Fullstack Engineer

About us:

YunoJuno powers The Future of Work. What started as a platform to connect the best freelancers with forward-thinking companies has now redefined how businesses source and manage their entire contingent workforce. Whether it’s building a new department at a creative startup or building an enterprise solution for the world’s largest communications network, we use technology to power the freelance revolution.

About the role:

We’re looking for a delivery-focused Fullstack Engineer that would enjoy improving a product that over the years has helped our freelancers clients deliver hundreds of thousands of successful projects together.

Our product team is small (~15) but growing fast and you'd be working alongside a team that put collaboration, the product transparency first. We run a blameless environment where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities and one where developers own their code all the way through to production.

Our team is remote-first and we work asynchronously where we can. However, we do have an office and if you’re in London we like to meet once every 3 weeks.

This role could be a good option if you know your way around modern full-stack web applications, and understand how they fundamentally communicate. You will have some backend development experience in Python GraphQL. If you don’t feel like you have this but are keen to learn then do get in touch- as this is a major part of how we work at YunoJuno. You’ll use your knowledge to understand our business priorities and participate in feature design from the outset.

You’ll spend your time:

planning code (and no code!) solutions to aid in our long term goals of becoming the best freelancer marketplace globally. All product work is on the platform itself, and not the marketing site.

Owning the development process of specific front-end features all the way through from the design stage, to evaluating their use in production in multiple browser configurations.

Working on code individually or via pairing, if pairing then reviews will go through faster but we’re not strict and favour personal preference.

Ensuring we keep our DORA metrics amongst the best in the industry so that we keep our time-to-ship low, and developer happiness high.

Working in a CI-backed environment, in small teams, at a sustainable pace, in three-week cycles. We use Linear internally and follow their opinionated development process.

Frequently self-reflecting as a team as to how we’re doing in some very honest retrospectives.

You should apply if you:

• Have experience working on fullstack heavy applications, in particular React. Experience or a strong desire to work with SaaS products would be a bonus.

• Have experience with Typescript and appreciate the ethos behind a type safe environment

• Have experience working with remote distributed teams, and the async communication and working patterns that come with that.

• Have a good oral written handling of English, to help with the above.

• Believe that code reviews should be a learning process for everyone involved.

• Believe testing and code quality are important.

• Have a deep understanding of how the web and browsers work.

• Are happier shipping features than debating tabs vs spaces, (we use ruff prettier throughout!)

• Prefer to move quickly and iteratively, and believe that shipping incrementally and fast is best.

• Are comfortable with Git, GitHub and CI workflows.

• Like to start new things as much as you like to replace old ones, and continuously learn from both your and the team’s mistakes.

We’d especially love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working with Django or other web applications, in particular Python ones.

• Have ever been a contractor/freelancer, and thus have a true understanding of the problems we are trying to solve for our users. We are very open to contractors looking to move full time.

• Have worked with large React codebases.

• Understand and know how to work with both RESTful APIs GraphQL (we are migrating to the latter).

• Have experience with GitHub Actions specifically.

• Have worked with Heroku and/or Docker, our current deployment mechanics.

• Have a good understanding of security (XSS in particular) when it comes to web apps.

• But these are not concrete requirements - if you think you'd be a good match for us, we'd love to know why.
