Manchester, United Kingdom FORT Full time

The Opportunity

Our client was founded in 2009 as a response to the dissatisfaction with available customer relationship management services. They identified a gap where existing solutions were either overly simplistic or excessively complex for the majority of businesses. Their goal is to offer a rejuvenated experience for business owners—a contemporary CRM that fosters organisation, maximises sales potential, and delivers excellent user experience along with outstanding customer support.

The Why? (TOP 3 as we could put far more in there)

  • Real opportunity to grow and scale your own team.
  • Chance to join a rapidly growing business.
  • Work in a technically exciting environment alongside like-minded individuals.

The What?

Our client are looking for a Back-end Engineering Lead who has experience managing a small team of developers but also has the desire to take on more responsibility and a passion for leadership. The role still involves cutting code so the ideal candidate will be technically driven. Our client's CRM system is built in Scala, however experience in this framework isn't necessary but just an ability and willingness to learn new technology is desired. There is also opportunity to be involved in the EmberJS front-end development too if this is more suitable.

This role is on a hybrid basis, based in their Manchester office 2/3 days a week. This promotes a healthy work/life balance as well as offering flexible working hours.

The Benefits (skinny)

  • Hybrid/Flexi hours
  • Choice of company smartphone
  • Private medical, dental and optical insurance
  • Pension scheme with generous matched contributions
  • & more

And finally.. Who are we?
