Remote with 2 visits to Bristol HQ per month

Unify have proudly partnered with a rapidly expanding niche SaaS tech business who are seeking a Senior / Lead Developer to join their incredible development team.

This would suit someone with natural tendencies to big picture thinking, and solving problems holistically. So, someone sitting between teams, helping guide them within the larger model of the technology platform.

The company:

They believe in “impactful selfishness”, so the team is prioritised and valued.
As a small development of 6 engineers (with 30 in the wider team), they aim to double in size in the next year and again the following year.
As a B Corp certified company, they are committed to making a positive impact to society and the environment.
They have a flexible approach where the team is treated like adults. If you’ve got a doctor’s appointment, go for it. Need to finish early? No sweat, they’ll do their best to accommodate it.
They’re flexible with remote working with one day per fortnight in the office within walking distance of Bristol Temple Meads Train Station. This is flexible for those who live further afield.

About you:

Ideally, you have experience working in smaller teams in a fast paced, moving environment.
Your tech stack will be the MEAN stack with cloud deployments to AWS, although we are open to any front end modern JavaScript frameworks such as React. Only basic competence on the Frontend is required. If your core expertise lies on the Backend with Node then this is fine.
You will be tech agnostic; open to implementing new frameworks, AI, Machine Learning and potentially a multi-cloud environment as the company continues to scale.

About the tech:

MongoDB
Angular (or similar)
Express
Node.js
TypeScript
AWS & Heroku
BDD/end to end testing
Docker

The Benefits:

Flexible working - if you need to shift things to fit around childcare, or go to a doctor's appointment or pilates classes, we'll do our best to accommodate
28 days holiday, excluding bank holidays and a generous end of year break
On-going training and growth opportunities as the company scale rapidly
Perks: gym membership, Headspace subscription and work-related or personal growth reading/Audible budget, Cycle-to-Work
Options scheme for all full-time employees - it’s important to us that everybody owns a part of the company and shares in the benefits of what we build

They're on a mission to build a remarkable company, with remarkable people and a remarkable culture that you will want to shout from the rooftops about - in a relaxed, flexible and fun environment, the team is driven to make the business successful while enjoying what they do and who they do it with.

If this is the sort of opportunity, culture and environment that excites you then send in a copy of your latest CV for immediate review by our Talent Manager.

You will NOT regret it
