We are a successful and fast growing B2B SaaS company offering a market-leading platform to enable enterprise retailers and banks to manage queues and to accept appointment bookings for in-store and virtual appointments. Our clients are based all over the world, including: Samsung, Tesco, Specsavers, Burberry, Pandora, NatWest, Standard Chartered, IQOS and many others.
At present, we’re saving time for 35 million customers through our platform! During the pandemic, customers have appreciated our software more than ever because not waiting in a queue makes them feel less at risk from the Coronavirus – having this impact on the world has been amazing.
This has led to an even greater surge in client demand.
As a result we are hiring a new mid to senior-level backend developer to join our growing team of developers creating game-changing cloud-based technology that makes life better for our clients and their customers.
You will report to our CTO, who has now been leading agile development teams for more than 10 years. Our tech runs on Amazon Web Services, and our intelligent backend is built using Java 17, our beautiful frontend is built in React and React Native. We have a desktop browser and iOS and Android apps. We also use: MySQL to persist data, Ansible and Kubernetes for deployment and Prometheus and Grafana to visualise our systems and applications.
Currently we’re all working 100% remotely with team members based across the UK, Europe and USA and occasional (optional) in-person meet-ups in London. We believe that building a diverse team while ensuring everyone’s safety, convenience and happiness is key to creating powerful technology. We’re taking ongoing feedback from the team to assess what in-person working and social arrangements will work best in the future.
