  • They’re an exciting AI/ML/Data Science company specialising in making intelligent decisions and predictions around content, at their core, with a number of innovative commercial products/platforms.
  • They’re a Scale-Up (way past start-up phase) and growing rapidly in terms of revenue, and customer base. This explains the demand for needing to scale up the development team.

  • On a sprint-cycle basis are agile meetings such as planning, and so on.

  • There's a greater requirement for frontend work than ever before, so you will need to be able to think on your feet in this fast-paced environment. It would be beneficial if you already have experience with a start-up company, but this is not an essential requirement.

    Requirements and skills:

  • 5+ years in frontend development
  • Frontend frameworks and tools - Angular, webpack, rxjs, karma, npm
  • Automation testing within the frontend codebase (i.e: jest, mocha, cypress)
  • TypeScript experience

  • cool offices with free parking provided (if you choose to come into the office),
  • £75 monthly phone allowance
  • 50% staff discount at the onsite cafe,
  • 6 (30 days) weeks holidays per calendar year PLUS UK bank holidays

    Tasks

    The role

    You would initially be leading a dedicated team of two with aim to expand the team beyond that. You would have complete technical oversight of the front-end function, take a lead on strategic decisions for your team and get to build on your mentoring/managing skills.

    Most recently, our front-end team have graphed the connections between key people (investors, C-suite etc) and created interactive charts that can be filtered/exported in real time. For many of our clients, these features have been business critical.

  • Improving our “advanced search” interface builder in Vue, making it easier for clients to search through the data on companies

  • Integrating customisation to the graphs/reports that users can generate
  • Rolling out greater use of Vue component architecture
  • Working alongside out in house designers to implement a brand refresh

  • Line managing and mentoring others in the team, helping with personal development plans and assisting with training
  • Hiring and onboarding of new members into your squad

    Requirements

    About you

    There’s no ‘one size fits all’ with the profile that we’re looking for, but you should broadly meet the following criteria:

  • 4 years+ of front-end web development experience
  • Experience in Vue/React or another modern JS framework with an emphasis on good architecture of code
  • Experience building, maintaining or modifying build systems (eg. Webpack, Parcel, Rollup, Grunt)
  • Ability to write maintainable CSS (with SCSS/Sass) supporting mobile and desktop
  • Mentoring/management experience

    On the personal side, you will ideally be:

  • Diplomatic: you are good at explaining the rationale behind your ideas/suggestions and consider the merits of different opinions when deciding on the best way forward
  • Collaborative: you enjoy working within a close-knit team dynamic
  • Strategic: you consider the commercial and practical implications of your ideas when developing long-term plans
  • Friendly: get ready to share in-jokes & chat nonsense with others in the team!

    Benefits

    Our offer

    We’re offering a competitive starting salary of £50-55k (DOE) as well as a load of additional benefits.

    Also worth noting that this is an office based role but we’re pretty flexible, we’re happy for you to work 2 days from home if you want (but obviously can do more from home during the pandemic!).

  • Options: A stake in the company, so you can share in the growth you help create
  • Wellbeing: Access to our coaches & counsellors if/when you need it
  • Training: Structured onboarding, regular training & external events and conferences

  • Talks: Listen to an array of speakers in the office - from business owners to mental health experts & more!
  • Books: You can order any relevant(ish) books you like (technical or otherwise), we also host regular book club evenings across the company
  • Travel loans: Commute for less (post-covid) with our rail season ticket loan and cycle to work schemes

    Apply!

    To apply please submit:

  • Your updated CV
  • A cover letter telling us what excites you about the role and Beauhurst!
