Job Description

About Us

We’re big believers in autonomous teams and iterative development. We’re crazy about continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, and we want people who share our enthusiasm.

We strive to always build the right thing and build the thing right, so we place great emphasis on code quality and testability, test driving, continuously integrating and pairing as we go. 

We think functional programming and event sourcing are a great fit for Foundry, and use them as best we can, but we’re not dogmatic about it.

We make designing the product everyone’s business - what we are going to do and how we do it are team decisions. And we focus on meeting exactly what the customer needs now, always aiming to build the minimum lovable product.

We strongly believe that you grow a system, rather than build it, so our architecture and infrastructure is designed to allow us to roll small bits of code to production really fast. And really often.

We build our platform with tech like:

- React, React Native, JavaScript (with a heavy focus on TypeScript), Node, HTML, CSS

- GraphQL based APIs - we use Apollo on the client side

- Cloud deployments - GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Concourse, CircleCI

- Observability - Sentry

About You

We are looking for skilled Frontend engineers to help build Foundry.  You’ll be a key player in our team, building out new products and features of the frontend platform, which includes various react web apps and a native app (built in React Native). We choose a strongly typed approach to building our front end applications, so experience with TypeScript is great to have.

Building high performance, scalable, available, fault tolerant systems is a team game and so we want to know that you play well with others. Lone geniuses are brilliant - just not for us. 

As a Senior React Native engineer your role will include:

- Build, test, deploy and own TypeScript web and native applications as part of a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional team.

- Iterating on our existing internal design system, building testable and reusable components to use across our web and native products.

- Fully test your applications using unit, integration and e2e testing.

- Participate in regular showcases of new work to the product owners and other business stakeholders.

- Contribute to your team via pair programming, code reviews, knowledge sharing and demonstrations.

Key Requirements

  • Experience with some or all of the technologies in our platform or equivalents
  • Strong TypeScript experience
  • Background and/or enthusiasm for the ways we work:
  • Test Driven Development - we use jest and react-testing-library across our codebase
  • Build automation, continuous integration and continuous deployment to production systems
  • Agile/iterative development processes
  • Shared code ownership & cross-functional teams
  • Collaborative design and development
  • Pair programming
  • It would be a bonus if you have experience with:
  • Full-stack development inc. Scala
  • Experience with Swift / C++ for native app development
  • Experience working on server-side applications with Node
  • Financial Services

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options 11:FS provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure 11:FS is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
