- Solid knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases.
- Technological adaptability and eagerness to learn new languages and frameworks.
- Ability to work autonomously with a focus on impact.
- Intermediate English level (able to read/write technical documentation).

What we offer
We offer a competitive compensation package, including market-rate salary. We also offer unique benefits, such as:

- One remote work week every quarter and two annual VIVLA la VIDA offsite company parties.
- Free lunch at the office, including a team family lunch on Thursdays and weekly beer-filled All Hands.
- Working with excellent professionals is the best motivation. Here you’ll find a friendly bunch of entrepreneurs aiming to change the way people live.

- A leadership team that truly cares about a rich and balanced lifestyle for all employees, and a work environment that guarantees emotional safety and mental stability of all employees.
How is the team and our culture?
- We are a small, compact and very senior team. Our executive team has been behind the growth and internationalization of several companies. Right now, there are 30 of us on the team.
- At Vivla you will have the rare chance to work in a vibrant and energizing start-up culture with flat hierarchies and clear core values. We have no space for arrogance, empty corporate bureaucracy, lack of empathy or mistreatment.
- We treat people as we would treat our family, for real, and we also believe that people should have fun, flexibility and good perks, but knowing that hard work is very important to build something great (mental health friendly :-)
- We have a large kitchen in the office and every Thursday a couple cooks for the rest.
