Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Winedrops helps our members save money and discover amazing wine. We started in 2022 and now have over 35,000 members and sell over 70k bottles per month.

We’re growing extremely fast and profitably as we look to expand into the US market (currently UK only) in 2025. Our aim is to build the world’s best wine merchant, using technology to improve savings and access for our members.

What we’re building

• Mobile application where 40k MAU buy wine and manage their virtual cellar. The app written in TypeScript with React Native and Expo.
• The backend is also TypeScript deployed as GCP/Firebase Cloud Functions. A few queues with GCP Pub/Sub to asynchronous process some requests. And there’s a Postgres database to store data.
• Web applications where customers sign up and manage their account - TypeScript, React. Deployed to Vercel.
• Our internal ERP web application, where we manage wine stock, customers, etc - TypeScript, Next.js. Deployed to Vercel.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a talented full-stack engineer to join our Engineering Team and contribute to new application features. You will collaborate with founders and the engineering team to shape Winedrops' future.

• You love working across the entire stack. Ideally, you have done both React Native and React. But it’s not a deal breaker if you have done only one.
• Enjoy SQL. We use Prisma as an ORM, but very often we have to write complex views with SQL.
• Understanding of how to write code that works in production. Sounds simple, right? But we deploy to production multiple times a day and our code is used by tens of thousands of customers. So we need to make sure it does run, it runs fast and we can diagnose any issues, should they arise.
• Happy to work GMT Timezone.
• 7+ years of professional experience in software development, in a dynamic environments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work under tight deadlines.
