Role

Who you are

You will have previous significant experience as a developer in a professional setting (on average, if you don't have a few years of experience as a developer building software in a TDD and continuous integration sort of setting, this position is probably not suitable for you just yet) and are a strong supporter of highly collaborative Product minded development environments
We expect you to be relative autonomous in writing well designed and tested code (strong preference for TDD)
You'll communicate using English language fluidly
You'll have deep familiarity with at least one of our core languages (Javascript, Typescript, Ruby) - bonus points for one or more of the following frameworks/libraries: Sinatra, Rails, Hanami, Angular, React, Next.JS
If you're by nature a Frontend inclined developer, you'll have experience with responsive design realisation (strong CSS skills, mobile-first web development and/or experience building PWAs)
You'll understand good automated testing practices and ideally be a TDD practitioner (experience with one or more of the following highly recommended: rspec/ minispec, capybara, cucumber, jasmine, karma, mocha, chai, jest, enzymejs, cypress)
You'll have a highly collaborative attitude and be willing to spend the great majority of the time (80+%) doing pair programming
You'll be deeply familiar with at least one Agile framework
You'll know git inside out and be familiar with "Git Feature Branch Workflow"
Have a dev-ops as a culture and mindset. Providing a solution for a CD/CI yourself, making the best artifact for your solution, instead of relaying on others to make that decision for you

What the job involves

You'll be part of a delivery squad where you'll work closely with a squad lead engineer, a product manager, a UX designer, a QA engineer and other engineers - including pair programming with the engineering peers
Every day: 15 min time-boxed remote standup involving the entire Product team (12 people currently) at 9 AM UK time; quite a bit of remote pairing with different members of the team
Periodically: Frontend/Backend guild led architecture workshops
This is a permanent role available for people who are willing to work UK hours (we usually work from 9am-6pm with ~1h break for lunch)

Our take

Nowadays, there are much more opportunities for landlords to fill empty spaces, for example through short-term rentals. But taking advantage of these opportunities can still be logistically complex. Lavanda is hoping to change that, with a platform helping landlords boost net operating income by remaining flexible to different kinds of rental requirements, and to capitalise on seasonal demand.

This means landlords traditionally pegged to the residential market can now build up their own hospitality brands, providing a significant value boost over time. The concept is proving remarkably popular, and Lavanda is growing and developing its product fast. It now offers services in the UAE and on a UK-based platform, showcasing the team’s strategic acumen, which will serve it well as the market continues to develop.
