Job description

Our main tech stack consists of a next.js frontend, and a GraphQL backend. We use React on the frontend and a mixture of node and C# on the backend. We also use elasticsearch, redis and deploy to Kubernetes in the cloud, using managed services and infrastructure-as-code whenever possible.

Your role will involve working in a small agile team with other talented full stack developers of a range of abilities and a dedicated product manager. We try to keep our management structure flat and you will have a chance to make meaningful contributions to how we implement features and the technology choices we make.

• Experience writing production-grade backend systems
• Experience in writing production-grade React applications
• TDD and all aspects of testing from unit through to integration

• API design and consumption
• Experience in a strongly-typed object oriented language such as C# or Java
• Typescript
• NestJS
• GraphQL
• Elasticsearch
• React hooks
• React Native
• Styled Components
• Testing react apps using testing-library and jest
• Testing .Net using NUnit, XUnit and utilising Moq
• Docker and kubernetes
• AWS and terraform
• Experience running high-availability distributed systems

What we offer you:

• Generous annual leave policies aimed at promoting work-life balance.
• Flexibility in working arrangements, offering hybrid or remote work options based on role requirements and location.
• Matching pension schemes and/or 401k.
• Comprehensive staff wellbeing initiatives, featuring regular activities and workplace programmes to support mental and physical health. This includes discounted Classpass memberships, and custom-fitted earplugs.
• Company-led social events, team lunches, and discounts on RA merch.
• Paid annual volunteering allowance, encouraging contributions to community projects and charities you care about.
• Regular company-wide Q&A’s with senior leadership, along with ongoing virtual educational training sessions for all staff.

As an independent company run by devoted dance music enthusiasts, our mission is to bring together the world's electronic music communities. Our Global Contributor Network (GCN) and international teams help us establish connections with hyper-niche local scenes.
