We're looking for a talented and adaptable creative Full Stack Developer to join our independent design agency in Shoreditch.
Your profile
We won't insult you with a spiel about proficiency using GitHub or programming basics. That's a given. Instead, here's an idea of the sort of developer we hope is reading this:
- Full stack: You can build complex mobile and web applications, with solid experience in iOS/Android, Angular, HTML5, CSS, Node.js, React, Python, JavaScript, and databases like MySQL.
- Adaptable: You love to learn and develop with unfamiliar technologies, swiftly picking up new languages and frameworks, be it C++, C#, or new languages like Rust.
- Innovative: You can build apps and services across multiple platforms, refine and integrate AI models, implement third-party services, write software for hardware platforms, and integrate with cloud services.
- Curious: You see opportunities where others don't. If you open doors, push buttons, and hop over gates for adventure's sake, you're our kind of developer.
- Collaborative: Our in-house digital teams work closely with our researchers, design engineers, and industrial designers, so you'll need to be London-based and ready to bring your magic to our Shoreditch studio where the real alchemy happens.
- Practical: You're comfortable with standard platforms like AWS and Azure, as well as API and communication protocols like REST, WebSockets, and WebRTC, and can deliver high quality under pressure and to tight timescales.
- Fun: We're not asking for stand-up comedy routines, but a passion for what you do is essential. We believe the best creatives genuinely enjoy their work.
Why us?
Yes, there's complimentary breakfast and an office dog (when he fancies joining us), but that's not all we have to offer. Here's what you can expect from us:
- Competitive Pay: Fair, reliable, and competitive. You also get a generous pension scheme, which you should definitely make the most of.
- Paid Holidays: 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays. And yes, we expect you to take them all.
- Parental Leave: Enhanced maternity and paternity pay. We want to support new mums and dads, not add stress.
- Health Insurance: Bupa provides private medical insurance, including 24/7 access to GPs, nurses, mental health care, and menopause support.
- Gym Membership: Get 40% off the Hussle Gym network and with provider YuLife you'll have access to mindfulness and fitness apps, plus the chance to join company-wide challenges where your competitive streak can earn you extra redeemable rewards.
- Personal Development: You'll get loads of in-house opportunities for development and training. We also love a trip to the museum, the odd industry talk, and inviting big thinkers in for fika.
- Company Socials: We throw a couple of big bashes a year and might occasionally block out the afternoon to take a pottery class or be beside the seaside.
- Complimentary Breakfast: There's toast, snacks, cereal and a pretty swanky coffee machine at your disposal. And yes, there's vegan butter, lactose-free milk, and gluten-free bread. We got you.
- Sweet Location: Shoreditch is easy to get to, has loads of good places to eat, and plenty of independent shops and market stalls. We love it here.
- Independent Studio: Native is one of the last proper indie studios in the East End. We've been here for twenty years, and we won't be selling up, or selling out, anytime soon.
Native is an independent design and innovation firm, with a unique blend of industrial, digital, and service design expertise. We pioneer ground-breaking products and services for some of the world's most innovative brands across consumer electronics, healthcare, wellness, and automotive.
