About the role:

We’re looking for a full stack engineer with strong frontend experience to join our first-class technical team. You will be involved in technology decision making, architecture, best practices as well as contributing to our code base. Above all we’re looking for a positive person who is great to work with, has a strong belief in their skills, is objective focused and is able to challenge others in a constructive way.

Like most other technology teams, we follow an Agile development methodology; but unlike others we use a flexible variant of scrum across the entire organisation, including executive tasks and decisions. Our team will span multiple disciplines with much flexibility for individuals to move between core engineering, infrastructure, testing and research.

The core of our stack is Go, VueJS and PostGres. We use Python for scripts and data and manage an immutable infrastructure (on AWS) combining Hashicorp, Ansible and Github actions.

We are building out our data architecture and streaming technologies using a variety of open-source platforms. We are flexible about the technologies and skills you have come with and want to hear about them.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a very fast-growing, well-funded fintech start-up and be able to grow and develop with the company.

Responsibilities:

  • Contributing to frontend and microservice code
  • Becoming part of our product development scrum team
  • Helping to raise the bar in testing and quality
  • Helping to improve architecture and software design
  • Mentoring and diffusing knowledge to the rest of the team.

You might be a good fit if you have:

  • 3+ years software engineering experience.
  • Experience in several technologies across FE with some BE exposure.
  • Front-end library / framework experience, including VueJS, React or Angular.
  • Strong Relational Database experience; both in querying and design.
  • Good knowledge of source control
  • Architectural skills.
  • Strong communication and team working skills

Nice to haves

  • Degree in Computer Science or similar
  • Experience with No-SQL databases; Mongo, Cassandra, Redis
  • Real time streaming; Apache Storm/ Kafka Streams
  • Infrastructure knowledge; ansible, puppet, AWS, Kubernetes
