About the role

You’ll be part of an immensely skilled and ambitious tech team and have the opportunity to experiment and push the boundaries of what's technologically possible. You’ll work in cross-disciplinary and highly agile six-week Product Cycles where your responsibilities will include architecting and implementing new features, writing clean and efficient code, debugging and fixing issues. Additionally, you will have the chance to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices, contribute to process improvements and help drive our development processes forward.

About you

You thrive when given a high level of responsibility and autonomy and are comfortable with the pace and uncertainties of a startup.

You’re a creative problem solver, possess advanced technical skills and can communicate effectively with all stakeholders - technical and non-technical.

You thrive in an environment of relaxed intensity, with a collegiate attitude and positive outlook, and you have a proven history of creating impact.

You have extensive experience designing software architectures for scalability, reliability and performance, have solid skills in full-stack web development, REST API, QA and CI/CD pipelines - and you possess excellent skills in agile methodologies and delivery at pace.

In addition, you’re adaptive and pragmatic, have the highest standards and have a passion for personal growth and development. You care about pushing others to achieve their goals, mentoring and coaching them to become engineers at the top of their game.

What you can expect from us

Of course, we offer all the lovely benefits like an awesome location in North East London, a pension scheme, flexible working hours, the option to work remotely, health insurance and all of that good stuff. But the most important part is that we offer you the opportunity to join a one-of-a-kind startup journey where you can create real impact (not just the buzzword kind of impact but real impact where you take full responsibility for your area of expertise) and work together with the friendliest and brightest minds in the industry.
