Job Description:

We’re looking for a full-stack Software Developer with experience working in a multi-disciplinary team. Working closely with other developers, you’ll help build our platform in a robust, scalable way, delivering the best service for our clients, including some of the biggest advertisers in the world.

The ideal candidate will look forward to working in a smaller, more dynamic team, and be able to take ownership of projects within the product roadmap. Ideally, you will have the following qualifications:

• 3-5+ years’ experience in a software developer role
• Full-stack experience, including an OOP language and a JavaScript frontend framework
• Experience working in a sprint-based development team.
• Experience peer-reviewing code.

We’re a cloud-first team, with a big emphasis on autonomy and personal development. We’re scaling rapidly within the business, so as well as writing high-quality code, you’ll be able to contribute to the wider development lifecycle, architecture and processes. Our product is built entirely on Google Cloud, so you’ll need to become comfortable developing for this environment. We use the following languages, frameworks and technologies:

• Backend services: .NET (C#)
• Frontend development: ReactJS
• Data storage: MySQL, GCP Firestore, GCP BigQuery, GCP storage budgets
• Hosting: GCP Cloud Run (with Docker), GCP Cloud Functions
• Testing : XUnit (C#), Mocha & Chai (TypeScript), Cypress (frontend)
• Data and event pipelines: GCP Cloud Tasks, GCP Cloud Scheduler, GCP PubSub

Don’t worry if you don’t have experience in all of the above, a willingness to learn is what we’re looking for. The key for us is experience with OOP and a JavaScript frontend framework.
