Software Engineer

Job Description

Hello, we’re ScreenCloud!
Founded in 2015 and with 10,000+ customers around the globe, ScreenCloud is a cloud-based SaaS company, employing over 100 people in our Bangkok, Belfast, LA, Charlotte and London hubs.
At ScreenCloud, we’re hard at work helping businesses to make stronger connections at scale, and with those who are most important to them; their employees & their customers. By using the screens on their walls & the content in their systems, we enable the sales, productivity & engagement that keep our customers’ businesses thriving.
We’re very proud of our product and we’re also incredibly proud of our people. It’s our ‘ScreenClouders’ and the culture they nurture that will take us where other companies just can’t go. So if you’re someone looking to join a team of talented individuals, apply below!
The Role
ScreenCloud apps work just like your phone’s apps, but for the TV. We have over 70 apps to date, ranging from Instagram and Facebook, to live streaming, menu boards and calendar apps. As a Software Engineer in the Apps team you will help develop new apps, and build new features on current apps.
You’ll be part of a team wholly responsible for each project it takes on, meaning Product/Design/Dev/QA all in the one team, with full power to shape its project. And of course being a product for TV screens, the end result is also a super visual experience that will keep a curious technical mind engaged for a long time to come.

Responsibilities

• Build and deliver the APIs and infrastructure that powers our whole app catalogue, including brand new apps you help design from scratch
• Develop in TypeScript on Node and deploy to AWS, primarily with serverless tech like Lambda, DynamoDB and API Gateway
• Become a core member of the Apps group, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company, and even our customers themselves, to build their own ScreenCloud apps
• Run your work on a variety of devices, from simple Firesticks through to our own ScreenCloud OS hardware, and from 9 inch iPads up to 65" smart TVs
• Push us to experiment and try new techniques to constantly improve the quality of the apps we build (We're particularly interested in approaches to make monitoring effortless and maximise reliability)
• Collaborate with designers, testers and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect
• Get stuck in with us on prototypes and MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital screens next. Then help get the best of these into the hands of real customers of course

Requirements

• You have experience building REST or GraphQL services, and considering how your API choices impact the clients that call them
• You’re happy to work in a typed language like TypeScript, or you’ve worked with un-typed web languages like JavaScript or Ruby in the past and are keen to see what the TypeScript fuss is all about!
• You might have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past, or you’re keen to learn more of how the platform itself can become a key part of the product
• You work best in small teams and deliver the highest quality code when you’re surrounded by great people. And in return, you share your own learnings with the team to help us always improve

Bonus Skills

• APIs built in any modern framework, whether that’s Node with tools like Express or NestJS, or one of the many MVC flavour of frameworks in .NET/Rails/Java etc
• Working on modern webapps, built with tools like React or Angular
• NoSQL experience with services like DynamoDB, or MongoDB
• Database design with query and performance optimisation
• End to end testing with tools like Cypress, Playwright or Selenium
• Improving build and deploy tooling for reliability and performance
