Senior Full Stack Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our team at Veygo! 

About Veygo 
  
At Veygo our world is learner and temporary pay-as-you-go car insurance. We know people's lifestyles are changing and our pay-as-you-go insurance provides our customers with flexible cover by the hour, day or week, so they can get cover when they need it, and not when they don’t. We're proud to have over 1 million customers and to be backed by Admiral Group, voted Best UK Car Insurance Provider six years in a row by The Personal Finance Awards.  

What you'll be doing

All of our engineers are truly full-stack: We have no time for knowledge silos and we do everything we can to make sure our engineers are able to work on anything, and everything. A typical day in engineering can mean creating infrastructure using Terraform, debugging the inner-workings of one of our Python applications or writing a shiny new React component for use in our quote engine.

Our pace is fast and the days are varied, but the work is energetic and very rewarding. Expect to collaborate with other departments across the brand from marketing to customer service, and data to claims.

Main Duties

• Develop backend services, using Python and Django
• Develop modern front end websites, using TypeScript, React and Redux
• Build Infrastructure, using Terraform and cloud services such as AWS
• Deploy your code to production and support it
• Design REST APIs
• Champion best practices like automated testing and continuous deployment
• Share knowledge by pair programming, show and tell sessions
• Play an active role in agile ceremonies like retrospectives and sprint planning

You should apply if you:  

• Have experience in AWS. You are comfortable in working from a high-level architecture to flush out the design and contribute to the implementation of integration solutions on this platform using REST.
• Have experience in Python/Typescript, particularly from a server-side perspective but are also capable of applying your skillset to client technologies and frameworks when the opportunity arises.
• Are comfortable in exploring problem statements and working through issues with a variety of non-technical colleagues.
• Are equally comfortable in taking on any agile ceremony activities when you see a gap or adapting to the team’s immediate capability needs to deliver.
