Job description

Overview

Developing open source web development tools to unleash users creativity. This company\'s open-source B2B software enables users to quickly create and deploy web applications without needing front and back end development knowledge. Their flexible SAAS platform allows advanced web functionality to be built using a commonly used and intuitive scripting language and libraries. As their product continues to gain traction, an opportunity has arisen for an additional Senior Back-End Software Engineer within the Cambridge-based development team.

A strong all-rounder, this key employee would have the breadth of experience to quickly come up to speed with the company\'s technology stack and to help lead the engineering effort. The role would involve software design and implementation across the full development lifecycle, with an emphasis on back end and systems aspects of their own hosting solutions, but you will also be involved with development of other components, making this quite a varied role.

Responsibilities

• Software design and implementation across the full development lifecycle, with emphasis on back end and systems aspects of hosting solutions
• Contribute to the development of other components as part of a varied role
• Collaborate within the Cambridge-based development team

Skills and experience

• An impressive track record of professional software engineering, demonstrating adaptability to different technology stacks, problem solving ability, and zeal for digging into details to overcome technical challenges
• Substantial experience in back end development, software systems design, or SAAS applications
• Knowledge of Python, JavaScript, Clojure, or PostgreSQL would be great but an exact fit isn\'t expected
• DevOps skills and some exposure to open source development practices would also be useful

Benefits

This is a great opportunity to join a successful, growing company, and work as part of a highly-skilled and friendly team. The role features a highly competitive salary and benefits package, and scope for hybrid working for part of the week.
