Position at RetailMeNot

With over 15,000 five-star reviews, VoucherCodes is the UK's biggest and most trusted voucher site. Partnered with big brands like adidas, Samsung, John Lewis, Travelodge and Domino's Pizza, we receive over 8 million visits per month. Right now, we're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead and inspire a team of talented engineers while delivering extensive individual contributions.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll be instrumental in shaping our technical landscape and driving innovation. We're seeking someone who can balance hands-on coding with strategic thinking, ensuring we're building scalable, reliable systems that meet our users' needs. Your expertise in software engineering best practices will be crucial as you champion code quality, system design, and technical excellence across the organisation.

While primarily a backend role, you will play a hands-on role in the engineering team, working closely with product and other engineering leaders; you will plan and deliver multi-year projects, develop technical roadmaps, contribute to architectural decisions, influence others in technical decision-making and technology adoption within your domain.

You'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, lead large cross-functional teams, present your work directly to the VoucherCodes Leadership Team, and share best practices with international counterparts in the US.

What we need from you

10+ years of professional software engineering experience
Proven track record of leading and delivering multi-year, multi-team projects
Deep knowledge of multiple technologies, including PHP, MySQL, TypeScript
Experience with Nuxt, Vue.js, Docker, Kubernetes to collaborate with other teams
Beneficial to have experience with gRPC & Protocol Buffers
Experience with cloud technologies such as AWS
Experience with scalable and reliable system design
Strong understanding of software engineering best practices and design patterns
Excellent problem-solving skills with a holistic approach
Proven ability to mentor and develop other engineers
Strong communication and leadership skills

What you’ll be doing

Helping define our architecture as we look to move away from PHP
Influencing the technical decision-making and technology adoption
Providing technical mentorship to team members
Making high-velocity contributions across multiple technical domains
Approach problem-solving holistically, considering solutions through a combination of technology and process
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to align technical initiatives with business goals
Staying up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends

What you’ll get from us:

A supportive, inclusive culture; we care about each other, our customers and our planet
Two uninterrupted hours a week dedicated to your personal development
The flexibility to get that perfect work/life balance with hybrid working
Private medical insurance
Employee Assistance Programme
Free lunch from JustEat for Business each day you’re in the office
Regular social events
Enhanced parental leave

Join us at our bright, spacious open-plan office. Situated in the heart of London, we occupy all three floors of Yeoman House in Clerkenwell. The area is home to a wonderful array of cafés, restaurants, pubs and galleries. For the more adventurous, there's some of the best street food London has to offer right on our doorstep. We don’t expect you to be in the office every day - there’s plenty of flexibility so you can achieve a great work/life balance.

So, what's next?

To apply, please send us your CV with a 200-300 word covering letter outlining why this role and VoucherCodes appeal to you (remember we’ll also have your CV so use this space to tell us what you’re excited about rather than what you’ve already achieved).
