  • Mentor junior members of the team and help to drive their development.
  • Contribute to internal tooling that the wider GCP team builds and maintains

Key Skills:

  • Commercial experience programming in Javascript / Typescript / NodeJS and at least one other language; for example, Python, Java, Go, C#.
  • Experience developing against a common framework, such as Angular, Django, Spring, Vue, React, etc. (Angular Preferred).
  • Experience delivering responsive web front ends with HTML5 / CSS3.
  • An understanding of modern software patterns and methodologies such as Twelve-Factor, Progressive Apps, Single Page Apps, Observables, etc.
  • Ability to write queries against common Databases - MySQL, PostgreSQL etc.
  • Experience developing Cloud-Native applications on Public Cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Azure) utilising tools such as Cloud Functions / Cloud Run / GKE (or AWS or Azure Equivalent).
  • Comfortable developing with Docker.
  • Experience following TDD best-practice and utilising frameworks such as Mocha, Jest, Jasmine etc.
  • Understanding of the use of modern transport protocols such as GRPC and HTTP2.
  • Experience building, consuming and integrating with REST APIs.
  • Self starter, able to build software from a blank sheet.

Desirable Skills:

  • Experience with Google Firebase.
  • Use of NoSQL technologies in a commercial environment.
  • Google Certified Professional Developer.
  • Experience working in an Agile team.
  • Time spent in a professional services or consultancy role.

Location:

This role can be based from our office in Manchester, Edinburgh, Utrecht, or you could be fully remote based if that is your preference. You could split your time between the offices and your own home if that works best for you.

What you’ll get:

In addition to the competitive salary, you’ll get private health insurance and company contributed pensions as standard.

We have a multitude of other benefits, including a market leading parental leave policies, health & wellbeing initiatives and access to a discounts and rewards programme (including discounted gym membership).
