Working within one of our agile Engineering teams, this role reports to a Lead Engineer. You will be working closely with your team members to write SOLID, secure & well-tested code, implement new features and maintain our award-winning affiliate marketing platform.

As a Junior Engineer, you are a passionate and innovative technologist with a proactive, quality first approach to development. You are able to learn quickly and work on tasks efficiently with support from Senior Engineers within an interactive and fun development environment.

The Floating Team comes with a mission to supplement the Service Oriented Teams (SOT) where there is a lack of capacity to work on strategic business priorities. The team is cross-functional, has great technical expertise and a holistic platform overview.

The Floating Team supports the SOTs using end to end development of features and brings in best practices with testing & documentation - focusing on creating a smooth developer experience for the SOTs. We work with an exciting mixture of technologies including Java, NodeJS, Angular, AWS, Kafka, Jenkins, Micro-services with Docker & REST.
