SalaryReact/Node.js/Typescript/PHP | TDD | Flexible hours | Greenfield Projects
Ada Meher is currently working with a leading company in the Automotive industry, with offices just outside Derby, who are recruiting for a Lead Engineer to lead a small team (2 Devs plus Design) on a new greenfield project to automate some key processes across the business. They have a variety of systems, both internal and external, so following the completion of the greenfield project there will be work in both refactoring older systems and maintenance. The new system will be built using the latest in Typescript and specifically MERN stack with AWS deployments, however the legacy application also includes some PHP/Vue so prior knowledge in this area to help porting over is key.
With an office hub on the outskirts of Derby, they value the sense of collaboration in this space as well as their employee’s autonomy and as such operate a hybrid model requiring a weekly office presence. The client has flexibility and autonomy at the core of their culture, so whilst there is an expectation of an office-based presence they are more than happy to work this around other life commitments to find a solution which suits all.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience working with in JavaScript/Typescript and relevant libraries and frameworks, preferably React/Node, but also prior experience using PHP and a thirst for development and learning as the successful candidate will be given time and support to fill in any gaps in knowledge around the tech stack, provided they can demonstrate this good core development knowledge.
To be considered:
- Demonstrable experience in a JavaScript/Typescript role
- Experience with relevant frameworks/libraries (preferably but not exclusively React/Node.js)
- Prior experience working with PHP (and preferably Laravel)
- Experience mentoring or managing more Junior Developers
- Experience with Unit Testing/TDD is a bonus
The company in question is a market leader not only in the solutions that they provide to their clients internationally but also the technology the work on and the environment they create. They aspire to create a relaxed environment where people can work on forward thinking technology solutions.
