The Role

We are looking for highly talented and driven software engineers who take pride in their work, to expand our Engineering team. Successful candidates will join a cross-functional team, including product managers and designers working closely with the rest of our business to deliver working code that solves real problems for both internal and external customers. You will solve challenging problems, ensuring a high level of quality in everything that we release, working as part of a top performing international development team, and having great career progressing opportunity. If you have a strong passion for solving problems with code, and want to work with exceptional colleagues in a high-achievement environment, this role is a good fit for you.

What You’ll Do

• Design solutions: Define the best technical solutions to business problems, contributing to an architectural vision that will scale up to be the world's leading research platform.
• Ship working code: We primarily work with React and NextJS on the front end and Kotlin microservices with Postgres on the backend, with some older services written in Ruby on Rails. We’ve always got an eye open to assess new technologies that might improve our stack.
• Deploy and iterate: We release frequently to our customers, using CIrcleCI and Spinnaker for CI/CD, and quickly gather feedback in order to inform our next iteration.
• Build your competency: You will learn quickly by building market-leading technology with experienced colleagues in a high performance environment. Engineers can also use our L&D budget to fast-track development of specific technical competencies.
• Maintenance and troubleshooting: Carefully monitor our services, catching errors before users notice them, diagnosing the root cause and deploying fixes.
  

Who You Are

• High-achieving recent graduate with a degree in a STEM subject, but we’re happy to work with people who perfected their craft via a different route.
• Proven track record – you have clear accomplishments both in and out of university, standing out from your peers.
• Technical familiarity with Frontend: at least one Frontend framework, ideally React. Backend: at least one programming language (we use Kotlin and a bit of Ruby), and ideally experience with relational databases.
• Highly driven and proactive – you relentlessly and independently push through hurdles and drive towards excellent outcomes.
• Meticulous – you hold high standards and have an obsessive attention to detail.
