Job description

What we do?

At GoodFit, we help our customers unlock their next stages of growth with highly actionable & relevant data. Without a need to speed thousands of hours on manual research, B2B companies use GoodFit's data engine to identify their next opportunities, understand their customers & generate demand.

Our platform takes data from hundreds of sources across the internet, and combines it into a real-time and constantly updated view of each opportunity our clients monitor. We process a lot of data to do this, and utilise best-in-class data processing technologies to do this at scale, robustly and efficiently.

We have a great market opportunity, and we are working with many of the highest growth B2B companies out there. In order to keep up with demand, and accelerate development of the platform, we are expanding our core engineering team.

About the role:

As a Senior Software Engineer at GoodFit, you'll be at the forefront of our technological innovation and product delivery. We're looking for someone who can navigate the fast-paced startup environment, tackle complex challenges head-on, and communicate effectively across all levels of the organisation.

You will:

• Be part of a small team, working in a fully remote-first environment, spanning Europe and UK
• As a senior software engineer, own understanding of business problems, design, implementation and release of critical features across our stack
• Design and develop scalable, efficient solutions primarily using JavaScript/TypeScript and AWS technologies, but be prepared to work with a variety of other languages and tools as needed
• Be comfortable switching between frontend, backend, devops, and data engineering tasks as the project demands
• Assess the trade-offs between added complexity, development effort, and expected gains for new features or technologies
• Stay updated with industry trends and best practices, bringing relevant insights to the team
• Collaborate closely with all team members across the business, wearing multiple hats (engineering, product, support) as needed in a small team environment
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Proactively communicate problems, risks, and trade-offs to the team and wider organisation
• Be comfortable in a rapidly changing startup environment

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• You have 5+ years of professional experience in software development, with a proven track record of delivering impactful projects

• You have experience with data processing techniques, working with large datasets and are confident using SQL
• You're well-versed in modern front-end frameworks (we are using React)
• You have a strong bias towards action and a track record of driving outcomes
• You're an excellent communicator, able to explain complex technical concepts to various audiences
• You're passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with the latest tech trends
• You have experience with or strong interest in working in a startup environment
• Experienced working in a remote-first team and work in the UK.

Why you'll love working at GoodFit:

• We are an early stage start up, with a tremendous growth trajectory. The work you'll do will have an instant & recognisable impact.
• We're a remote-first team, valuing long stretches of uninterrupted work over constant connectivity. We have an office near old street, for those who prefer a hybrid working pattern. The entire team will get together for occasional planning and team meetings (max once per month).
• As we are small team, you'll work on various parts of our platform & gain experience with wide range of technologies.
• Complete end-to-end ownership of the business problem all the way to completion, release and happy customers
• Opportunity to work directly with our founders and executive team who have a proven track record in building successful startups
