Description
As a team our mission is to create a technology driven company where we are empowered to use our skills to solve difficult problems and scale the product.
To achieve this, we are looking to hire software developers that are passionate about developing simple solutions for complex problems. Successful candidates will work with our team in a full-stack position.
Our tech stack is primarily Ruby on Rails using PostgreSQL, all hosted on Heroku. We use Terraform to manage our infrastructure and encourage teams to be involved in how we deploy and run our code in Production.
You’ll be supported by one of our Engineering Managers who are there to help you with your career progression and ensure that the team you are on are working as well as they can - continuously improving!
We have a career progression framework that means you know what is expected of you and how you can progress through our career ladder and your Engineering Managers will work with you to make sure you are happy, fulfilled, and doing the best work you can be doing.
About the role
Software engineers at Carwow work on cross-functional product teams of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers and Data Analysts. You will work closely with a Product Manager and a Tech Lead on deciding what features to build for customers, break down and build features with the team, review code, mentor engineers, ensure operational excellence, and share knowledge broadly across the engineering organisation.
What you’ll be doing
We love solving real-world problems!
We work quickly, releasing code into production multiple times daily. You’ll see your code go live continuously.
You’d be part of a growing team building a platform that will help define the future of car buying.
We’re a curious bunch driven by a common goal of "How can we make it better?
We work hard to ensure our people have the right level of autonomy, support and sense of purpose to really flourish in their careers.
What you’ll need
Please note: We know that no candidate will be the perfect match for all we’ve listed in this posting, so we’d encourage you to apply if you feel you’re close to the brief but not an exact match.
Time spent in software engineering roles is of course important, but we prioritise attitude, aptitude, and the kind of impact you’ve had over years’ experience. Ideally you’ll have:
Have around 3+ years or more experience in software development
Have worked as a software engineer with Ruby on Rails
Are self-driven and take responsibility for product outcomes, doing whatever’s necessary to make things happen
Able to work take on loosely defined tasks, communicate with stakeholders and break the work down into smaller deliverables
Experience with (some of) the following: TDD, Kafka, Git, JS, Heroku, HotWire
Experience working in distributed teams and working cross-functionally with Product managers, designers, user researchers and other developers,
Write code to be maintained – with good documentation, tests, and structure.
Are keen to learn continuously, share knowledge, communicate effectively and build a product in close collaboration with others.
You’re not expected to be an expert in all of these technologies and tools, we are happy to support your learning journey. If you’re unsure about any of the above, please apply.
