Job Description
The amazing team at Leafe are excited to announce that we are expanding our team! We’re looking for Software Engineer to join our team in central Bristol. We’re a food-tech start up looking to make chefs' and hospitality people’s lives less stressful by allowing them to manage their entire operation from one easy-to-use app.
As a Software Engineer, you will be working as part of a small team of 4 and reporting directly to the CTO. You will be using a range of modern and exciting technologies, such as Flutter and Firebase to build and maintain robust and scalable software solutions. You will be working on a wide range of projects including frontend, backend and DevOps, thus developing your skills as a Full-Stack engineer. You will also have the chance to carry out research and lead independent projects.
While we focus mainly on tech solutions, we have deep roots in hospitality (half of our founding team are chefs themselves!). This in mind, we wanted to create an approach to doing what we do that retains all the good parts of working in the hospitality industry, without any of the drawbacks. That means focusing on things like adapting to fit what is needed to help out the rest of the team, working as hard as we can to create the best product for our customers, and most importantly, keeping corporate smoke-and-mirrors to an absolute minimum. It also means making sure your mental health is prioritised, and that you are well rested and rewarded for your work with us.

Preferred Requirements:

* Experience working with cloud technologies.
* Experience designing and developing large-scale, distributed software applications and services.
* An understanding of distributed and high-volume systems and architecture patterns.
