Values we live by

• Better people build better companies
• Whole arse it, with ruthless pragmatism
• Help the customer win (We’ll tell you more about these as discussions progress)

Our Product-Led strategy

We’re Founded by Developers and Designers (as well as domain experts) - technical excellence is in our DNA. This means:

• We spend time up front properly designing new work, testing with customers etc, whilst solving fun technical problems.
• We continually invest in testing/quality - we’ve written 10,000+ automated tests in the last 2 years, we're huge advocates for static analysis & type safety, and our infrastructure is automated with Terraform.
• Our entire team (including our CEO) is bought into this mindset, as we're reaping the rewards of shipping quality code, avoiding re-work & moving fast as a team.

In addition to building/shipping/maintaining the product, you will provide feedback and direction during the shaping and design processes of new features/changes with the entire team (dev, design, product lead, users), work closely/collaboratively and solve problems with the others in the dev team including mentoring junior developers.

Our Tech Stack

• Backend is Symfony 6 + PHP 8
• Frontend is 100% Typescript + Aurelia
• Some AWS Lambda functions written in Typescript
• Dozens of different testing, code quality and static analysis tools
• Infrastructure is managed with Terraform on top of AWS

You don't need experience in all of these technologies to succeed - we look for learning mindsets and an interest in working in this stack.

You’re ideal for the role if you have…

• 5+ years as a software engineer > ideally in a SaaS product
• Product quality focus > skilled in test-driven development and enthusiastic about tackling complex technical challenges
• Modern frameworks > Experience/familiarity with modern Javascript/TypeScript frameworks (Vue / React / Angular / Aurelia) and/or modern PHP (Symfony / Laravel / CodeIgniter)
• Lead by example > whether it’s a project or team, you’ve taken initiative to define processes, lead a team as well as executing ‘on the tools’
• Problem solver > driven to understand the ‘why’ and solve meaningful user challenges
• Great communicator > you’ve worked closely with different stakeholders to define product requirements
• Accountability & sense of urgency > you’re results-obsessed & biased towards action
• A growth mindset > we’re always hungry to improve and want you to contribute to this
• Mission driven > eager to grow with a scaling business; startup experience a plus, but not essential
