Hi there! Thanks for stopping by đź‘‹
Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!
We are looking for a Lead Engineer to inspire and guide one of our Engineering teams in Newmarket.
Who we are and what we do:
Vend is an award-winning Saas company winning on a global scale. We have over 250 talented people across 5 major markets (US, CA, UK, NZ, AU) working to delight approximately 25,000 awesome retailers worldwide.
đź’š Our mission: help our retailers build thriving businesses, live more fulfilling lives and create experiences that people love.
Engineering @ Vend:
- We build new features on top of a modern stack, consisting of web apps (in a mix of Angular & React) communicating through APIs to Go services, backed by databases and Kafka topics, all deployed using Docker in a continuous delivery cycle to AWS
- You don’t need to have experience in any of our specific technologies: we’re great at teaching good engineers how to use our modern SaaS stack
- We don't follow rigid Scrum or Kanban, but we do work in an agile, iterative way, and try to continuously improve and implement what works for us
- We deploy changes to production every 7 minutes, on average
What you’ll be doing:
- People Leadership: You will be coaching, mentoring, guiding, and motivating a team of engineers from all backgrounds. This includes all aspects of people management including hiring and training team members, and using tools like great 1:1s, peer programming, whiteboarding or training sessions.
- Technical Delivery: You’ll be helping your team deliver code in a high trust environment using continuous delivery, ensuring the team has a great delivery cadence and a strong connection with stakeholders (using demos, retros, blameless incident reviews, and the like). While you won’t be as hands-on with the code as your team are, you’ll still be writing code, helping with code reviews, and fixing bugs; as well as providing technical advice and documentation for systems/processes.
- Planning and architecture: Evaluating the performance of the technical architecture of our infrastructure and adopting industry trends will also be required
What you need to bring:
- You have significant experience with success and failure (“scars”), which help you make better decisions.
- Strong experience in working on major systems in one or more languages.
- Effective at nurturing relationships and managing multiple stakeholders.
Why do you want to work at Vend?
- You can help build an amazing product in a company big enough for growth but lean enough to make a genuine impact
- We will provide you with opportunities to develop your career
- You will be offered a competitive salary
Plus, we have a range of benefits that’ll keep you happy, healthy and (not) hungry:
- Secure, full-time carpark
- Dog-friendly environment
- Free fresh fruits, snacks and drinks (and cake for your birthday!)
- Paid leave and assistance for new parents
- Travel insurance for you and your family
- Vend Share Options scheme
- Four weeks annual leave + extra day over the Christmas holidays
Where to from here?
Obviously, we’re looking to ensure it’s a solid fit from both sides: we want you to step into a role you love, and we want to offer you a place you’re proud to come to every day. For a glimpse into our world, feel free to check out our Instagram here.
