Job Description

You'll build and ship features that real users touch every day, for a fintech start-up in Epping. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Build and consume REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Pick up tickets from the sprint board and estimate the work
  • Pair with junior developers to unblock them
  • Document how your features work for support and new developers
  • Deploy through a CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab

What you need

  • Good SQL and understanding of relational databases
  • Commercial experience in at least one of PHP, C#, Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Solid Git habits: branches, pull requests and meaningful commit messages
  • Experience writing automated tests
  • You can explain technical choices to non-technical people

Extra points for

  • Public GitHub portfolio or published app
  • Knowledge of secure coding and the OWASP Top 10
  • Cloud certification on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

On offer

  • Laptop and data allowance
  • Hybrid or fully remote work
  • Paid certification exams and learning budget

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Epping really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): list of projects with the tech stack you used on each plus link to your GitHub, GitLab or portfolio.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Epping.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • For each job, name one thing you built and its impact, like "cut checkout load time by 40%".
  • Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
