W
hat you'll be getting up to:
We're looking for someone with strong front‐end skills who is familiar with a modern component framework like React or Vue, with experience in a back‐end framework like NextJS (preferably) and Express. When it comes to being successful at Sportserve, there's more to it than just being really good at the technical stuff. It's also your ability to be an awesome problem solver.

And here's the thing, we totally get that we can't all be experts in everything, right? So, it's all about having that thirst for knowledge and being passionate about learning. You know great architecture and design when you see it, so if something seems off, you won't rest until you've figured out what's going on.

We see ourselves as a cool group of people who love coming up with new ideas and making things happen. As long as you have a true passion for creating awesome stuff, you'll fit right in.

You'd spend most of your time developing new exciting projects, for example:

  • Building a new front-facing and back-office application from scratch
  • Taking part in new payment provider integrations
  • Architecture and developing new features
  • Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations
  • Meeting business stakeholders to understand the problems they wish to address
  • You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on challenging problems and prototyping different ideas.
  • You wouldn't be just churning through tickets in the backlog — you'd be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we're even building and why.

While being a somewhat big company, we're split into small teams which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. We're looking for a programmer, but you'd also help out with things like:

  • Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make
  • Maintaining the ownership of our product, and assisting in troubleshooting production incidents
  • Take part in OOH on-call application support rota

List of skills we think you need:

  • JavaScript
  • Typescript
  • React
  • JS package managers (NPM, Yarn, pnpm)
  • Git (branching, creating pull requests, resolving merge conflict)
  • Bash and Linux in general, SSH
  • HTTP and REST
  • SQL and RDBMS schema design and performance optimisation

Tools we think you need to be familiar with:

  • Babel
  • Eslint
  • Jest
  • Webpack
  • K8 & Docker & docker-compose
  • Gitlab with CI/CD
  • TailwindCSS
  • OpenAPI
  • RESTful API design
  • Markdown (for documentation)
  • Experience with Kibana and Grafana

R
equirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or any related technical field.
  • 5+ years of relevant work experience
  • Excellent command of the English language - written & spoken.
  • Attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Collaborative team player.
  • We warmly invite applications in English.
