Job summary: We're looking for a smart, experienced and enthusiastic Senior Software Engineer to join our London team at the early stages of our journey, building the UK's best car buying experience. We recently launched our platform, built with a truly modern tool-chain: a fully serverless, event driven architecture with React on the front end and Typescript used throughout. The vision for Cazoo engineering is to build a world-class engineering culture and as a senior software engineer, you'll be playing a key role in that mission.

It's important that you have strong communication skills, sound decision-making capabilities and a genuinely innovative outlook. Key skills and experience required: We are primarily looking for software engineers to join our teams who are humble, enthusiastic and innovative who are keen to work effectively with others as part of a team. * You have a senior engineering background delivering high quality applications of significant scale/complexity using any object-oriented language (such as Javascript, Typescript, Java, Python or C#)and any front-end framework, with a strong preference for previous exposure to React. * You are confident in your application design and architecture skills and have a strong handle on micro-design including dependency flow, clean code and object composition * You have extensive experience with modern software development practices such as TDD, CI/CD and a DevSecOps mindset. * You are comfortable moving between front-end and back-end technologies, even if one of these domains is not your core expertise. * You can demonstrate how you have supported the effective development of other engineers through coaching and mentoring. And last but certainly not least - someone with a sizable appetite for learning and self-development, with a fun and sociable side! If you're excited by working in a greenfield environment, are customer obsessed and want to be part of building an amazing brand - we'd love to talk to you! What you'll get from us: * This is an opportunity for you to be involved in building cutting edge solutions and supporting a culture of engineering excellence, working on entirely greenfield projects at a well funded startup. * You will be supported by a coaching team, which includes international conference speakers, dedicated to supporting your development and helping you achieve your goals. The coaches cover technical, quality and agile delivery aspects. * You will be joining a growing, self-organising team, and will have the freedom to decide the most efficient way to work together and get the job done. Our teams and engineers do not work in silos, as such you will be given opportunities to use or develop skills outside of your core skill set too. * At Cazoo, you will be an integral part of a team creating a highly visible and tangible product that's seeking to change and replace a painful process that almost everyone must contend with at some point in their life. * Given the growth we expect to see over the next few years there will undoubtedly be opportunities to progress your career.
