At Just we encourage a flexible and agile working environment for the majority of our opportunities. Get in touch with us to discuss in more detail. We're looking for a Software Engineer to join one of our multidisciplinary, cross-functional, lean delivery squads, focused on rapidly delivering value to our customers through our mobile app and website. Providing engineering expertise and experience as a member of a cross functional delivery team, working alongside other engineers, designers, QA, delivery lead and a tech lead.

Responsibilities

• Employ modern development practices to ship high-quality software
• Ability to adapt to new languages and frameworks
• Helping to choose the right technology for the job, striving for simplicity
• Providing support for digital products once they are live
• Pair programming with other members of the team, including designers and QAs
• Own the delivery of user stories end-to-end, working within agile principles
• Help break large deliverables into small, lean incremental user stories
• Actively contribute to agile ceremonies
• Working collaboratively with other engineers within Just to advance our practice across product squads.

Your Experience

• Web/mobile development languages (Typescript, Tailwind and a good understanding of underlying HTML, CSS).
• Databases (Mongo).

Our ideal candidate will have experience across different technologies and projects, combined with a desire to keep growing their skills—learning new languages, technologies and practices, solving tough problems and mastering areas you already know.

You'll be comfortable working alongside a mixed team of software engineers, senior software engineers and product managers and other colleagues to ensure we're delivering the right thing in the right way. As well as hands‑on coding we would like to see your ability to clearly explain your work to the team and broader stakeholders.

You are passionate about the craft of software development and contribute to technical and non‑technical discussions that help shape the direction of digital product delivery. You are able to work independently, as well as collaboratively, on user stories within an agile delivery environment and are versed in modern software delivery practices. You care about creating quality software that delivers value to consumers, in a thoughtfully pragmatic way.

We help people achieve a better later life. That's our purpose and it's the reason we exist. We are a fast‑growing FTSE 250 company helping customers enjoy the retirement they deserve.
