Job description

About LoyalBe

LoyalBe is a fast-growing Card-Linked-Offer (CLO) network. We connect leading brands with millions of consumers through our network of partners, including major card networks, banks, and fintechs. We offer a smarter, more measurable growth channel by connecting global brands, banks, and consumers in a single, frictionless, pay-for-performance rewards network.

Today we work with top brands such as Just Eat, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, New Balance, Lego, adidas, Vodafone and more. We are seeking ambitious, commercially minded individuals to help us define the future of performance marketing. We are a rare breed in fintech/martech: Profitable, and reinvesting heavily in growth. We have validated the model; now we are scaling the commercial team to capture the market.

Role overview

We are looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to design, develop and deliver exceptional software. The role is full-stack and will require flexibility and a start-up mentality (see Disclaimer below!). You might be working on a new feature for our react dashboard one day, integrating with new bank APIs the next, and writing infrastructure-as-code the following day.

You will be one of the early engineers to join us at this level, and depending on your interests, you'll contribute to various efforts from raising the bar in terms of best practices to the hiring and growth of the engineering team. You’ll join a passionate and innovative team reshaping how brands and consumers connect through payment-linked loyalty. You’ll have autonomy, impact, and the opportunity to help define the direction of a growing scaleup.

Ideal candidate

We're looking for someone who gets excited by solving new challenges and learning new things along the way. You're a self-starter and you like to be hands-on (i.e. write code) but also want to help steer the direction of the technology forward.

We need someone who works well with uncertainty, frequent changes to product specifications and who can move fast. Salary and equity are competitive and are negotiable depending on experience.

What you'll do

• Write well-designed, testable code (this will be most of your day)


• Design and build APIs for use with our web app and partners


• Build systems at scale, learn new technologies and share knowledge


• Solve technical challenges with good coding practices while being conscious of functionality and robustness


• Develop a deep understanding of our entire tech stack


• Fully own the design and development of multiple features

Our tech stack

• TypeScript + NestJS (Backend Services)


• React (Frontend Web Dashboard)


• MySQL


• Docker


• AWS

Requirements

• Proven work experience as a Software Engineer or SSE (3+ years experience)


• Knowledge of at least one high level programming language (Java, Javascript, C#, C++ or similar)


• Knowledge of relational databases (we use MySQL - general SQL experience required)


• Knowledge and experience with CI/CD


• Experience of applying development best practices and patterns in relation to security, scalability and performance


• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs


• Experience with AWS or similar cloud platform provider


• You should be very familiar with the SDLC from preliminary analysis to tests and production deployment

Benefits

• Competitive salary and compensation package


• Stock option plan - have a stake in the company you are building


• Have your say on how the company solves tough challenges


• Limited number of weekly meetings, aside from collaborating on technical solutions with the team where appropriate (i.e. more time to Get Stuff Done)


• Macbook + home office budget


• Health/wellbeing membership (money back on everyday healthcare costs, such as Dental, Optical and Physiotherapy)


• Flexible holiday policy


• Flexible working arrangements and flexible working hours


• Professional development budget


• And more!

Process

If we proceed with your application, the interview process will consist of a quick phone call, followed by a short programming challenge and 1-2 interviews. We aim to make quick decisions.

Diversity

We believe that being a diverse team will make us a stronger team and we want to hire people who believe the same. Please don't filter yourself out!

Startup disclaimer

We're a startup, so working with us means you can and will face different challenges than working in larger organisations. Yes, we're a small and fast-moving team which definitely has its advantages but that also means you'll have a lot of responsibility. Servers go down? It's up to us to fix it; there is no dev-ops team. At the same time, we're not Pied Piper building the decentralised web, so we don't expect you to be constantly available to resolve issues. Work/life balance is important!
