Backend Engineer

LUSH Global Digital Ltd

London

Our team of engineers at Lush Global Digital design, build, and operate a global scale service oriented cloud architecture for our Digital, Retail, and Manufacturing businesses. We’re looking for Engineers to help us create the foundation for a distributed, API-driven microservice system to automate our business.

What you’ll do:

  • Build and ship amazing new digital experiences and the micro-services that will support them.
  • Collaborate with engineers, QAs, coaches, and designers to solve interesting and challenging problems for delivering scalable technology worldwide.
  • Be a valued member of an autonomous, multi-functional agile team.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers in other disciplines.
  • Write clear, maintainable code that will scale across projects and distributed development teams.

Who you are:

  • Have extensive experience working hands-on as a Software Engineer in an agile environment.
  • Are able to translate product or business requirements into technological initiatives.
  • Possess a solid foundation of sound engineering practices.
  • You actively invest in your technical skills abilities.
  • You are proficient in one or more of the following database systems: MySQL, MariaDB, Cassandra, Postgres/CockroachDB, Spanner, MongoDB or CouchDB.
  • You take initiative in building and shipping high quality code.
  • You have experience in identifying, debugging, and resolving issues.

We're hiring for people at all skill levels, and will bring you up on any technologies you'll need to know to do your best work with us.

Why Lush?
We’ve worked hard on our technical perks to ensure we’re giving our team members a great quality of work life. These perks include 20% time, quarterly hackathons, a tech stack you can steer, flexible working and inspirational trips.

We like to give something back
20% time is equivalent to 1 day per week (we're trying Fridays), where we all work on personal projects that are way off the company roadmap. It was popularised by Google, whose team created - among other things - Maps, Docs, Gmail, AdSense and News, all in their 20% time; a product lineup that represents 50% of their major product offering.

Flexible working
We work the hours that suit us and work from home when we want to.

As we pride ourselves on internal development, priority will be given to candidates who have an in depth knowledge of Lush coupled with the relevant experience and qualifications.

If all this sounds like you please send us your CV and covering letter, detailing why you would be a perfect fit for the role along with your current salary and expectations.

Closing date: 31st July 2019
