THE ROLE:

To support the scaling of our subscription-based e-commerce, we’re currently looking for hands-on engineers to join our entrepreneurial tech team. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of transforming and scaling up Oddbox and supporting the drivers of our success.
You will work as an integral part of our engineering team, supporting and collaborating with our Engineering team, Product team and our software agency, to shape and build our technologies and experiences.
While you’ll need some experience as an Engineer, we’re pretty open to which languages and disciplines you’re familiar with. As a guide, our tech stack currently consists of technologies and frameworks such as Python, Django, Typescript, React, Gatsby and Next.js, and we utilise AWS serverless technologies like Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway and SNS/SQS.
While we appreciate that people will naturally gravitate towards specific technical disciplines, we want to foster an environment where engineers are comfortable working across frontend, backend, and the underlying platform infrastructure, and you will of course be supported by learning & development opportunities to help you grow your skills.

YOU’LL BE GREAT IN THIS ROLE IF YOU ARE:

Pragmatic - you understand that software delivery is a balancing act.
Focussed on delivery - you measure success in shipping high-quality software, not just writing it.
Curious - you are problem-led and want to understand the domain and requirements to inform solutions.
Collaborative - you can work independently but know when to bring certain discussions and decisions to the wider group.
Communicative - you can switch between in-the-details technical discussions to a high-level view depending on your audience.

THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE ROLE FOR YOU IF:

You haven’t yet worked in a commercial environment
You don’t enjoy working collaboratively
