Job description

We are looking for a full-stack software engineer to help grow The Body Coach.

Our engineering team is fully-remote but you can work from our office in Richmond, London any time you like. We operate a four-day working week (Monday to Thursday) and we meet in person every three months to plan for the future and catch up with each other.

Our systems run on AWS, almost exclusively lambda functions (NodeJS / TypeScript), with Aurora MySQL and DynamoDB for storage. We use third parties that manage subscriptions (RevenueCat), consent (iubenda), CRM (Iterable), CMS (Contentful) for us so we can focus on our core business. Our websites use React (alongside Remix and Gatsby). The Android and iOS apps are served via a GraphQL API using AppSync. We deploy code primarily using CDK and we are working on migrating away from legacy code that uses Terraform. We use GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment processes.

What You'll Do

• Work in a cross-functional team comprising mobile and full-stack engineering, design and product management
• Be responsible for medium-complexity features from start to finish
• Regularly review code, providing helpful and actionable feedback
• Contribute to writing engineering one-pagers (known elsewhere as design docs or RFCs)
• Assist in breaking down larger features into smaller deliverables
• Provide technical support to the customer service team
• Help prioritise the engineering task backlog
