Job description
- You'll build a SaaS application using cutting edge technology (React, Rust & TypeScript), and you'll be hands-on with everything adjacent to that, from cloud deployment to system architecture.
- You'll work across the stack - joining us early means you'll be involved in every aspect of the product, from front-end and back-end development to speaking with users and building demos for the sales team.
- You'll influence what we build together, not just how we build it - you'll decide where we should focus our efforts to deliver the most value for our customers and lay a solid foundation for the product and the business in the future.
- You'll work alongside engineers with previous experience building and scaling a B2B SaaS product from zero to exit.
Requirements
- Is motivated by making a difference for customers, and by building something that solves real problems for real people.
- Thrives in a fast-paced, less structured operating environment - you're confident in your ability to decide what to work on at any given moment.
- Care about building high quality software, and have strong opinions on how to do that. You understand the trade-offs between doing things 'right' and doing things 'at the right time' in a growing business.
- Is comfortable working on the backend or the frontend, building 'both sides' of a feature - even if you have a preference for one or the other.
- Has 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering, building customer-facing applications where you spoke directly to users.
- Can demonstrate proficiency using Rust in a professional or open-source context.
- Is able to spend at least 2 days (Monday + Tuesday) per week at our office in Central London.
Benefits & conditions
- £70-90k salary depending on your experience.
- We think you should choose how to spend your comp, not us! We prioritise your base salary over expensive benefits.
- Every role comes with generous equity options.
- 33 days of annual leave per year.
- This includes public holidays (you are free to take them on public holidays or not).
- Currently, the first Friday of every month is a company-wide day off, which doesn't eat up your leave allowance. Just promise to post your bungee-jumping selfies on #random., + Everybody attends our Central London office on Mondays and Tuesdays, unless it's a day off! It's really important for us to have this time together, face-to-face.
- You can choose to work from home or attend the office on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
- What are the working hours like?
- We believe that we get the best results in the long term by keeping things sustainable. Problem solving and relationship building works better when you're feeling fresh!
- Aim for 9am-6pm with flexibility when you need it. Sometimes we'll have to work late or on a weekend to meet a deadline, but this is the exception and not the norm.
- We expect you to use up your annual leave allowance in full and encourage you to make best use of the monthly Friday off! (see Benefits…)
- Where is the office?
- The office is currently located next to Victoria station in London.
- If we move to a new office, it will be in Central London and near a public transport hub.
- Do you have company socials?
- We have a social every month on an office Tuesday.
- There's a generous budget so we can enjoy an activity or go for a nice meal.
- What is your tech stack?
- We're using React & TypeScript on the frontend, and Rust on the backend - everything is hosted on Google Cloud, and we're all-in on Postgres.
