• Agile: Test-Driven Development, collaboration and continuous delivery are your preferred engineering practices. We take the best bits of Lean, Scrum, and Kanban too.
• Architecture: In a large scale distributed web-application, you choose the right tool for the job at hand. You know when to break something out into a new component and the best way to wire it in, when to go with the simplest fit into the current system and when to rethink the existing approach.
• Experience: You are an experienced engineer, with several years working at a high level, confident working on a range of languages and frameworks and are happy to pick up new ones. You like working on established technology stacks as well as quickly changing platforms.

Location

• This is a hybrid role. Our offices are in Shoreditch, London. Currently, we are spending three days a week collaborating and socializing with our colleagues in our Shoreditch office. When we’re in the office, a light breakfast and lunch are provided, and a weekly massage. There’s a bike rack and a shower too. Shoreditch is a lively area of London - we often go out after work in one of the many bars or restaurants in the area.
