Looking for an exciting opportunity to influence the development and deployment platform of a quickly growing start-up?
Become part of our technical operations team and help shape our practices, platform and culture from the very beginning.
Who we are
We’re
an ambitious team with big plans. Our goal is to be one of the defining
tech companies of our generation by using technology to rebuild the
process of selling a house from the ground up.
To us it seems
unfair that people’s biggest asset is also the least liquid. Our vision
is to allow every UK home-owner to get a fair offer on their house in
minutes.
We have previously founded GoCardless and Songkick, are
already on a faster growth trajectory than both, having raised just shy
of £50 million from Europe’s leading VCs and entrepreneurs.
Having
done it before, we know what it takes to be successful. We’re looking
for people, excited to build something that matters.
The role
- Work as part of an agile engineering team that embraces collaborative working.
- Develop and support our core hosting platform based on Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, CircleCI and more.
- Develop tooling for enhancing our developers lives and happiness.
- Work on reporting and alerting metrics via dashboards etc.
- Dabble in new tech to help push the boundaries of what we’re building.
- Get in at the early stages of our move to container based deployments.
- Work with these fine folk to help build a great team
