Wanted - London Based Full Stack Engineer (Python/React) aka: Platform Pioneer to Help Engineer a Better Tomorrow
Tired of building yet another app that helps people order slightly more artisanal toast? Yeah, us too. How about sinking your teeth into something a bit more… impactful? We're on the lookout for a talented Full Stack Engineer to join our team and help power the UK's journey to Net Zero.
If you've got the coding skills to build robust and scalable software, and the enthusiasm to contribute to a future where polar bears aren't just a sad meme, then listen up. You'll be diving headfirst into our cutting-edge digital platform, the brains behind multiple applications that are genuinely making a difference in areas like renewable energy (think solar, wind, maybe even some tidal power – it’s cool stuff).
What you'll be doing (aka, the serious bit):
You'll be a dab hand at switching between front-end finesse and back-end brilliance.
Expect to:
Design and build highly scalable software solutions that’ll hopefully last longer than your last sourdough starter.
Work with our techy-but-human Business Analysts and Architects to make sure our Jira tickets aren't just wild dreams.
Turn those fancy wireframes into actual, working code.
Craft slick user interfaces using frameworks like React.js (we're open to persuasion if you're a Vue or Angular enthusiast with compelling arguments).
Create a solid backend using Python (other languages are welcome to the party too!).
Build reusable components and libraries – because nobody enjoys reinventing the digital wheel.
Get your hands dirty maintaining and improving our existing applications – we're all about continuous improvement, not just firefighting.
Keep your finger on the pulse of the tech world – because stagnant code is sad code.
The Techy Bits (aka, our love language):
You'll need to be pretty comfortable with a fair few of these:
At least 3 years working with a Python web framework (Django preferred, but we appreciate other Pythonic heroes).
At least 2 years of front-end experience (React gets bonus points, but show us what you've got!).
Container-related wizardry (Docker and Docker Compose should be familiar allies).
Database dialogues (SQL and PostgreSQL are our go-to, but we know other databases are available).
RESTful API development and management – making systems talk nicely to each other.
Proactive Performance Tuning – because nobody likes a sluggish system.
A solid grasp of design patterns and how to actually use them.
DevOps tooling know-how (GitLab, CI/CD, Jenkins, build pipelines, and source control – the whole shebang).
A working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, storage, networking, hybrid connectivity, monitoring/logging, security and IAM (preferably AWS – we like our clouds fluffy and well-managed).
Being a true code hero contributing to the wider engineering team and being able to explain the wonders of code to those who haven't quite ascended to our digital plane.
Bonus Points (aka, the shiny things that catch our eye):
If you also speak other coding languages (C#, C, etc.), consider us interested...
What's in it for you (aka, the perks of saving the planet with code):
A salary in the region of £55k - £75k, because your skills are valuable.
The chance to genuinely contribute to a more sustainable future – your code will be doing good in the world!
The opportunity to work with a fantastic team of clever folks who are passionate about what they do (and who occasionally bring in decent biscuits).
A dynamic and forward-thinking work environment where your ideas are actually listened to (we promise!).
We're all about growth and development – we want you to level up your skills alongside us.
(Insert typical UK benefits here - e.g., generous holiday allowance, pension scheme, flexible working options – we’re not monsters!).
Ready to ditch the endless e-commerce sites and build something that actually matters? If you're a talented Full Stack Engineer with a knack for problem-solving and a desire to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now and let's code a brighter future together!
P.S: We are not able to provide sponsorship or relocation, so please only apply if you can work in the UK for any employer without sponsorship and are commutable distance from Central London.
