About the role

We're looking for a talented, aspiring engineer who's interested in using their skills to develop mobile apps using our sophisticated internal tooling. The tooling is designed to maximise the efficiency of developing mobile apps by eliminating laborious tasks, which is common in other frameworks.

The role is ideal for a graduate or junior candidate who has excellent programming ability but lacks industry experience, as it will expose them to a modern, agile team and many facets of engineering (web, iOS, Android, infrastructure etc).

Equally, if you have more experience but are looking for a remote role where you can work on projects for world-renowned brands as part of a talented team — this could be for a great fit for you.

About you:

• You are confident in using event-driven programming in TypeScript
• You have some experience in the use of advanced types (generics/unions/etc.)
• You have the ability to use functional programming concepts confidently
• You have the ability to write clean, well-documented code
• You can think of and form abstractions, solve complex problems and have critical thinking skills
• You have a keen eye for detail, accurately transforming designs into working UIs

Your responsibilities:

• Recreating professionally designed user interfaces in a GUI editor
• Writing inline expressions inside the GUI editor to describe dynamic components
• Writing modern, strict TypeScript to perform logic not otherwise possible in the GUI tooling
• Maintaining our existing apps by improving performance and fixing bugs as necessary
• Collaborating on the design of new app and platform features
• Helping to improve the next version of the tooling
• Developing mobile apps which are used by millions of people each year!

Benefits

• 💰 Competitive salary: ranging from £30,000 to £60,000, depending on your experience.
• 🏠 Remote-first: Work in a way that supports your needs and your life, with no requirement to come to an office.
• 🤸 Flexible hours: Tailor your work schedule to fit your around your personal life and commitments.
• 🧠 Personal development: We value continuous learning and offer development budgets to help you grow.
• 🌴 Holiday allowance: Everyone needs a break, so enjoy a minimum of 33 days off (including UK bank holidays).
• 🏦 Flexi bank holidays: We understand that not everyone aligns with the same calendar, so you can take your bank holiday allowance on days that suit you.
• 🍼 Parenthood: We offer enhanced parental leave, phased returns to work and flexible hours for parents.
• 🪴 Remote budget: We offer a yearly remote budget of £300 to help you enhance your home office and look after your well-being.
• 🖥️ High-end equipment: We'll provide the very best tech to help you do your job, including a MacBook and any peripherals you need.
• 🎢 In-person socials: We meet bi-annually at our customers' attractions to share business updates and have some serious fun.
