Lifeware is hiring - Pharo, GemStone, XP/TDD (CH / LU / ES)

by Vincent Blondeau

Hi all, We have a new project starting at Lifeware and we're looking for people to join us. Our stack is Smalltalk: Glamorous Toolkit (Pharo), GemStone for deployment, strict TDD and pair programming. We follow the real XP practices as described by Kent Beck. You will work across the full lifecycle: talking to clients, designing, building, shipping, and maintaining. The domain is insurance. Work is on-site with flexible remote days. We're looking for people with a STEM background who care about writing code with high quality. Smalltalk experience is welcome but not required. Curiosity and craft matter more than years on a CV. Enthusiasm for working with AI is a plus. Locations: Bioggio (Lugano, Switzerland), Luxembourg, or Barcelona. International team, everything in English. More details and application here: https://www.lifeware.ch/job/innovative-problem-solver-software-engineer-4/ Feel free to reach out directly to me if you have questions. Best, [cid:8943ceea-ff74-4c0a-9792-274da40ac7cb] Vincent BLONDEAU lifeware.ch
