We work across many different industries from financial services to government

With our white-label Saas solution, we are able to provide Networks, Communities, Organizations and Ecosystems of all sizes a digital home that adds real value.

What does the StellarUp Product team do?

StellarUp is a rapidly growing Saas solution offering a digital home for any organisation building an Ecosystem of learning and development. Our solution is built in Ruby on Rails, and our team currently consists of the CTPO, a data scientist and a small team of developers. It's now time to grow further! As the next developer to join the team, you will head straight into the production of integrations and modules, and from there take increasing ownership of the codebase, providing technical support for existing users in conjunction with our Customer Success team. You will also help to define development processes and the build strategy moving forward. Plenty of development work keeps you busy as we build towards a v2 product.

• Strong jQuery and vanilla Javascript

• Development knowledge of MySQL – our CTPO will act as DBA for now

• Of course, you’ll need a working knowledge of HTML, CSS

• We host everything in AWS so an understanding of EC2 and S3 will be advantageous
