About us
Here at moveax, we have the ambition to be regarded as the best possible partner for any business that seeks help in facing the daily challenges of the tech world
We are proud to be the right people to interact with in the field of software development, cybersecurity, blockchain and DLT

We believe our main competitive advantage is having a team made of young talents who have a strong passion for technology
We treat every project for our customers with the same care we have for our own projects and we constantly try to improve our processes to achieve the best possible results

We are based in Rome, we love working side by side, but we are also open for remote collaborations
Our working activity is not properly time-based as we rather focus on achieving the goals we committed to

Our team
The following is a description of an average member of our team:

  • Quite young (around 30 years old): this does not mean we are not open to older collaborators, it is just an indication that we like to invest on young talents regardless of the years of experience they have

  • Driven by great passion for technology: the ones who love their job perform better with less effort

  • Open source and stackoverflow contributor: it’s nice to take, but it’s also necessary to give something back to the community

  • Knowledge cruncher, the world runs fast and you have to stay up to date, read a lot and learn from those who have already faced a problem before you is definitely the right path to take

  • Passionate about the UNIX-like world, what’s better than knowing what’s happening in your pc?

  • Beer lover, it helps to think better 🙂 

Job Description
We are looking for a smart person who is strongly goal-oriented and able to reason analytically
This profile should be able to collaborate with the other team members to solve all the daily challenges that will arise
She/he will have to use her/his programming and engineering knowledge to analyze the current code and to improve it and to constantly collaborate to the improvement of our company processes
We expect to find a person who, before writing tons of codes, dedicates the right amount of time to think and model

The person we are looking for will develop a backend system made up of microservices, keeping a high code quality with a “living documentation” approach and high level code comments, in order to make collaboration with other team members as easy as possible
A very important skill for us is the ability to autonomously evaluate your own work and schedule code refactors when necessary

We also expect you to autonomously evaluate and criticize the design choices you will work with day by day, actively contributing in evolving our projects and constantly aiming to improve both yourself and your team
