How to become a Junior Full-stack Developer at scandiweb eCommerce Expert Team?

We are a very inclusive company with colleagues from over 30 countries across all continents. Our ratio of female developers is among the highest in the industry. We welcome people from all walks of life who can complete a technical test, which includes a coding challenge.

The tests cover knowledge of React and GraphQL for the front end, as well as PHP and MySQL for the back end. We also provide a Test Automation suite for you to test your work before submitting it. We have no issues and it's OK if you use AI and Copilot to pass our test.

Anyone who completes the test is invited to a technical interview, with a 90% chance of being employed. We are confident that if you can complete the test task and the technical interview, you have the necessary background for us to guide you further on the path to engineering expertise and enterprise-level delivery.

Your previous experience and education do not matter; what matters is your ability to deliver results starting from the test task, and your enthusiasm and openness to embrace new knowledge and processes. You can even fail the test and redo it; we will provide you with feedback and will appreciate your ability to act on it to improve and pass. Continuous learning and acting on feedback are among our core organizational values.
