Software engineers at Carwow work on cross-functional product teams of product managers, engineers, designers, and data analysts. You will work closely with a Product Manager and a Tech Lead on deciding what features to build for customers, break down and build features with the team, review code, mentor engineers, ensure operational excellence, and share knowledge broadly across the engineering organisation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• We love solving real-world problems!
• We work quickly, releasing code into production multiple times daily. You’ll see your code go live continuously.
• You’d be part of a growing team building a platform that will help define the future of car buying.
• We’re a curious bunch driven by a common goal of “How can we make it better?
• We work hard to ensure our people have the right level of autonomy, support and sense of purpose to really flourish in their careers.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Please note: We know that no candidate will be the perfect match for all we’ve listed in this posting, so we’d encourage you to apply if you feel you’re close to the brief but not an exact match.

Time spent in software engineering roles is of course important, but we prioritise attitude, aptitude, and the kind of impact you’ve had over years’ experience. Ideally you’ll have:

• Have a good grasp of Ruby, both plain and with frameworks (e.g. Ruby on Rails)
• Enjoy working within a TDD environment
• Like the idea of working on events based systems, for example Kafka
• Are comfortable using git or other source control system proficiently
• Have worked in a metrics-driven team and care about the outcomes of your work.
• Are self-driven and take responsibility for product outcomes, doing whatever’s necessary to make things happen,
• Enjoy working in distributed teams and working cross-functionally with Product managers, designers, user researchers and other developers,
• Write code to be maintained – with good documentation, tests, and structure.
• Are keen to learn continuously, share knowledge, communicate effectively and build a product in close collaboration with others.

You’re not expected to be an expert in all of these technologies and tools, we are happy to support your learning journey. If you’re unsure about any of the above, please apply.
