This will either be in Cambridge or a rotating location in the South or East of England. You will therefore need to be able to travel and ideally will have a car to make this easier.The role:You’ll have the opportunity to work on all aspects of our platform - back-end services, core technology (and our web apps if you want to) - working closely with our customer success team to make sure the platform is working well for our customers and staying highly-responsive to their needs.You’ll bring your experience working on a cloud service or comparable system to help us solve the technical and operational challenges that come with scaling, develop exciting new features and products and help us build the team further once we’re ready.Joining a very experienced and talented but small team, you’ll have a high level of responsibility and influence very quickly.

Experience developing and operating a cloud service or complex system.

2+ years experience programming with Go in a business environment.

10+ years experience using one or more of Go, C#, Java, C or C++.

A good sense of what it takes to build a reliable, scalable, maintainable product but the flexibility to move fast when we are prototyping or customers have problems we need to solve quickly.

The ability to take ownership of a piece of work (large or small) and drive it to completion, working collaboratively to explore questions and decisions that need to be made along the way.

Comfortable working in a linux development environment.

Experience mentoring less-experienced engineers (we’ll want you to do this as we grow the team).

A strong customer focus and desire for everything that you do to be directly helping our customers or winning us new ones.

Happy to join our on-call rota, once you are up to speed.

Adaptable and open-minded about how your role evolves as we grow the business.

Personable and highly motivated.

👀 It’s not required, but if you have experience in, and enthusiasm for, the ops side of things - observability & monitoring, deployments, infrastructure-as-code, cloud & runtime environments, networking etc. - then that’s a bonus!

Informal chat with Mark, the CTO (video)

Senior Full Stack Developer (front-end focus)

What you’ll be doing:As a Senior Full Stack Developer (with front-end focus), you’ll be responsible for:

Building solutions to problems (especially solutions with a heavy front-end focus)

Design of the solution (in conjunction with Product Managers and/or other colleagues)

Helping colleagues facing issues with front-end development

Day-to-day life on the Product Development team looks like:

Most of your time will be spent designing and building solutions.

For our tech stack we use:

Django/Django REST Framework/Postgres for backend,

Angular for our web application,

Ionic/Angular for our apps (we’re looking at moving to a new framework, likely Flutter)

and for infrastructure we use AWS ECS/ECR, Aurora and Lambda.

For design, it’s quick brainstorming, a bit of analysis, sketching on paper or Figma, and/or jotting down a short design doc in Google Docs

A chunk of time is spent on understanding issues, users and our platform. This includes talking to ops colleagues. We take turns answering ops support requests

It’s fast paced. We’re light on overhead and don’t outsource quality to a QA team. Quality, maintainability and security start at the design stage and are everyone’s responsibility.We run 2-week sprints. Each day starts with a daily 10-minute standup and then it varies a lot from there. The issues vary from sprint-to-sprint. It’s typically very user focused, but we do make time each quarter to do unsexy important stuff (refactor, pay down technical debt, database upgrades, etc).It’s not a solo effort. While we maximise the time you must put your head down and get on with cracking a problem, we grab each other for help every day. And we do peer review of design and code, while building and deploying to production regularlyIf you like having a holistic view of the product (from idea to release to growth), rather than being highly specialised in one niche, you’ll probably enjoy this role.What we’re looking for:

General characteristics

You like solving real problems. When you make something, you make it to solve someone’s issue. You understand the issue and the person facing it. You put in a bit of extra effort to make it a good experience for the user

Uncertainty is a fun problem to figure out, rather than an annoying headache. When you don’t know the answer, you try something. You experiment. You dig.

You’re a clear concise communicator. When writing or speaking, you know which details to prioritise

KISS is important to you. You have an instinct for when a solution is too complicated for the problem

You know how to learn and skill up. When faced with a novel skill area, you can self- critique your level and push yourself to improve

You reside in the UK or the EU

If you don’t live near Oxford, you are able to travel and work in our office in Oxford for a few days each quarter

Specific characteristics for this role

Taken multiple features from idea to release to growth

Having spent meaningful time as part of different teams (we’d prefer at least 6 years as a developer)

Deep front-end experience, including responsive design, for consumer facing businesses

Design sense for UX/UI. Not just writing code. May have done wireframes before.

Can look at an interface and tell if it is terrible or not

Some experience working on backend (e.g. building APIs, database design, etc)

Some experience with CI/CD or deployments in general

Ideally, some experience in an agency (for consumer facing apps) and/or early-stage consumer facing startup
