Are you a Senior Software Engineer looking to apply your coding skills to help change the world?
Are you keen to have serious input and influence at a design level?
Then this is the perfect role for you!
We're looking to build an in-house permanent Engineering function. As such, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team. You will report to our soon-to-be appointed CTO and work closely with the rest of the team as it continues to expand.
Your focus will be on building a full white-label offering, allowing us to seamlessly integrate into new retail partners, but you'll also work on a wide range of additional products. Those will include creating an application automating our warehouse operations and adding AI to our pricing algorithms to improve their accuracy.
Our back-end is built using Node.js with TypeScript, and for more UI-focused and mobile products, we utilise React and React Native. Our teams work to Agile methodologies and, as a Senior within that team, it will be important for you to champion these processes and take part in all ceremonies.
Based on your position, we'll also expect the Senior Software Engineer to lead projects and heavily contribute to tooling and architectural decisions, including creating the technical design. You'll be responsible for driving the engineering culture within the team, ultimately fostering a tech agnostic, high-quality approach to engineering.
In the long term, this role has tremendous scope for growth as the function and wider business continue to expand. We see the Senior Software Engineer eventually progressing to Technical Lead, acting as the authority for all things engineering.
What you need as a Senior Software Engineer
- Experience working on a platform with a reasonable level of complexity - this could mean multiple APIs, third-party integrations, or large volumes of data/traffic - and have familiarity dealing with scalability issues.
- Familiarity with Node.js will also be essential, though non-commercial experience is fine.
- Given you will be working on some front-end functionality, you will need to have some client-side JavaScript experience, with knowledge around UI interactions.
- We see good testing standards as essential, and as someone who'll be driving this, you'll appreciate the importance of well-tested code as well as have a passion for the Agile way of working.
- You must have the motivation needed to join a start-up, with the ability to take initiative on projects and get involved across the whole product life-cycle.
What you'll get as a Senior Software Engineer
This is a fantastic chance to be one of the first hires into a new engineering team, at potentially one of the world's most exciting start-ups. This will bring huge scope and opportunity to not only lead projects but also work on an incredibly complex, almost greenfield platform - building something that's a definite first for our industry!
You can expect to receive the autonomy and trust needed to engineer the best products possible. With the stack and tooling at relative infancy, you will be expected to heavily influence key decision making around new technologies and ways of working as needed. You'll also contribute at a design level, so will be able to make your mark on the product directly.
We really believe that they will be a game-changer - and you'll be a huge part of this journey. The team you'll be joining is full of visionaries who are looking to change the world and, at its core, they were created to help protect the environment. We truly believe that our product will make a genuine difference to how consumers approach retail, helping to mould their purchasing habits to decrease waste and increase sustainable practices.
