Lead Full-Stack Engineer, Emitwise

• At least 5 years of professional experience as a software engineer
• Previous experience leading a small team of engineers
• Expertise in frontend development using React and Typescript. In practice this likely means you have spent either more than two years as a dedicated frontend engineer, or more than four years doing full stack development
• A degree of comfort in working on backend systems. You don’t have to be an expert here, but we do want you to be keen to upskill if you aren’t
• Competence in at least one additional general purpose programming language. The majority of our backend is written in Go, with some additional components written in Python, but it’s fine if your experience is in something different - your overall approach to development is more important than the languages you know
• To have worked in small start up before, and to have a good sense of the limitations this imposes and the trade-offs involved
• The ability to be flexible, adaptable, and thrive in a rapidly changing environment
• The right to work in the UK and the ability to come into our London office at least once a week
• Passion for our mission
• To be a good fit for this particular role, we need you to have had significant experience in frontend development, with a good understanding of best practices in UX implementation and a deep knowledge of React
