We’re looking for two Software Engineers to join us to develop serverless systems using Node and TypeScript.

We’ll provide you with career and technical coaching to support your learning and development, and we run communities of practice to promote knowledge-sharing across our teams.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Work collaboratively to build, maintain, and support Co-op applications and systems
• Develop software iteratively and to a high standard
• Share your knowledge and skills with colleagues as part of our communities of practice sessions
• Provide guidance and support to our more junior Software Engineers and the wider team
• Resolve technical challenges; making sure that solutions meet our business needs

THIS ROLE WOULD SUIT PEOPLE WHO HAVE

• Experience in a hands-on Software Engineering role; implementing and maintaining applications and services in a serverless environment
• Experience of tooling and practices for automated build, integration, and deployment, as well as developing iteratively towards and end-goal
• Good programming skills, with experience building REST APIs or event driven systems in Node and TypeScript, and working with hosting services such as Azure or AWS
• Good collaboration skills, with the ability to work in pairs and/or ensembles and with TDD
  We know that some candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t meet all the criteria in the job description. At Co-op, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you’d like to apply for this role but your experience doesn’t quite meet every point, we’d still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.
