Our Development Culture

• We work in a product-focused agile environment, utilising scrum methodology.
• Every team member is involved in sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospective ceremonies. Our development process favours pair-programming, code reviews, automated testing and frequent collaboration. We prioritise clean code over over-engineering.
• You will be hands on with a roughly 70/30 split for technical implementation and team lead duties and you will directly line-manage up to 3 developers while contributing to the team as part of a product triad.
• Current tech stack includes MySql/PostgreSQL/DynamoDB (databases), Ruby-on-Rails and PHP (Symphony) backend API, VueJs/TypeScript (front end), Python, NodeJS (AWS Lambdas), GitHub, Semaphore (CI) and GitHub Actions, Heroku and Cypress (testing/staging).
• We work with multiple languages and technologies; these are tools to deliver the best experience and value to our users.
• We are encouraged to learn and supported with learning options such as books, online courses, certifications and more.
• We aim to be truly full-stack, covering database, back-end and front-end development. Depending on experience, responsibilities may include AWS infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD.
• Our systems handle thousands of requests per minute with databases containing hundreds of millions of records, so we design for scalability and manage caches and third-party integrations.
• There are opportunities to grow as a well-rounded developer, including requirements gathering, project management, and research.
• We are fully equipped to work remotely with an expectation to come to the office once or twice a month to exchange ideas and knowledge.
