Job description

Location: Remote First; office location Moorgate, London (flexible remote working locations within UK)

Employment type: Permanent

Working Hours: Full-time (UK 9-6)

Salary: dependent on experience up to £60,000 + Shares + Benefits

You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to:

• Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java
• Refactor to improve code design
• Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by thousands of tests)
• Automate the boring bits

Features of the way we work:

• We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach
• We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable
• We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible
• We practice TDD, BDD and DDD
• We automate as much as possible
• We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on. We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers
• Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code
• See Dave Farley walk through how our CI pipeline works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKHdp4H-8w

Our needs:

We are growing the team and are keen to encourage diversity of domain experience and background. We're open-minded about your path to becoming a developer: we don't require any particular academic or specific work experience, but we do expect you to have written code in a commercial setting. Our junior positions are targeted at early-career developers who are keen to broaden and deepen their technical skills and understanding of sound development practices.

Above all, you will:

• Be happy to pair-program full-time and have some Java experience
• Be able to communicate opinions, ideas and thought processes clearly
• Be keen to continuously learn new and better ways of solving problems
