Role
Who you are
- You’re open minded about exploring technologies / codebases outside of your normal areas of expertise
- You enjoy working in a collaborative, open and creative environment
- You want to build an interesting product that delights its users and genuinely serves their needs
- For this role, we’re looking for candidates with existing industry experience of building rich applications in React, JavaScript or TypeScript when it comes to the frontend technology, supported by a good level of Go for the backend
- We also value candidates with a broad range of experience, and encourage frontend engineers to get involved in backend development from time to time.You would like to primarily work on a React app that’s constantly evolving
What the job involves
- You'll be joining a team of empowered Engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance, and personal development
- We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, with a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers. The composition of our teams is fluid and we encourage Engineers to rotate between different teams and projects based on their interests, skills, and learning opportunities
- Our product teams build and maintain new product features based on early and frequent engagement with our customers. Our teams aim to create a product that genuinely serves our customers’ needs and to provide a great experience for them
- Our platform team enables other teams to be successful by continually investing in our tooling, systems, and developer experience
- Some of their recent work includes a new feature flagging system, resulting in a reduction in our deployment times, and a rewrite of our login and session management system
- We carefully scope our projects so that we can deliver value incrementally and take feedback on board as early as possible. We’re also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it
- Finally, learning is a big part of our engineering culture. Every two weeks, our team takes a “Lab Day”, when everyone is free to work on projects that interest them, learn new skills, or contribute to open source
- As part of this role, we would like you to help us maintain best practices and standards across our codebase, mentor less experienced Frontend Engineers, and create high-quality documentation and learning resources for the entire team
Application process
- 20-30 minute call with our Talent Partner
- 45 minute Zoom video call with the Hiring Manager
- Take home coding challenge
- Meet the team via Zoom video call - about 2.5 hours
- The whole process takes about 3 weeks end to end, but we’re flexible!
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Geckoboard was founded to bring consolidated data in one place to the teams and individuals who need it. They have taken this concept and adapted it into a platform that would suitable in most organisations.
Geckoboard started in 2010 and have been riding the shift towards businesses collecting and using data to drive decisions ever since.
Whilst the metric dashboard and data collection industry is extremely competitive, Geckoboard have partnered with some of the biggest and most exciting companies in the UK such as Airbnb, HelloFresh and Ticketmaster with great success, to really get a foothold in this space.
Geckoboard is likely to continue their success to date as they offer a unique platform with excellent customer service for all of their clients.

Company benefits
- Life first: We don’t talk much about work-life balance because we believe life, health and family come first. We never ask anyone to work overtime and we encourage everyone to fully disconnect from work when out-of-hours or on annual leave. Our leave policy is designed so you can take all the holiday you need (we see 25 days annual leave + bank holidays as the minimum). Some of us work part-time and everyone is free to work flexible hours to fit around their family and personal commitments. Plus, enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies are there to support you when your life changes.
- Community: Our everyday working style is underpinned by openness, teamwork, and a strong sense of community. The whole company meets up online once a month to share what each team is working on and understand how the business is performing overall. We also host regular socials online and in-person. This has included everything from guided meditation to cookery club, from cheese-tasting to life-drawing.
- Development: Growing as a business is as important to us as growing as individuals. Your development is guided by our progression frameworks, continuous feedback and regular one-to-ones with your team lead. You’re also equipped with your own development budget to spend however you choose.
- Investment: You’re helping us grow, so we want to make sure you’re part of our business and our journey for the long term. We offer share options, review your salary annually, and will set you up with equipment of your choice so you can work at your best.
- Innovation: Innovation and experimentation are an important part of life at Geckoboard. Everyone can take lab days once a fortnight to work on their own projects.
