Join a mission-driven, people-first startup building better ways for global brands to work with global retailers.
At VST, we’re on a mission to transform how massive brands like Mars, Coca-Cola, and Unilever collaborate with retailers, through smart tech and better data. We’re a venture-backed startup with solid foundations and a lot of ambition — and we’re growing our team.
We’re now looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with strong TypeScript experience to join our collaborative, curious, and kind team. You’ll work across the full stack to build products that customers actually love — shipping fast, thinking deeply, and owning your craft.
Diversity & Belonging at VST
We believe building great software starts with diverse thinking, lived experiences, and inclusive culture. We’re proud to be building a team where different perspectives aren’t just welcomed — they’re essential. Whether you’ve followed a traditional path or not, we encourage people of all backgrounds, identities, and communities to apply.
🧠 What You'll Work On
We’re building a powerful enterprise web app powered by big, proprietary datasets. Some things you might tackle in your first year:
* Scale and refine our product to serve large enterprise users
* Contribute to customer-facing features using React, Node.js, GraphQL, and Postgres
* Improve performance and reliability across our data-heavy frontend
* Join user interviews and work closely with design to make thoughtful, human-focused UX decisions
* Take part in shaping the engineering culture, practices, and mentorship
* Explore opportunities to expand your impact into areas like infrastructure, security, and hiring
👣 What Your First Year Might Look Like
* 30 Days: You’ve shipped your first changes, paired with the team, and contributed to real customer impact.
* 60 Days: You’re leading initiatives, jumping into user interviews, and making smart suggestions to level up our stack and practices.
* 90 Days: You’ve delivered major features, participated in architectural decisions, and helped interview future teammates.
* 6–12 Months: You’ve owned big, business-critical projects, mentored others, and become a cultural leader in the team.
✅ What We’re Looking For
We’re open-minded about your background — whether you've worked in startups, agencies, or enterprise. What matters to us is that you:
* Are strong in full stack TypeScript, with real-world experience in React and Node.js
* Are comfortable in fast-moving, semi-structured environments
* Care about the details — from data modeling and testing to UI polish and user experience
* Can empathise with customers, not just code for them
* Communicate clearly and collaborate across disciplines
* Have a broad sense of ownership: you ship, test, debug, and iterate
🛠️ Our Stack
* Frontend: React, TypeScript, Effect-Rx, Styled Components, Storybook, Apollo GraphQL
* Backend: Node.js, Effect-TS, Postgres (Prisma), Redis, Snowflake,
* Infra: Docker, Pulumi, Kubernetes (Digital Ocean), CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Netlify
* Tools: Linear, Slack, Notion
💼 What You’ll Get
* Autonomy + ownership in a fast-growing product team
* A hybrid setup remote( join us in our East London)
* A clear growth path with opportunities to lead projects and shape the product roadmap
* A great comp package:
* Competitive salary
* End-of-year bonus
* Share options with fair terms
* Sales referral bonus
* Top-tier equipment (M-series MBP or whatever helps you do your best work)
* We’re currently hiring for this role based in London, with 2–3 days a week in the office (Old Street) and flexibility around that.
* Travel opportunities to meet clients (if you want them!)
* Minimal bureaucracy with maximum clarity — we aim to keep things simple, honest, and human
