Were on an exciting journey here at Spirable - come be part of it!

Responsibilities:

  • Youll be in charge of planning, managing and delivering updated product features in a fast-paced startup environment where things can change very quickly!
  • You will participate and have a key say in product development discussion and planning
  • Performing code review, testing and approval
  • This is very much a mature and self-starting environment, and youll be carrying out complex tasks without being micro-managed. You will have to manage multiple complex and time-critical projects concurrently
  • Youll have a major contribution towards building a sustainable and scalable hardware and software architecture
  • Were self-starting but we work together so youll be collaborating with the front-end team to build a world-class platform
  • Were not a big team at this point so youll be required to muck in elsewhere, such as assisting with operations, monitoring and automation alongside developing new features
  • Youll be helping to build our engineering culture, so mentoring junior developers and promoting software development best practices will form a big part of that.

Requirements:

  • Youll need to demonstrate a commercial software engineering background. Ideally youll be a Python specialist but if youve got experience with other similar programming languages wed still be interested in hearing from you
  • Proven experience with a web framework, e.g. Django / Flask or Rails
  • Youll be able to demonstrate an understanding of software design principles and development life cycle
  • Competency in writing unit tests and code review
  • It would be great if you have sound knowledge of modern front-end development, particularly HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript / jQuery / Angular, AJAX, REST APIs and JSON
  • Proficient with Unix command line tools and comfortable writing shell scripts
  • Any experience you have deploying to, provisioning and managing cloud-based environments and containers will be a plus
  • Were a small but growing and very collaborative team so excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, as well as the capability to reach out to both technical and non-technical audiences are very useful!
  • We need you to have a positive attitude and be passionate about building something great; youll be happy to, and be encouraged to, take the initiative when necessary.
