- * We are looking for a new team member who has the seniority to demonstrate a good understanding of their real strengths, and a strong desire to learn and improve elsewhere, who can challenge other team members to build the most relevant technical designs, and write the most appropriate code. * You can immediately contribute to our front-end/SPA with React and Typescript; and bring great experience of Node with NestJS, GraphQL and Postgres for our back-end * You enjoy and really understand Object Oriented Programming (SOLID, DI, Domain-Driven Design) * While you are self-starting, and entrepreneurial, you derive your energy from working in a team, and mentoring other team members * And finally, you care about what it is we are building: creating in-store eCommerce to help bricks and mortar retailers extend a diverse and thriving high street
Responsibilities:
- * You will be a founding member of the engineering team, initially working with 2 senior full-stack engineering colleagues (8 years experience, MSc and PhD) and a UX designer * You will be working as a unit to iteratively deliver a groundbreaking experience for bringing the advantages of an online experience into physical retail stores * You will initially be building on the Shopify platform, and then expanding to other eComm solutions such as Woo, Wix and Magento * The code you are writing will become the foundation of years of activity and will be used by 10s of thousands of businesses * So while you need to be fast and efficient, there is no room for quick hacks and approximate work-arounds - you need to be confident you are coding to a quality that will withstand time and allow for a growing team to work off this code base
We are here to help save independent retailers, and through this create diversity in high streets and communities. By creating In-store eCommerce we will ensure that the experience these retailers deliver to their customers is always better than what they would have found online. Our solution is in private release with pilot retailers, and we are building towards public release end of summer.
Our culture is built around 5 values that the founding team have developed over years of working together in other environments
* Simplify - Focus our solution on what matters, remove the rest so that we can genuinely make the best bits outstanding. * Care - Only hand team members, partners or customers work of the very best quality; care about our impact and community, look out for those around us * Dare - Go beyond your comfort zone, even if it means risking mistakes. Reach for the outstanding * Learn, always. Make mistakes, but not twice. Find ways of doing things better, or faster, or less painfully. Feel excited by feeling you are growing. * Wow - Amaze customers, friends, colleagues by the quality of our work and the results it provides
