IntaPeople are supporting a late stage scale up based in central Cardiff who are on the lookout for an experienced tech agnostic Software Engineer to join their core technology team as a Technical Lead Engineer.
This is an excellent opportunity for Senior/Lead Software Engineers looking for the next step in their career – the company are ‘tech first’ and the engineering team believe in using the right tool for the right job.
We want to speak to engineers who can work with feature development through the full lifecycle: from requirements gathering, specification and prototyping through to deployment and ongoing iteration. Just as importantly we want to speak to people who are fast learners who will thrive in a rapidly evolving startup with continuous delivery and fortnightly product releases.
You shouldn’t be dependent on a single technology or language, and are comfortable using the best tool for the job. Ideally, it’s JavaScript and web technologies, with advanced knowledge of at least one server-side language like PHP or Nodejs. The engineering team are reliant on Amazon Web Service and are always taking advantage of it’s for ever growing features. Whilst you don’t need to be highly experienced on this cloud platform, a basic understanding will be required.
The company use agile delivery models with modern software development techniques including iterative development, test automation, continuous integration and automated infrastructure - There’s no trace of complicated, legacy infrastructure hold-backs here!
Knowledge of MongoDB, Elasticsearch, cross-platform Electron apps would be a plus but not essential. The teams use a few notable frameworks such as Backbone, AngularJS and ReactJS however have also started to incorporate Web Components to make code modular in a framework-agnostic manner.
We’re looking for software engineers seeking excellence to contribute to the design and development of some of the most challenging projects around, however what will you get?!
The unlimited holiday / flexible work from home option probably brought you into the advert and if you got this far congrats! In a nutshell it’s a common-sense approach - wherever possible they allow you to determine your own schedule and work environment.
Whether you need to finish early for leisure, shorten your commute during the week, provide regular or ad hoc child care, or simply prefer a productive morning working from home, their flexible working policy enables this!
The same goes for the leave as they actively encourage breaks they just ask you to be communicative and considerate of each other when doing so, and conscious about accountability and the impact on the team
