The role:
To support this growth, we’re looking for an experienced and hugely talented Senior Software Engineer to help us take our technology platform to the next level. As a Senior Software Engineer at Gousto, you’ll be working closely with other senior members of the Engineering team to help shape our architecture, our engineering processes and help to build a massively talented engineering team.
Our ideal candidate will have demonstrated an ability to apply their broad and deep technical skills within a commercial setting and will always be striving to solve real business problems using the most elegant technical solutions. We want someone with proven technical leadership skills and a solid understanding of what it takes to design and deliver scalable, elegant, cloud based systems in a highly available manner.
Most of all you’ll be passionate about making Gousto a success.
REQUIREMENTS
Key Responsibilities
Leading our migration to React – We truly believe that frontend development is as much of an engineering discipline as any other. We dislike "hacky" HTML with a bit of JQuery. We prefer a well structured frontend application making use of React, Redux and other libraries in the React eco system. We're part way through migrating to this new architecture and we’re looking for someone that can help us continue this journey.
Continuing to evolve our Agile development process – We use Scrum, we like it and we believe it aligns with Gousto’s delivery led culture. However, we also understand that our processes aren’t perfect and need to evolve as we grow. We’re looking for someone who’s seen Agile delivered in complex engineering environments across multiple teams.
Help to “Raise the Bar” – We believe that one of the most important things our senior engineers do is educate the more junior members of the team. We’re looking for an Engineer that can bring new and innovative engineering practices into the team, someone who is willing to help educate and help to improve what we do on a daily basis.
Obsessing over quality & performance – As one of our most senior engineers you should obsess over the quality of what the team delivers. Whether that be the quality and maintainability of our code or making sure we identify and squash every bug out there. We’re also an e-commerce business, we understand that every millisecond counts when it comes to page speed and we want you to help us make our site fly!
Building a world class engineering team – We are just at the beginning of our journey and will be looking to significantly invest in engineering talent going forwards. Helping to build a truly great team of engineers will be a hugely important part of what you do.
