## About the Role

* You have React or React Native frontend experience, or the desire to learn it
 * You have strong experience of software development
 * You want to build features that coaches, players and parents actually use on matchday
 * You can own a feature end-to-end with light guidance
 * You have a product mindset: you're comfortable critiquing designs and understanding user journeys to help land on the best solution, not just implementing what's handed to you
 * You enjoy learning new things: we don't expect you to have every skill on day one

You don't need prior Ruby experience to apply. If you're a strong backend engineer with experience in another language (e.g. Node, Python, Java, PHP, Go), we'd love to hear from you: we'll support you in picking up Rails. (Our Platform Senior Software Engineer and Principal Software Engineer roles are the exception and do require hands-on Ruby/Rails experience.), * Take-home task or pair coding exercise

## Description

We're organised into three squads: Pitchside Experience, Clubhouse Experience and Platform. This role sits in Pitchside Experience: the squad focused on what happens matchday: team sheets, live updates and the tools coaches, players, parents use on the day.

Our engineers come from a variety of different backgrounds. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we'd love to talk to you: we do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles.

Your day-to-day

 * Own a Pitchside Experience feature end-to-end, from spec through rollout, with light oversight.
 * Write solid, well-tested code across our React Native app and web front end.
 * Debug your own issues effectively, and consider performance and error handling as you go.
 * Actively help peers, give constructive code reviews, and share context in stand-ups and docs., * We're moving to React for our web front end, but we're currently using Rails with Turbo, Hotwire and Stimulus
 * Ruby on Rails to write our API layer (there's a highly recommended Rails tutorial here)
 * Postgres for our database layer
 * Stripe to power payments: membership fees, club shop and fundraising all run through it
 * Currently our infrastructure is on Heroku, but we'll be moving off this soon: join us and help shape where
