What's the role?

As part of the team you'll be:

- Building backend services, typically in NodeJS with TypeScript

- Developing frontend applications using frameworks such as React and AngularJS

- Collaborating with the other engineers, designers, and the product manager in your team

- Automating testing to ensure quality

- Continuously deploying your work to cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP

- Monitoring the health of the products and services you build

If this sounds like something you'd be able to do, we'd love to hear from you.

We trust our development teams to choose their tech stacks, so you may also encounter Scala, TypeScript, Java, Docker, Kubenetes, Kafka, and React Native.

- We promote collaboration and knowledge transfer through Slack channels and via internal meet-ups.

- We attend a number of tech conferences (and sponsor a bunch of them too like Scala eXchange) then summarise the agenda to discuss new ideas internally and learnt from them.
