The Position





we’re developing V2 of our offering (we’re around 6 months in) based on the knowledge we’ve gained over the previous years, as such this is very much a greenfield style project where you wont be held back by legacy code and instead have the opportunity to shape the product going forward. This is a full time role





How we work





Whilst we have an office in London the dev team is based remotely over the UK and broadly follow an agile approach to working, including





Daily standups over Zoom

Sprint planning/retrospectives

Code reviews

Show and tell/sprint demos





You need to be available/online during standard office hours, ideally UK based but we will consider anyone 2 hours around GMT and be able to come down to our UK office (where appropriate) once every few months (we’ll pay for your travel) for everything from catchups with other parts of the business, planning/architecture sessions as well as some more fun activities- we’ve recently had company outings to escape rooms, VR gaming sessions and outdoor bowls (we are a sports startup after all!)





What we’re looking for





You’ll need experience of modern PHP practices (via Laravel, Symfony etc), git workflows and real world testing experience (phpunit/dusk) but more importantly an easy going nature (no prima donnas/rockstars please) and self starter attitude – you will have a high degree of autonomy in your day to day work as well as development decisions – we don’t like to micro-manage.





What we offer





We’ll supply hardware of your choice (windows/macbook/linux etc)

Ability to decide on tooling that you use day to day – sublime/phpstorm, sourcetree/kraken etc

No deploy Fridays – we use Friday afternoons to scratch your own itch on other parts of the codebase you feel might need improvement or to improve your own knowledge in other related tech stacks

Access to learning materials (udemy/laracasts etc) or conferences – we recently sent all devs to Laravel Live UK including hotels





Nice to haves





Experience in React a big plus

Eye for design – we don’t need to create UIs from scratch but ideally you would be able to create new pages based on other designs

Willingness to look at other tech stacks e.g react native, go, electron etc





Day to day tasks





As with any startup the work is varied, but here’s a random selection of things we’ve recently been working on





working with NFC readers/wristbands as well as turnstiles/gates for access control

Creating API endpoints for our booking widgets

Creating a theming system to handle out white label offerings

Handling contactless payments via websockets

Point of sale module with a react frontend built for touch screens





Tech stack/approach





The main stack at the moment is:





Laravel 5.7,









Redis









Bootstrap 4









GitHub









React / react native









Circle CI build process









Docker /docker swarm for development and production
