Project Description

Our client is a Brazilian Time & Attendance startup. Our system allows us to ensure that employees follow the assigned schedule and track their time when they work out of the office.

Our team has been building the technical part of this product from the very beginning. We have already started working with companies with more than 1000 employees.

We are looking for a mature, challenge-driven engineer to reinforce our team and help us build a high-quality product. The project is growing and dynamic and affects the salaries of thousands of people across Brazil.

From the back-end perspective, the product is:
