Job description

We are looking for a junior-mid level or accomplished graduate software engineer with experience building single page applications to join our product team working on Plyable’s web apps. Our sites are written in modern Angular (TypeScript) and Django and hosted on Google App Engine and Kubernetes. We are a rapidly growing company, so there is excellent scope for growth and to shape your role, and you will be able to work with and learn from senior developers. The most important factor to us is attitude and willingness to learn and approach new problems. This is a primarily in-person position at our offices at the edge of Oxford, but we have flexible and partially remote options.

About Us

Based in Oxford, Plyable is an award-winning startup that specialises in using the latest AI and machine learning technology to automate the quoting, design and production of tooling and parts for composite (carbon fibre) manufacturing. The demand for composites is surging, particularly in industries such as aerospace, electric vehicles and marine, as it offers a strong and lightweight and so greener option. Plyable is renowned for its impressive client base in these sectors and is dedicated to providing time and cost-saving solutions to innovators and engineers.

We are at an exciting time in our journey, and are now moving towards selling licenses of our software products, and developing new SaaS models to address real pain points in manufacturing as a whole. We are expecting this to be a period of high growth at Plyable, in a real tech start-up atmosphere. This full stack role would be working as part of the existing software team developing new SaaS products from scratch based on Plyable current internal software, building our MVPs then doing proof of concept projects with selected customers before we go to market. We have multiple software packages scoped out for development over the next few years, and expect these to yield high returns and make a real difference to the manufacturing industry.

Experience Required

• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or related field
• Strong analytical, problem solving, written and verbal communication skills
• Some experience or knowledge in developing a single page application
• Some experience with frontend development including HTML5/Sass

Any experience with any of the following is a bonus, but not required

• Python, specifically Django
• Angular
• TypeScript
• Experience with the full software lifecycle including interpretation of requirements, unit, integration and e2e testing, CI/CD pipelining
• WebGL
• SaaS
• Data analytics or background in Maths
• C++ (our deeper level analysis of CAD files is written in this, but would not be a part of this role)

Our Culture

We are a new player in a traditional manufacturing industry and the team is constantly learning and willing to question the status-quo.

We take quality code very seriously. We work in small intelligent teams. We have developer freedom, meaning we have a common goal, but how we get there is down to the developer.

Our software engineers work closely with our manufacturing and sales teams and our customers to create software that makes a meaningful impact.

• Excellent salary (£40-45k per annum)
• Flexible and partial remote work options
• 25 days holiday plus extra time off for company shut down over Christmas
• Excellent hardware
• Good opportunities for growth and training
• Company-paid conference tickets
• Free fruit and sweet treats in the office
• Team lunches, socials and company events
