Job description

Front-end leaning, full-stack software engineer

We’re looking for a delivery-focused React TypeScript engineer that would enjoy improving a product that over the years has helped our freelancers & clients deliver hundreds of thousands of successful projects together.

Whilst the role is frontend-leaning, all of our developers are expected to work on both sides of the stack and so any experience in Python/Django or simply knowing other languages is beneficial.

Our product team is small (~15) but growing and you'd be working alongside a team that puts collaboration, the product & transparency first. We foster an ownership-first culture where teams are accountable for outcomes, treat mistakes as learning opportunities, and own their code end-to-end through to production. We embrace AI-assisted engineering and all developers get a decent budget for using AI-tooling.

Our team is remote-first and we work asynchronously where we can. However, we do have an office and if you’re in London you can work in the office if you please. For those that are close, we meet up monthly for retros. We are still open to great remote-only developers, provided you are in a UK-friendly timezone (+/-2hrs).

You know your way around modern full-stack web applications, and understand how they fundamentally communicate. You might not know backend development in Python & GraphQL inside out but you are not afraid to learn - as this is a major part of how we work at YunoJuno. You’ll use your knowledge to understand our business priorities and participate in feature design from the outset.

Responsibilities

• planning code (and no code!) solutions to aid in our long term goals of becoming the best freelancer marketplace + management system globally.

• deliver new user-facing features powered by reusable UI components.

• work closely with stakeholders, product and design to implement fast new feature concepts.

• owning the development process of specific features all the way through from the design stage, to evaluating their use in production in multiple browser configurations.

• using the latest LLM-development methodologies to ship code faster and with less friction.

• ensuring we keep our DORA metrics amongst the best in the industry so that we keep our time-to-ship low, and developer happiness high.

• working in a CI-backed environment, in small teams, at a sustainable pace, in three-week cycles. We use Linear internally and follow their opinionated development process.

Qualifications

• have experience working on front-end heavy applications, in particular React ones. Experience or a strong desire to work with SaaS products would be a bonus. With a multi-sided marketplace even more so.

• have experience with Typescript and appreciate the ethos behind a type safe environment.

• have experience working with remote distributed teams, and the async communication and working patterns that come with that.

• believe testing and code quality are important, even in this new age.

• have a deep understanding of how the web and browsers work.

• are happier shipping features than debating tabs vs spaces.

• prefer to move quickly and iteratively, and believe that shipping incrementally and fast is best.

• are comfortable with Git and CI workflows, especially GitHub actions.

• like to start new things as much as you like to replace old ones, and continuously learn from mistakes.

Additional preferences

• have experience working with Django or other web applications, in particular Python ones.

• have ever been a contractor/freelancer, and thus have a true understanding of the problems we are trying to solve for our users.

• understand and know how to work with both RESTful APIs & GraphQL

• have worked with Heroku and/or Docker, our current deployment mechanics.

• have a good understanding of security (XSS in particular) when it comes to web apps.
