Your location:

We are looking for applications from UK or European-based candidates who wish to work primarily remotely, with occasional travel to London (2-4 times a year).

We believe in the benefits of working remotely and also value a sense of shared mission and personal community, which benefits from sometimes getting together. If your circumstances don’t perfectly align with this, we are flexible to discuss.

This is a full-time, permanent role. If you are based outside of the UK, you will be employed through our EOR, Remote.

About the role:

You will be working on the customer-facing parts of our platform which will be used by a wide range of customers, from startups through to large enterprises. The backend of the application is written in Django, and React is used on the client side. We use Tailwind for our CSS. We document our shared components in Storybook. We do unit and functional testing using Jest, React Testing Library and Enzyme. We use React Query for data fetching. We also build various dashboards to show the impact and metrics of testing and use Highcharts for data visualisation. We use Figma to transform UX/UI design to functional React components.

The app has a Django backend, which communicates with the rest of the platform via APIs to a set of microservices.

We are a small engineering team, with a senior developer already leading the backend development of our Django app. We are now looking for someone to work with them on the frontend aspects as we scale up our efforts. 

You will work closely with the rest of the engineering team and will have input into technology and infrastructure decisions. The engineering team is a small team of ten engineers and a product owner, and we enjoy supporting and learning from one another. We will help you get up to speed with our codebase and support you in learning any new skills you need to excel at your work.

Our interview process:

The interview process will include a short qualification call followed by 2 remote video interviews with different team members. We may ask you to complete a short technical task between the interview rounds.

We are committed to building a diverse team, as we believe this is a necessary component to building the strongest company possible. To this end, one of the steps we have taken is committing to an annual report assessing how we are doing on this front - all of these reports can be seen here. We are committed not only to meeting our legal obligations in this area, but also to the positive promotion of diversity in our teams.
