Jobs at Magnolia

Magnolia International AG, the Swiss company that develops Magnolia, has grown by 100% in 2007. While we are still a small company, demand for our enjoyable and powerful software keeps rising and has allowed us to sign up some of the most respected clients on the planet. We invite you to become part of our unique success story.

We are currently seeking to hire:

Junior Software Developer (Java Web Applications)

As a Junior Software Developer you will be joining the Magnolia core team and help build the next generation of easy-to-use, web-based content management software.

You will participate in discussions with senior developers and the product manager to decide what is being worked on. As a Junior, you enjoy the freedom to work on some research and prototype projects as well as learning new technologies and architectures. On the other hand, the functionality you implement will be used by thousands of people on the planet. You strive in communicating openly with peers and our communities, defend your findings and opinions but accept that reality comes in many shades, most of which have to do with the fact that resources are always limited and real artists ship.

What we look for:

  • a sharp mind – razor-sharp if possible
  • experience and enthusiasm developing web-based applications
  • ability to communicate in English and in a proactive manner
  • a high level of frustration resilience (needed to survive the cross-browser incompatibilities, Javascript madness and ever-changing schedules)
  • an outstanding degree in Computer Science or related
  • reliability, trustworthiness and professional integrity

About you & us

At Magnolia International you will:
  • work in a small team of highly motivated peers
  • use state-of-the-art development tools like jira, SVN, maven2, clover, fisheye etc.
  • get exposure to the Java and Open Source communities
  • work in an international environment

Our offices are located in Basel, Switzerland. It is preferred that you work on our premises. If you do not wish to relocate to Basel, a remote work setup is possible as well. Our job openings are full time employment opportunities.

If you are self-motivated and get things done, like to work at a small company and take part in the excitement we create, we would definitely like to hear from you.

Please send an up to date CV for an immediate response to Nathalie Fankhauser

Life here is great, Basel is a fantastic city to live and work in and our office is in walking distance to nearly anything. Food and the general quality of life in Switzerland is fantastic.

Work at MI is free of politics and unnecessary meetings designed to bore you to death or impress your mates with fancy slides. We work on things that matter and have direct impact on us and our clients.

If that sounds better than your current position, we would be delighted to hear from you now.
