Software Engineer - Mid-level

Working Pattern: Full-time – 5 days per week, normally Monday-Friday
Salary: £64,000
Role term: Permanent
We're Oddbox. We're a fruit and veg subscription company with big plans to change how people cook and eat, starting with incredible fresh produce. We've been rescuing fruit and veg at risk of going to waste for over 8 years (49M kilograms to date), but we know that there is more we can do to create tasty veg-centred meals.
The Role
To support the scaling of our subscription-based e-commerce, we're currently looking for hands-on engineers to join our entrepreneurial tech team. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of transforming and scaling up Oddbox and supporting the drivers of our success.
You will work as an integral part of our engineering team, supporting and collaborating with our Engineering team, Product team and our software agency, to shape and build our technologies and experiences.
While you’ll need some experience as an Engineer, we’re pretty open to which languages and disciplines you’re familiar with. As a guide, our tech stack currently consists of technologies and frameworks such as Python, Django, Typescript, React, Gatsby and Next.js, and we utilise AWS serverless technologies like Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway and SNS/SQS.
While we appreciate that people will naturally gravitate towards specific technical disciplines, we want to foster an environment where engineers are comfortable working across frontend, backend, and the underlying platform infrastructure, and you will of course be supported by learning & development opportunities to help you grow your skills.
You’ll be great in this role if you are:
Pragmatic - you understand that software delivery is a balancing act.
Focussed on delivery - you measure success in shipping high-quality software, not just writing it.
Curious - you are problem-led and want to understand the domain and requirements to inform solutions.
Collaborative - you can work independently but know when to bring certain discussions and decisions to the wider group.
Communicative - you can switch between in-the-details technical discussions to a high-level view depending on your audience.
Your Experience
You have worked as a contributor on complex software projects.
You collaborated with peers on code review, version control, architecture, pair programming, and software design.
Experience working in agile sprints; contributing to requirements and estimating the complexity of work.
This Might Not Be The Role For You If
You haven’t yet worked in a commercial environment
You don’t enjoy working collaboratively
Other Details
Start date – ASAP
Duration of role – permanent/full-time
Location – Hybrid-On average, you'll spend two days each week in our Vauxhall office, working with other Oddboxers and seeking out the low-hanging fruit. (Is that a fruit pun?! Maybe. Or we could just be talking about our always fresh fruit bowl and snack cupboard.) You'll need to visit our distribution centre in Croydon and packing facility in Birmingham a couple of times each year.
Looking After You
We won't waste your time telling you annual leave is a benefit- it's your right... But we'll give you five extra days of annual leave (33 days including bank holidays), four "not-sick" days and two volunteering days each year.
We offer you a £300 self-service L&D budget, backed by an extra generous helping of cohort and peer-to-peer learning opportunities.
You'll get access to perks and well-being support with Perkbox. Of course, you get discounts on Oddbox products (as well as the occasional stash of Oddbox merch).

Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs. It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter. The Roku Culture Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV. We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
