Our in-house technology stack is almost all JavaScript/TypeScript based so you must have mastered JS on both backend and frontend. Our services are cloud based and served from AWS, our platform architecture and services are distributed across:

• NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis for our API backend
• React and Angular web applications for internal tools and consumer facing services
• Capacitor mobile app for iOS and Android
• We also work with a range of third party service providers to provide tools and services via APIs and automations.

As a full stack developer, you can expect to work on projects covering any aspect of our systems so be open to learn and share your knowledge! You’ll be contributing quickly and significantly to our development sprints, working on new features and resolving issues across the platform as needed.

You’ll also participate in architecture, design and estimation sessions, brainstorming solutions and approaches to business problems.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to provide high quality technology solutions efficiently, that make a real difference to us and our members. As a senior member of the team you’ll be expected to lead projects, and provide training and mentorship for the more junior members of the team.

Responsibilities

• Seeking out and creating clarity in technical design.

About you

• We’d like you to be a solution oriented developer who enjoys problem solving and being an active contributor to challenge thinking and approaches.

• You’ll be joining a small team working fully remotely so you’ll need to be comfortable working independently, able to self-organise and be disciplined in your working practices.

• It can be hard to work remotely, so you’ll need to be committed to great communication, willing to suggest and make changes and improvements that make you and the team better every day.

Experience and Requirements

• You must have at least 4 years of commercial experience as a developer and be able to demonstrate professional competence with:
• Writing full stack JavaScript/TypeScript applications and services. From frontend websites and mobile apps, to backend services and tooling.

• One or more database technologies - SQL or NoSQL (MongoDB would be a plus)
• Containerisation with Docker
• CI/CD (Experience with GitHub would be a plus)
• Exploring, documenting, and testing APIs
• Although we have team members all over the world, English is the company’s first language, so you must have good conversational and technical spoken and written English language skills.

We’d like it if you also have some of the following:

• Experience with mobile app development and deployment (experience with Capacitor/Cordova/PhoneGap would be a plus)
• Experience using Terraform to manage infrastructure.
• Can show you have a passion for code and technology e.g. contributing to open source projects, or work on personal projects.
