LIMESURVEY

At LimeSurvey we are dedicated building the world’s #1 open survey platform emphasized on ease of use, stability, and extensibility. We do this together with our fast-growing community and an international team of survey fanatics in Hamburg.

You can find LimeSurvey in over 140 countries and 80+ languages: from local governments, NGO’s and universities to students, small business owners and public traded companies.

We could use some help. If you’re looking for the next challenge as Software Engineer, you might have just found it.

This will be your arena:

Our LimeSurvey survey platform is providing capabilities to create and collect online surveys and analyse and share survey data. The survey platform can be used to conduct simple questionnaires with just a couple of questions or advanced assessments with conditionals and quota management.

We work closely with our community and partner network to co-create, fix bugs, translate, and share knowledge. You will join our creative team and get involved in building the world’s #1 open-source survey platform.

As the Software Engineer, you will have a key position in our Survey Platform Development team.  You will help build a versatile, open-source survey tool for newcomers and professionals. So, they can get the freshest insights - as easy as squeezing a lime. Well, for the latter ‘easy’ part we could really use your help.

• You need to stay on top of new technologies and seek for possible improvements
• You will build new features and break them down from our product roadmap.

• You will write technical requirements and implement them together with our team.
• You are responsible for the code you write in line with our LimeSurvey coding guidelines
• Manage application maintenance and their environments
• Your code will be showcased to the rest of the world, since we’re open source
