Intermediate Software Engineer

Job Description

📍Based 2 days a week at our office in Sheffield (Kelham Island), the other 3 days are up to you!

Our mission:

• One in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world 🌎
• We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, landlord and tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution 🏠
• Vouch (part of the GL group) uses the latest technology to provide a full reference in a user-friendly way, making it more efficient and less stressful for tenants ❤️

The Opportunity:

You’ll -

• work with your squad to deliver features
• spend time reviewing the code of your colleagues
• be paired with senior engineers to spec and develop more complex features
• be identifying and fixing small issues
• focus on either frontend or backend but will at times be working across both (we will teach you what you don’t know and even what you don’t know you don't know!)

What we need from you:

• You are comfortable using a JavaScript frontend framework OR developing in PHP with experience using a modern MVC framework
• You have experience working with relational databases
• You know the different types of testing and are comfortable writing unit tests
• You have strong knowledge of web application security and how to guard against common vulnerabilities

What's in it for you:

• 🚀 Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
• 💕 Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health
• 🌴 Unlimited holiday and flexible time off (subject to passing probation & fair usage policies): we encourage Goodlordians to make use of their unlimited time off to enjoy the world, recharge, and reboot. We also offer time off for volunteering and training, so you can give back to the community and pursue your passions
• 🤗 Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals
