About you You’ll have excellent communication skills and prior experience of working in a cross-functional team. Experience of working in a start-up or scale-up would be a huge bonus, ideally having done so in a collaborative team. They’re huge on collaboration here!

You’ll also need experience with most of the following stack: Java, SpringBoot, MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, Redis, Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS services. You’d get a salary of up to £85K, along with 25 days holiday. The role Prior leadership experience isn’t a necessity here, though you would need to have mentored engineers in the past. The team you’d be joining currently has 4 backend engineers, plus both a UX and a UI developer. You’d have a very active role in operating the cloud infrastructure and deploying new software using DevOps processes and tools, whilst also contributing to best practices among the wider team by facilitating collaboration, and mentoring and motivating. You’d have the opportunity to specify and implement new features as well as take the lead on recommending and introducing tools that you believe will be of value. What’s the process? It’s three stages – an initial welcome call to find a little more out about them and for them to find out a little more about you. They’ll then progress to a technical test before a more in-depth technical interview, hopefully followed by an offer! If you’re keen to discuss in more detail please reach out to [email protected].
