The Role

As an Engineer 2 you will actively contribute to planning of work and the development of features, helping to define the features and approach to delivering them. You will proactively pick up complex features, seeking guidance and support when needed to complete them, and be comfortable architecting and delivering simple features in new contexts.

You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of technologies and will need to be comfortable doing so. Our teams have used Ruby with Rails and Sinatra, ES6 with React and Angular, C# with .NET Core, Java with Spring, Python with Django, and plenty more stacks. We don’t limit ourselves as a company to particular technologies and we expect all our engineers to be keen on learning new skills.

High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. We grow a team of language agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, declarative, event-based and aspect-oriented. You will need to be comfortable sharing your knowledge and skills with others, and be willing to learn new technologies and skills.

Requirements

In this role, you will be empowered to:

• Write code with test-driven development
• Deliver within an agile environment
• Work with a variety of programming languages (right tool for the job mentality)
• Work with databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB)
• Work with (and learn around) cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP and/or Azure
• Debug in a range of systems
• Work on your own self-development – we value keen learners
• Have the drive to deliver outcomes for users
