Role
Who you are
- Experience: You have at least 3-5 years of experience in full-stack development, with a significant amount of this time spent working on both front-end and back-end systems on some of the technologies we use (Azure, Terraform, TypeScript, C#, .NET Core, React, Azure Functions, Azure Devops Pipelines, SQL Server, Azure Table Storage, Application Insights)
- Skills: You have solid understanding of React with skills in C# and .NET Core on the backend, and you have experience in building and consuming APIs
- Familiarity with our toolset: You're familiar with SQL server and Azure Tables for data storage, and Azure for hosting and serverless solutions. You're familiar with Azure DevOps Pipelines for CI/CD and have an understanding of application monitoring using tools like Application Insights
- Problem-Solver: You are a natural problem solver with an inquisitive mind. You like to dig into issues, find out how things work and come up with creative solutions
- Collaborative mindset: You play well with others and believe that we can achieve more together. You have experience working in cross-functional teams and understand the value of open communication
- Continuous Learning: You're committed to learning new technologies and keeping up with the latest industry trends, sharing that knowledge with your team
- Commitment to High Standards: Finally, you are committed to maintaining high standards in all your work and are never satisfied with code that is ‘good enough’. We strive for excellence in our team, and we hope you do too
- Our Tech Environment:
- Technologies - Azure, Serverless, Terraform, TypeScript, C#, .NET Core, React, MobX, Storybook, Figma, Azure Functions
- Source Control and CI/CD - We use Azure DevOps Pipelines for continuous integration and continuous deployment and Azure Devops repositories for our source control management
- Cloud/Serverless Applications - We aim to build robust and performant cloud/serverless applications. Our focus is on seamless user experience and continuous business growth
- Data Storage - We use SQL Server and Azure Table Storage for data storage in our applications
- Monitoring - We utilise Application Insights and Azure Monitor to keep track of our application performance and troubleshoot potential issues
- Cross-Functional Teams - We work in cross-functional teams owning the entire software development life-cycle from discovery to delivery
- While we don't expect you to have experience with all of the above technologies, prior experience with .NET Core or React, along with cloud/serverless experience, would put you in good stead
What the job involves
- You will have the notable chance to work on various exciting projects including the refreshed Hotel booking journey featuring a brand new UI using React, and an entirely new Gourmet booking journey which will entail building new APIs and integrating with new 3rd party suppliers
- In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining, updating, and developing new features for our software applications. This includes both back-end and front-end development tasks, with a special focus on improving the user experience
- You will also work closely with the rest of the team and stakeholders to understand requirements, design new features, and ensure the high quality of our delivered solutions
- You'll collaboratively help to maintain and improve our shared React Component library, and contribute to creating effective, efficient and secure serverless solutions
- Develop Features Across Full Stack: You must be able to work effectively on both front-end and back-end development tasks. This includes designing, coding, testing, and supporting applications such as our Hotel and Gourmet booking journeys
- Refine User Journeys: Part of your role will involve refining and improving our user journeys by working closely with our Product Manager and design team. This could involve creating a new user interface in React, improving the efficiency of an API call, or anything in between
- Work On Multiple Projects: You'll be expected to be able to manage your tasks effectively, as you'll sometimes be required to switch between different aspects of our projects, integrating with new APIs, developing new features or functionalities
- Collaborate: You will be collaborating with the team on the shared React Component Library to improve and extend it with new UI components when necessary
- Mentor and Learn: As part of our dedication to growth, you'll be expected to provide mentorship to junior team members as well as constantly learning and growing yourself
- Analyse: We will rely on you to analyse software performance and carry out necessary optimizations to ensure our applications are operating at their best
- Implement Serverless Solutions: A significant part of our infrastructure exists on Azure. You'll be playing a key role in developing and maintaining our serverless computing solutions on this platform
- Agile Working: We work in a fast-paced, agile environment. This means you'll be active in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and other agile ceremonies
- Prioritise Security: You will be expected to always consider and prioritise the security of our software throughout the development lifecycle
- With these responsibilities, you'll play a key role in a team that's integral to our company's ability to provide its customers with a smooth booking experience
Salary benchmarks
Our take
When Moonpig was founded in 2000, it bought into the idea that a personalised gift is always more meaningful, whether sent from the sofa, the commute, or the gym. Customers quickly bought into this vision, and Moonpig saw rapid growth culminating in its 2011 acquisition by Photobox for £120M.
Since then, Moonpig has seen continued success. Through expansion into new products such as flowers (Moonpig is now a top-3 online flower seller) and the development of its own app, Moonpig has established its place within the market for personalised gifts.
And it doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon, as it looks to expand even further. Recent innovations have included the introduction of giant cards, and the company has also secured the ability to create exclusively branded ranges alongside Disney and Warner Bros. This commitment to innovation positions Moonpig to capture even more market share and strengthen its leadership in the industry.
