Overview
Job Description
Engage builds software to make finding, hiring, and paying workers painless. Our platform is used right across the recruitment industry, serving end hirers, recruitment agencies and workers, and we are looking for a new platform engineer to join our super friendly product development team. Team and Culture We're a diverse team of people, both professionally and personally, bringing together a broad range of skill sets, experiences, backgrounds and cultures. We believe this helps us build better products for our diverse user base. It's for this reason that we have built a kind, supportive, inclusive team. We pride ourselves on being flexible and family-friendly - it's not unusual to see a baby in a team meeting. Being your best at work means having balance outside it - if you need to pick the kids up from school, visit a sick relative, or just want to walk the dog while the sun is shining, that's part of life. We expect you to work sensible hours and take your holidays. Engineering is spread across Europe, because we believe you can ship great software from anywhere. Our office is in London, where some of our product development team is based, including Product Management and Design - remote brainstorming can be really hard. We live in Slack, remote people come to London regularly, and we work very hard to make everyone feel included.

This will allow us, as a team, to maximise our coverage of the hours worked by product engineers. Benefits * Competitive salary * Paid holidays * Share options * Apple or Linux equipment * Occasional travel and accommodation in London How to apply If you think you're a good fit for this role, send us a covering email along with your CV, we really want to get to know you!
