A Unicorn company that have recently opened up a Enterprise division in London are looking for multiple full stack engineers to join their London based team.

The client

It’s an opportunity to have an immediate and real impact on the future of their product. They have a self-autonomous environment where initiative is rewarded and you’re given a huge degree of independence.

What’s the product?

With over 180,000 customers (including Coca Cola, Hulu and Universal) and growing, the product is work operating system that allows any given client to shape workflows, their way. They can boost their team’s alignment, productivity and efficiency by customising any workflow. It allows you to centralise all work, processes, tools and files into one operating system.

The role

The Role

As mentioned, you’ll joining their London Enterprise team (they already have one in Tel-Aviv). This team will have the core focus of specifically catering to the needs of larger businesses or enterprises.

They’re looking for an engineer who can look beyond the code and see the bigger picture. The enterprise team works across teams and has three sub sections in which you could be responsible of;

Security-related features/Integrity and Data Protection
User access/Permissions management
Customer Accounts/Management tools

As such, they want someone who’s happy to really plug themselves into both user and business needs. Because of this there’ll be the opportunity for you to write a lot of new code, increase product features and help them penetrate this new domain.

The candidate

What experience do I need?

They’re looking for an engineer who comes with experience of closing a whole product cycle, with end-to-end ownership from a product based company. Primarily you’ll be working with JavaScript (Node, React, Redux) and Ruby, (with an equal split 50/50). However, they know that a good developer can pick up a new language quickly, so they’re really not fussed on your background.

Their software engineering stack looks like this: React, Redux, Node, Ruby, AWS, Linux, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka.

What’s in it for you?

Based near Tottenham Court Road Station (right by the Meta offices), they’re offering a salary of up to £115K. On top of that is a pretty impressive annual bonus of 8-10%, as well as stock options. There are 25 days holiday plus your bank holidays. They are looking for people to come into the office 3 days a week at the moment, though the manager is looking to reduce this over time.

The Interview Process

First stage is a short intro call with the Internal Recruiter, who’ll give you a bit more info on the product and project as well as take any questions you have around them. There’ll be some light technical questions but nothing heavy. This is followed by three separate technical interviews; one around the day to day activities they do and another that is more general. The final stage is an opportunity for you to meet people face to face in their Central London office and is a chance for you to get to know your new potential team.

We welcome diversity

We welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences. Our team includes parents, the self-taught, the university-educated, and people of a wide variety of nationalities, ages, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Obviously, we’re looking to ensure it’s a solid fit from both sides: we want you to step into a role you love, and we want to offer you a place you’re proud to come to every day for work.

We know that diverse teams are strong teams, and welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply to be part of life at Zebra People. We are committed to a fair and accessible recruitment process for all candidates. We would be happy to meet any accommodation requests during the application or interview process, please just let us know.
