Manchester, United Kingdom Capsule Full time

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

About Capsule

Capsule launched in 2009 following the founders' frustration with existing customer relationship management (CRM) services that were either too simple or too complex for most businesses.

We have thousands of customers in the UK and have started moving into other international markets with teams in the US, South America and Europe. Some of our customers have a couple of users but others have over 200 users using Capsule to service all their sales and marketing requirements from one place.

We're bringing a fresh experience to business owners; a modern CRM and marketing platform that helps businesses stay organised, optimise sales opportunities and run marketing campaigns while providing a great user experience and fantastic customer support.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join our next stage of growth at Capsule.

As a Senior Software Developer, you'll work in one of our cross-functional Product Delivery teams focusing on the technical direction and execution of our product development roadmap.

We're seeking an experienced, hands-on developer, who is happy cutting code but also enjoys supporting other team members and collaborating with the wider development community on best practice.

Our main code base is Scala but if you have a Java background and an interest in learning new programming languages, this role could be perfect for you.

How We Work

Working with the latest kit, you'll develop your code in GitHub feature branches and pull requests regularly merged into the main code line and shipped to customers frequently. We're constantly improving Capsule and gaining this quick feedback from real users is important for agile product development.

Your DevOps toolkit includes access to unified logging, application performance monitoring, statistics and stack traces from production environments. These tools help us diagnose issues, monitor performance and understand our user's behaviour. Capsule has a comprehensive Jenkins CI environment with an extensive automated test suite, static code analysis, and monitoring for security vulnerabilities.

Capsule deployments are fully automated and releases are shipped to Amazon Web Services. As a result, Capsule's infrastructure and code are performant, reliable and available for our customers 24/7.

So, you'll have more in-depth knowledge of how the entire system works, our development team cycles through week-long stints working with our wonderful Support and Customer Success teams. During these weeks, you'll help resolve technical issues for customers and support third-party developers who are using our API.

Location

At Capsule, everyone has the right to flexible working. Our employees balance working from home with attending our Manchester-based office.

Because of the nature of the role, we'd expect the ideal candidate to have a regular presence in our Manchester office, to work closely with their direct reports and other development team leads.

What would you be doing?

  • Collaborating closely with the Team Lead, Product Owner, and other team members to understand the user needs and priorities.
  • Taking a key role in designing and implementing scalable, robust, and maintainable software solutions to complex problems.
  • Engaging in hands-on development, writing clean, efficient and well tested code.
  • Participating in code reviews and providing constructive feedback to ensure code quality and consistency.
  • Proactively identifying opportunities for product enhancements and improvements.
  • Mentoring junior developers, sharing your knowledge and expertise to help them grow and develop their skills.
  • Contributing to the continuous improvement of our development processes and ways of working, advocating for best practices and innovative solutions.
  • Keeping up-to-date with the latest trends and advancements in technology, and sharing your learnings with the team.

Experience you might have

  • Solid experience as a software developer, with a strong background in backend development using technologies such as Scala or Java
  • Proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions in a collaborative team environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for tackling technical challenges.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • A proactive mindset, with the ability to take ownership of tasks and drive them to completion.
  • Championing a strong testing mindset and possessing experience with various types of automated testing, ensuring high-quality and reliable software solutions.
  • A desire to mentor and support junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

Some of what we'll offer you in return

  • 25 days paid annual leave (in addition to statutory holidays)
  • Your birthday off
  • Private medical, dental and optical insurance
  • Pension scheme with generous matched contributions
  • Flexible working hours
  • The best kit for the job - including your choice of iPhone or Android
  • Conference and eBook allowances (including a Kindle)
  • Catered lunches once a week
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Cycle to work scheme
