Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

You will work within a small team where you will pair-program (we operate using the extreme programming framework) to:

  • Build resilient and adaptable fintech platforms and components in Java
  • Refactor to improve code design
  • Write lots of tests (every one of our commits is continuously and rapidly verified by thousands of tests)
  • Automate the boring bits

Features of the way we work:

  • We avoid silos by regularly rotating between teams to work on the whole system with an Our Code not My Code mindset and approach
  • We practice trunk-based development and continuous integration: we treat every commit as releasable
  • We treat broken tests as failures and revert where possible
  • We practice TDD, BDD and DDD
  • We automate as much as possible
  • We pair program to ensure that everyone understands the context of what they are working on. We also believe that pairing drives quality, learning, cross-skilling, and builds empathy with other developers
  • Sometimes we have to care about throughput and latency and so take this into account when writing code
  • See Dave Farley walk through how our CI pipeline works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKHdp4H-8w

Our needs:

We are growing the team and are keen to encourage diversity of domain experience and background. We’re open-minded about your path to becoming a developer: we don’t require any particular academic or specific work experience, but we do expect you to have written code in a commercial setting. Our junior positions are targeted at early-career developers who are keen to broaden and deepen their technical skills and understanding of sound development practices.

Above all, you will:

  • Be happy to pair-program full-time and have some Java experience
  • Be able to communicate opinions, ideas and thought processes clearly
  • Be keen to continuously learn new and better ways of solving problems
