The role

You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we scale-up our already proven product to expand in new clients and markets. As part of a team of 12 engineers, you’ll have the opportunity to work across all areas of the products.

Our approach is to hire software engineers with a breadth of experience that can work across multiple areas, with a specialism in either front-end  or back-end development.

Across all specialisms we look for:

• Strong TypeScript and Node.js experience
• CI / CD processes, including Github Actions
• Experience working an early start / scale up company in highly collaborative teams
• Ownership of the quality of your code - creating well-designed, testable code
• Experience working with monorepos
• Experience with RESTful API design and API centric platforms
• Design for security and design for operations

For front-end specialised candidates we are ideally  looking for:

• React JS,  including custom react components
• State management libraries
• Webpack
• Unit, Integration and E2E testing experience, using Jest, React Testing Library and Cypress
• Design systems such as Material and associated tools such as Storybook
• Experience in developing products with high level of Accessibility
• Responsive design

For back-end specialised candidates we look for:

• Extensive knowledge of AWS with a focus on serverless technologies
• Infrastructure as Code, specifically Terraform
• Working knowledge of Azure and GCP
• Experience working with RDBMS (ideally postgres), NoSQL stores (ideally DynamoDB) and graph databases
• Docker
• Elasticsearch / OpenSearchD

Don’t worry if you don’t meet exactly all the criteria, we would still love to hear from you.

These roles are open to applicants UK wide and are remote-first, although we like to get together at least twice a year, usually somewhere interesting, to spend some time together.

We offer a generous package, including a base salary of £65-75k, bonus scheme and generous benefits.

We have a simple two step interview process comprising a first stage technical interview with the team that includes a live coding test (no pre-work required) and a final stage personal interview with our CTO.
