After recently expanding into the UK market, we are looking to hire new engineers to join our team in London.
You will play a key role as part of our growing Engineering team working to build a polished experience for our customers while also scaling the systems required to operate the business.

* Take responsibility for delivering functionality from concept through to production release and post-release maintenance
* Produce work that meets the expected level of test coverage and improve test coverage across the existing codebase
* Provide detailed code reviews to colleagues, sharing your knowledge and ensuring that standards are maintained
* Help design the architecture of new features and present this back to the team for feedback
* Collaborate with and support other members of the wider Hnry team
* Act as a mentor and provide support to more junior developers on the team
🫵 You will

Bonus points for the following:
* Experience building large scale systems
* Experience being self-employed (freelancing, contracting etc) in any industry/profession
💪 How we work
* We follow agile practices, delivering improvements iteratively in small chunks. We track the impact of our work and measure ourselves on results, not the amount of code written.
* We’re growing fast, and are focused on building a well designed, scalable & robust platform. In some areas of the work (e.g. payment processing) there is very little margin for error.
* Our technology platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres, Docker, and a little bit of React.
* We have automated tests, continuous deployment, and release to production multiple times per day.
* We review each others code, and set aside time for hacking on experimental features, refactoring and/or learning new things.
* We work hard and finish on time, no crazy hours.
