Senior Backend Engineer (9 months Fixed Term Contract)
Trackunit is a fast-growing company and a leading supplier of IoT solutions, operating out of many offices worldwide. Trackunit specializes in digital solutions that connect machines, people, and systems in the global construction industry. The construction industry is the least digitalized industry of all. This lack of digitalization has left construction far behind a global economy on the rise and placed the industry as one of the least productive industries too.
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team building our next generation toolset servicing our IoT fleet. You will be joining a global development and design team working in a modern Java stack.
Our North American hub is located in London, Ontario and headquarters are in Aalborg, Denmark.

The team works typical Eastern time zone hours.
What’s in it for you?
- Create an industry leading toolset of applications for customers to manage their global fleets of IoT devices.

- International environment with regular check-ins and social events across teams, departments and borders.
- We take your personal and professional development goals seriously and we support them through training, coaching and mindfulness as well as with an outspoken feedback culture to make you identify your strengths and opportunities. We do this by touching upon your impact on our triple focus: impacting yourself, impacting teams/relations and impacting the organisation/strategy.
- Flexibility and hybrid working is not just a cliché to us or something we state in a job posting. We do offer you a flexible setup and believe that you best can structure how your routines look like. And once you have chosen how you work best, let us know what you need: we got you covered with the IT equipment you need for your work.
