The Opportunity

VoucherCodes, a key part of the company Shopping, is looking for a Software Engineer II to join our Engineering team in London. In this hybrid role, you will join a collaborative squad of over 25 UK-based engineers within a global team of 50+, reporting to an Engineering Manager. You will play a vital role in our full-stack agile teams, partnering closely with Product, UI, and Backend engineers to deliver the best possible experience to our 8 million monthly visitors. This is a great chance to lead high-impact projects and deliver across the stack.

Our back-end stack consists of TypeScript (Node), GraphQL, PHP & MySQL. The infrastructure is hosted on AWS, making use of multiple services. Our front-end tech stack consists mostly of TypeScript, Vue, Nuxt & Tailwind.

We don't expect you to be in the office every day, but we really value in-person collaboration. Every team has a designated day each week where they attend the office together. You are free to attend more than once per week, but this is the minimum requirement.
