TrustedHousesitters is a global pet care travel exchange; a double sided digital marketplace of owners and sitters that's growing rapidly through our unique combination of product, proposition, marketing and community building.

We've just recently been named as one of the Escape the City's top organisations to work for 2023

Our small but mighty team has a collaborative and supportive culture. We're passionate about pets, people and travel; continuously searching for the win, win, win that makes everyone's lives easier, travel kinder on the pet and enables a more sustainable travel footprint.

We're fully in scale-up mode and have grown to be the only global platform of its kind. In the last few years, we've consistently achieved high year-on-year growth. Thanks to strong tailwinds in the pet and travel industry in the post-Covid world, 2022 has been our strongest year so far. At our marketplace we facilitate the perfect match between pet owners who want to leave their pets in safe hands and pet sitters looking to enjoy the companionship of pets whilst they travel.

We've recently made the transition to a remote-first business, however we've retained a HQ in central Brighton which is available for collaborative working and in-person meet-ups.

You will contribute to ideation and product discovery sessions, providing technical input on the MVP design and implementation of features. You will also work with the Backend Guild and Guild Lead to deliver the backend roadmap.

About our Tech

We have engineers working across a range of technologies: Python (Django/Django Rest Framework), Elasticsearch, MySQL, Docker, AWS (Fargate), React, React Native, Redux, Redux Sagas, styled-components, webpack, and more

Requirements

  • 4 years experience with Python

  • Helping support work on high volume website & app traffic
  • Support of a cross-functional working squad set up
  • You're able to confidently communicate your work developments to cross-functional teams

  • Experience working with Django and Django Rest Framework
  • Sound knowledge of API design

Nice to have

  • Experience working on platforms at scale
  • DevOps experience in an AWS environment
  • Experience with ElasticSearch
