Company mission
To connect millions of smart shoppers with more than 5,000 restaurant, retail, and leisure brands across the UK.
Role
Who you are
- Experience building and improving full-stack systems , including modernising legacy systems (typically acquired over 5+ years)
- Proven track record of leading and delivering large initiatives within a team
- Proficiency in multiple technologies, including PHP 8, Node/TypeScript, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Docker
- Experience with web tools such as React, Vue, server-side rendering (Astro & Nuxt), and modern tooling (Tailwind, TanStack)
- Experience with cloud technologies such as AWS and Google Cloud and optimising resource usage
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform/AWS CDK), monitoring and observability
- Experience with scalable and reliable system design
- Strong understanding of software engineering best practices and design patterns
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Success in leading technical projects end-to-end, mentoring juniors, and negotiating solutions across teams
- Excellent problem-solving skills with a holistic approach
What the job involves
- You’ll split your focus between maintaining/improving our PHP 8.3/MySQL monolith and leading migrations to modern architectures (Node/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React, and serverless techs). This role requires fluency in both legacy and cutting-edge systems
- While backend-leaning, you’ll work across the stack—designing APIs, iterating on backend systems, optimising server-side rendering, building UI components, and collaborating on infrastructure—to deliver systems that balance speed, reliability, and sustainability
- You’ll thrive here if you’re a solution creator who can improve system health and sustainability, mentor junior engineers, and adapt to evolving priorities across teams
- Nurture and grow technical initiatives end-to-end and make high-velocity contributions across multiple technical domains
- Balance “move fast” with “keep the lights on” - no system left behind
- Choose the right tools for the job - we trust your technical judgement
- Influence technical decision-making and technology adoption
- Provide technical mentorship to team members
- Reduce MtCO2e emissions by optimising compute/storage in both legacy and new systems
- Approach problem-solving holistically, considering solutions through a combination of technology and process
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical initiatives with business goals
- Participate in Weekly engineering meetings, quarterly hackathons, and cross-department socials
- Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends
Salary benchmarks
Our take
According to research by VoucherCodes, the average UK shopper saves £180 per year by using discount codes. In total, this means roughly £9 billion is saved by consumers each year.
VoucherCodes pioneered aggregating all these codes in one place, making them a household name among shoppers. The company was acquired by RetailMeNot, which itself has been acquired. They're both now part of MacAndrews & Forbes, a US conglomerate, and the challenge will be to remain dynamic with this more complex ownership structure.
