functional team in an agile environment
- Collaborate with other engineers, designers, QAs, and the team’s product manager to deliver exciting and impactful features for employees across all levels at companies who use Peakon everyday
- Build features that help employees drive the change they want to see at their workplace
- Regularly review and discuss other engineer’s code
- Contribute to architectural discussions with other engineers across all levels
- Use your technical expertise to contribute towards building a best-in-class product
Our Tech
We make it a priority to stay on the cutting edge of tech. We are highly motivated by learning and growing in our roles, and constantly evolving is a key part of that.
We believe there is great value in a shared toolchain, which is why our tech stack centers around JavaScript, with Node.js on the server and React on the frontend. To prevent runtime errors in our frontend applications, we have recently introduced TypeScript. Ultimately we believe that our tech stack needs to evolve as our industry evolves.
We are hosted on AWS and we use PostgreSQL (through RDS), Redis and ElasticSearch for storage. We rely heavily on automated testing on all levels of the application, with thousands of tests checking every commit to our code base. We use Buildkite for continuous integration to make sure our most recent changes are always available to test, and we deploy code to our production environment every day.
About You
Basic Qualifications
- 1-3 years of experience with backend development
- You have worked in a team setting, using collaborative tools for version control, code reviews and project management
Other Qualifications
- You are familiar with a Node.js based ecosystem or willing to put in the extra work at the beginning to make the switch
- You have experience building web applications with an understanding of scalability, high availability, latency and throughput
- You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

- Flexible work schedule
- Collaborative work environment
