Hola, we are On the Beach, and we have an exciting new opportunity for a junior (SE1) engineer, to join the Channels and Content team. This team is responsible for new customer acquisition and retention through marketing tech, SEO and landing pages. ‘Channels’ (as we call them), also own the content management system (CMS) and meta data systems powering the content across all frontend experiences. Pleased to meet ‘you’ You, are early in your Software Engineer journey, with between 1 and 3 years of commercial software experience. We run a supportive and collaborative environment to which we would be thrilled to add you into and learn from. We still expect you to produce high quality, well tested code delivered into production, initially under the guidance of others, but will support your individual growth and trajectory to become an autonomous valued independent contributor. Our stack is a mixture of javascript (and typescript) using react and next.js, graphQL, running on Kubernetes in AWS. We use the Contentful headless CMS system. An ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience with some, or all, of these eco systems. But more importantly, you must enjoy creating lovable and innovative customer experiences and have a desire to work with a variety of languages. You will be working closely with teams from marketing, product, user research and design, data science and platforms, and the business itself. We value agility and pragmatism and see benefit that comes from differing perspectives and approaches to make our teams awesome. Responsibilities include: Working closely with other engineers, designers, researchers, backend teams and our product managers throughout the software development lifecycle to ensure our products are delivered to the highest standards. Be an owner; we are a full stack team designing, delivering and owning our operational footprint. Support the team taking product designs and turn them into tech designs. Estimate, deliver, test them and deliver into customer’s hands. And then roll up your sleeves to use the data to propose hypotheses and adapt/learn from there. You will need to get hands-on and opinionated on everything from design, code quality, testing, CD tooling, infrastructure-as-code, metrics and dashboards to API design and how to build highly efficient customer experiences that work across all major browsers and mobile devices. A bout you We ask that you’re as passionate about Software Development as we are The skills you will bring to the beach JavaScript and TypeScript JavaScript testing (we use Jest and Cypress, but any is fine), and testing in general Git and CI/CD pipelines (we use GitLab for both) API definition and implementation AWS The ideal candidate also has experience with: Contentful/headless CMS systems React js / React Native C# / .Net Graph QL Mobile dev experience Large scale system design and implementation Crafting high performance, low latency UI experiences Experience in object-oriented and functional software development, with excellent problem-solving skills Metrics, monitors and operational health What to expect from our interview process We will have a multi-stage interview process to ensure all important questions get answered, both for us and for you. The starting point is a call with our People Team, followed by a take home Technical Assessment, (nothing to fear) it’s a simple way for us to understand how you break apart problems and think about solutions. The same test is used for all role levels and is a rough way for us to gauge that you are working at the right level for the role you have applied for. From here, we will start the two-stage interview process: the first part is focussed on technology and the second on customers and product. These sessions will either be on Teams, or at the office, and your preference will be considered. We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to perform at their best. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process, please let the People team know and they will be happy to assist.
