Freelance Senior Software Consultant

About us

Codurance is a boutique IT consultancy. One of the good ones!

It's not just about making code that works, we're passionate about crafting quality software which translates to applying Extreme Programming practices and Software Craftsmanship values in continuous delivery.
We are stack agnostic although we have a slight preference for OOP languages, what are yours?

What else?

Easy to summarize: we are passionate about learning and love to share knowledge, internally and externally! Our horizontal structure allows for a truly collaborative environment, with trust and transparency which also enable autonomy at work. You can truly have an impact on how the organization works and are expected to get involved in different areas of the business to participate to a podcast, an event, interviews and you're not limited by your job title.

We aim to create a more sustainable and adaptable future via well-crafted software and positive cultural change. Not only as a partner for our clients but also as an employer/a great place to work so read on!

The Role

We are looking for an experienced freelance/consultant Software Engineer / Software Developer (we call ours Software Craftspeople) who shares the same values of pragmatism, professionalism, and transparency that we do.

You could work on a client project with our team delivery approach: this could be a greenfield project for a startup, or helping to modernise a mission-critical system for a large enterprise client. Maybe you'd work as an embedded craftsperson, working within our client's existing development to help them get better at writing their software. Or perhaps you're more interested in helping to introduce the values of Craftsmanship to an organisation through coaching & mentoring.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and clients to build high-quality, maintainable software.
• Engage in pair programming and code reviews to promote best practices and knowledge sharing.
• Apply Extreme Programming (XP) methodologies, including Test-Driven Development (TDD), to deliver value in small increments.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to deployment.
• Mentor and coach other developers, sharing knowledge and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• A high level of English and Spanish (spoken and written)
• 6+ years of experience with at least one of these languages: Java/C#/ Python/Kotlin/JavaScript/TypeScript/PHP and its build system
• Experience working as a freelance or consultant
• Comfortable with OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
• Familiarity with a cloud solution (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform)
• Familiarity with concepts of multi-layer application designs
• A quality-oriented mindset: follow best practices (Testing (ideally TDD), pair programming, continuous integration/deployment, Agile methodologies) and SOLID principles

What else about your profile?

• You are passionate about writing and improving (clean) code and systems.
• You are a true team player with a collaborative approach, sharing knowledge, and humbly learning from others too.
• You are resilient, adaptable and driven
• You are curious and love learning new technologies, techniques, and approaches.

What's in it for you?

• As a freelance you'd have the flexibility and autonomy that you were looking for!
• Full-remote option from whatever location you are in (on the Spanish territory)
• Our People - You’ll be working alongside Craftspeople who share your interest in learning, whether that’s on a client project or contributing to our internal projects.

We are interested in all qualified candidates who are based in Spain and eligible to work here. However, we are not able to sponsor visas or provide relocation assistance for this role.
Everyone should have the right to bring their whole self to work and be celebrated for who they are. Our people are hired purely on their commitment to these values and their ambition to deliver outstanding results for our clients. Codurance is proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer and is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace.
