Job Summary

Responsibilities

You will be a leading developer across at least one of three products being built across the next 12 months, spanning three different technology verticals. Blackpanda is building exciting technology both for internal use and for external-facing customer engagement.
Communicating with business stakeholders from time to time to help advise on strategy, according to the likely difficulty of solving the technology challenge.
Engage with code review of your peers, especially more junior developers.
Have the opportunity to lead engineering initiatives / discovery to ascertain the best path forwards before diving into writing production code.
Shipping robust, maintainable, tested code - often! You will see your work used by thousands of customers within a short period of time.

Requirements

At least 5 years working as part of a software development team, shipping production-ready code and used by a large number of users.
Natural curiosity and you thrive on learning new things
Value balance in your life and know when to call it a day so that you come back fresh the next morning with class-leading solutions. We do not promote sloppy code and as such, we guard against overworked, tired developers, but you must also be good at managing your own time to achieve this.
Passion for efficiency and collaboration, with a history of establishing great relationships with your engineering peers.
Prioritize test-driven, elegant solutions that are maintainable, aided by appropriate terse or detailed documentation, whichever makes the most sense per case.
Work closely with the Head of Engineering to evaluate platforms - test driving an API or working methodically through the documentation to understand if it will solve the business need.
Comfortable presenting to a group over video calls periodically, describing how a solution was arrived at, and how it works in layman terms.
