Full Stack Developer (JavaScript/AWS/Frontend JS)

Full Stack Developer (JavaScript/AWS/Frontend JS) - London

GBP 70k basic

My client, UK`s largest award winning News Publisher is looking to hire an enthusiastic and skilled Full Stack Developer to join their technology team. They started a new development team called Emerging Products, which operates entirely lean, innovation-driven, and focuses relentlessly on rapid innovation to discover new business models in the publishing industry.

As a team, they focus on operating entirely lean, being innovation-driven and rapid innovation. Although the product is relatively new, they are in a high growth phase and looking to grow the team so that they can continue producing new innovative features and to integrate the InYourArea platform into the wider business.

Company

This news publisher has an award-winning digital portfolio comprising more than 50 titles and last year they sold 620 million newspapers, with 5.8 million readers of one of their brands each month. Their network of over 70 websites provide 24/7 coverage of news, sport and showbiz stories, with 8.1 billion page views per year.

Key Responsibilities

You will maintain and extend their existing fully isomorphic front end which is built off of a modern React stack consisting of React 16, Flow or Typescript depending on the service, and Webpack 4.

You will also help build out their highly performant server-side rendering framework based on AWS Lambda@Edge. You will also be involved in back end development mostly consisting of REST API`s and AWS Lambda functions, mostly built in Node.js with Redis and DynamoDB as a datastore.

You will also have the opportunity, if you show an aptitude for it, to get involved in native app development (React Native) and/or machine learning (Python)

You will work closely with the Team Leader, Head of Product, Lead Designer and a few other full stack, and data scientists.

They are a small and cohesive team, and they always optimise for shortest time to market, which often results in tech debt being introduced on purpose, and factored out once a feature has been validated. You have to be comfortable with this style of working. They deploy multiple times a day to production.

The Ideal Candidate

You need to be fluent in Javascript, with commercial experience in building applications with either NodeJS, vanilla JS or any Frontend JS frameworks (e.g. Angular, React, Vue). Being fluent in React would be awesome, but if you are experienced with Javascript, we`re perfectly capable of helping you achieve this skill.

Ideally, we are looking for a Fullstack developer, but a Frontend or Backend developer with aspirations to become Full Stack is also welcome to apply. An understanding and preference for Functional Programming are highly desirable, but we can teach you this otherwise. We use AWS extensively, and we provision our own resources (using Cloudformation), so some knowledge of AWS will help. We expect to mentor you in this aspec
