We’re looking for someone who has strong skills in data structures, ingestion, and transformation.
Our microservices are all in Google Cloud, riding a mixture of Kubernetes and Cloud Run. Our technical stack for the successful person’s team is:
- Typescript
- React
- Express & TypeORM
- GraphQL/REST
- PostgreSQL & MongoDB
We acknowledge that you may not have experience in these exact technologies, where you can show you have transferrable skills at the level we need e.g., strong MSSQL experience which can transfer to PostgreSQL will still be shortlisted.
This is a great opportunity to join an amazing business at an exciting time in our development, with recent investments enabling a platform for significant future growth. As part of the Software team, you will need the confidence and ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders at a technical level. You will also need to mentor junior developers and work within an agile environment.
What we’ll be asking you to do…
You will be responsible for the development and delivery of the code base across multiple applications. This role will see you supporting end-to-end IT solutions that enable Sero to manage customer interactions. We will also be involving you in the development of new tooling portfolios supporting carbon neutrality, energy optimisation and predictive modelling. Your scope will cover the full stack and your responsibilities, outside of delivering clean, good quality and secure code, will include:
- Collaborating on the design of features to ensure we build the right solution
- Interpreting user stories and working with the scrum team to turn these into deliverable tasks
- Adopting and driving CI/CD into our delivery cycles
- Writing unit, component, integration, and acceptance tests
- Gaining a deep understanding of the Sero architecture and tool integration points
What we would like from you (please!) …
To be successful in this role straight away you will need to have:
- Several years’ experience as a Software Engineer or Developer
- Strong capability to work in a team; this would look like collaboration, written and oral communication and ownership skills
- Experience with Typescript; building full stack applications
- A deep understanding of relational and non-relational data stores
- Experience working with cloud platforms
It would also be nice if you have experience with the following (but don’t worry if you haven’t, we are happy to provide development opportunities):
- Experience using Kubernetes in a microservice environment
- Knowledge of designing and implementing CI/CD
- Awareness of Agile principles and the benefits of differing methodologies
- Experience working in a DevOps or DevSecOps environment is also useful
- Experience in mentoring other Software Engineers would be helpful
