Company mission
To become the most crucial HR system for the world's largest companies.
Role
Who you are
- Spent the majority of your career as a frontend engineer. You have excellent experience with React and Typescript and, ideally, GraphQL (Apollo Client)
- Exposure to SaaS business that has scaled across several products or modules, ideally with a common platform to deliver ‘consumer grade’ products
- Experience and understanding of how to share components across multiple apps within one company
- Ideally, you have worked with a microservice infrastructure in a high-availability environment
- Worked in and helped scale engineering teams in excess of 10 individuals
- Been part of a team that has implemented CI/CD
What the job involves
- Your biggest challenge will be the continued design and build of our core Skills Cloud and the workforce and HR applications that sit on top of it
- Our focus is on implementing an architecture that breaks down dependencies to allow for multiple innovative and decoupled engineering teams to deliver applications at high velocity
- Your role will include working with your globally distributed engineering, product, design and management colleagues
- Collaborate with colleagues in engineering, product, design and data science to help create the team structures, processes and policies to support our goals
- Contribute great ideas and solutions to our Customer’s problems. You’ll be highly engaged with your product team, both contributing your ideas and helping develop your colleagues’ ideas
- Deliver winning solutions. During ideation, you’ll assist with prototyping, identify key technical risks and assist the team in validating (or invalidating) ideas quickly and accurately. You’ll understand the problem clearly and the requirements of the validated idea for delivery
- Exceed customer’s expectations. Having been part of the problem definition, you’ll own the outcome and focus on solving the problem and exceeding expectations rather than simply delivering features
- Maximise velocity. You’ll be empowered to ensure you and the team are geared to deliver continuously with high velocity. You’ll knock down barriers which slow you and the team down, including minimising technical debt and internal dependencies
- Spend most of your time making not supporting. You will likely have ownership over one or more microservices. You’ll get to focus on Making by delivering reliable, clean and efficient code and by automating testing
- Make lifelong colleagues. You’ll have the opportunity to mentor junior members of the team but also the option to focus as an individual highly skilled contributor. Either way, you’ll bring the best out in others, support them, challenge them and laugh with them and as a result you’ll make some lifelong friends and colleagues
Our take
Assessing every employees soft skills helps businesses optimise operations and ensure teams are running smoothly. However, understanding how each role should be measured can be unclear, and existing job success measurement platforms are generic and do not consider the niche skills of each role.
Spotted Zebra provides a data-driven employee assessment platform for businesses, helping them identify and assess the soft skills required for success within each employee role. Once a role is assessed, the platform generates bespoke measurement tools that can be used by both employers and employees, helping to drive success within workforces without generalized expectations.
Whilst employee success measurement platforms have existed for decades, such solutions generally use a “one size fits all” approach, offering measurements for generic data points such as sales leads or query resolutions. Spotted Zebra, on the other hand, has recognised that customised data points are required to successfully measure the success of each job role, empowering businesses to optimise operations and hire smarter through its platform.
