Full-stack Software Engineer
The Role:
While our stack of choice is Ruby on Rails for API & background processing on the backend + VueJS SPA on the frontend, our software and data engineers come from various backgrounds (Java, Node, Perl, React, Angular…). Some of us are stronger on the backend, other on the frontend, but we all work collaboratively top to bottom and we believe in using the most appropriate tool for the job. Day to day we work on improving the performance and quality of our content collection technology, build new and better ways of alerting and reporting information to our users in our desktop & mobile apps, enhance our infrastructure to be more automated and reliable as we scale. We deploy on GCP cloud and aim for the sweet spot between modular monolith and micro-services. The variety and the amount of content (text, audio, video, images, PDF) we analyse make for many interesting challenges so we promise you will learn new things and won’t get bored.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work with our engineering team to improve the existing platform and bring new features to life in our desktop/mobile/admin apps all the way from concept to deployment
- Write efficient, maintainable and tested code that the rest of the team can rely on and refactor with confidence
- Evaluate and build upon multiple external APIs and services available out there
- Implement our own services where it makes sense to do so
- Be involved in architecture, technology & tooling decisions
- Deploy every day!
Skills and experience:
- You are an enthusiastic software engineer with 3-5 years (mid-level) / 6+ (senior) years of experience across the whole web stack, familiar with Rails & Vue or keen to transfer skills from similar frameworks in different languages.
- An interest in news & media, data science and natural language processing and experience with with Elasticsearch databases are a bonus. Roles are flexible and we like to play on everyone strengths and interests.
