Job Description

DESCRIPTION
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial hands-on VP of Engineering to join our fast-growing team here in East London. Working alongside Alex, our founder and CEO, you will be instrumental in taking the business to the next stage: defining & leading our operational platform for many years to come.

You’ll have a strong software engineering background, be technically capable but also be able to take ownership of a product delivery pipeline and help us achieve our aims. It’s important you empathise with our users and their product requirements.

You will work with a variety of business representatives and stakeholders to define requirements and take the lead on operational and technical projects. We already work to agile principles but are looking for someone who can get their arms around a really dynamic and fast paced product development pipeline as we grow.

We believe in behaving with agility and hope that you will too. We’d love it if you were naturally collaborative, willing to work with people from across the business to find solutions. You should of course have excellent organization and problem-solving skills. If you also have a passion for software development and agile methodologies, we’d like to meet you.

Our stack is PHP with Symphony, frontend is React and infrastructure is all on AWS.
