Get the right balance between beautiful code, and getting things done.</li></ul>The RoleWe’re changing the way hiring is done for good and need to scale our engineering team to build great features for users on an infrastructure that's fit to scale with us. We want to build a platform that's as much of a pleasure to work on as a developer as it is to use as a customer!We have a great starting point: 100s of customers that love us, a mature and easy deployment process, good test setups, nice infrastructure (Lambda, Fargate, ECS, Terraform, Elasticsearch...) and a nice tech stack (Node.js, Vue). We have big plans to ensure scalability and developer experience - decoupling as much as we can, moving to Typescript to help us write safe code easily and using functional approaches to ramp up modularity and maintainability.In your first 6 months at Applied you'll:<ul><li> Make big contributions to our product. You'll be deploying to production on day one and getting stuck into our scrum process from the very start.</li><li> Be involved in product design - as engineers we care about our users and work closely throughout the product design process to ensure we deliver great features quickly.</li><li> Get to know (and work on) the entire product + infrastructure.</li><li> Work to improve our infrastructure, tooling and tech stack.</li><li> Shape our process - we love a good retro and continually inspecting and improving how we work is core to how we work as a team.</li></ul>You'll benefit from:<ul><li> Equity in the business</li><li> Wellbeing benefit and access to Spill</li><li> Remote working budget</li><li> Internet stipend</li><li> Learning &amp; development budget + progression support</li><li> Involved in other aspects of the business, from strategy, management and training, to shaping team culture</li><li> Being part of something that's both commercially successful and socially important</li></ul>We’re working remotely first and finding better options for folks who need an office. Our general aim is to have 2 away days throughout the year so we can all meet in person at least a few times a year.Next StepsOur process is progressive - Instead of submitting a CV, you’ll answer 5 work-related questions. Our goal is to assess your approach to a problem, and better understand what knowledge and skills you have.If you work at Applied, you'll need to search for things, so feel free to do this during the application as it isn’t a test.Your answers will be <a href="https://www.beapplied.com/post/company-treats-engineering-applicants-like-human-beings-you-wont-believe-what-happens-next" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">anonymized, randomized and reviewed by the team</a>. We use these scores to shortlist for interview where we will do a tech design session as a team, a pair programming task and a reverse interview where you get to ask us questions.We also think giving feedback is incredibly valuable for candidates, so at the end of the process you'll see how well you performed during the application process.Right to work: We are open to engineers who live within a 4 hour timezone of London, UK. In these instances, we work with an EOR. However, we do NOT provide visas in order to move to the UK, so please only apply if you have a right to work in the country where you reside in.Expected duration of this application process: 2 months.
