At Podaris we're looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join our team.
Full-time · United Kingdom (Remote - Work From Anywhere)
A role in a small team with serious impact and autonomy to help build our web-based transportation planning platform.
A company with a purpose: Podaris was founded in the belief that better transportation planning tools can create a better world.
Endless opportunities to dive deep into complex algorithmic challenges, from graph routing problems, to algebraic geometric constraint solvers, or focus on creating a beautiful UX.
A truly flexible environment: set your own hours, your own remote location, and directly influence tools and technologies used.
Circa £50k with a meaningful equity component.
Remote: UK-based, with flexible work from anywhere.
Podaris is a fast-growing startup in the transport and urban planning sector, aiming to change the way the world plans its cities and transport systems. We have created a web app for collaborative transport planning which incorporates aspects of GIS, CAD, transport simulation, and more.
The platform is being used by customers around the world, from large-multinational private campus owners, to local authorities and transport operators. They use Podaris for everything from bus network redesigns, to the planning of new innovative multi-billion pound fixed-infrastructure schemes.
Our small team makes for an inclusive, interdisciplinary, and intellectually stimulating environment. We value diversity and welcome candidates from non-traditional backgrounds. The mostly UK-based team has been working remotely since before the pandemic and offers true flexibility with an emphasis on work-life balance.
We’re looking for a fullstack engineer to join our growing team. You'll be able to make a big impact, joining a small but very enthusiastic team. Our platform is centred around a feature-rich collaborative single-page application, that is built using technologies such as Openlayers, Node.js, MongoDB, and Meteor.js. Our stack includes a number of other programming languages and frameworks used throughout different services, and your experience with those is less important than your expertise with modern Javascript.
Specific responsibilities
Developing and implementing new features for our javascript-heavy single page application.
Solving algorithmic-heavy problems in areas such as GIS, graphs, and routing problems.
Monitoring and improving the performance and usability of the platform.
Collaborating with the wider team to debug issues and support customers using the platform.
Contributing to the end-to-end lifecycle of features, from concept to UI to deployment to metrics to support.
Essential
Excellent in-depth knowledge of Javascript.
A thorough understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and experience building single-page applications.
A strong understanding and experience of modern development practices (agile methodologies, git, continuous integration, bug/issue tracking).
Rich experience solving complex computational problems (algo-heavy, data processing, event driven systems, etc).
Willingness to learn new skills - we want people who are happy to get involved in almost any part of the stack if required.
A good understanding of design patterns and software engineering principles.
Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership. You understand that startups are unpredictable environments and are comfortable with a degree of chaos.
Desirable
Previous experience using Meteor.js
Experience with transport data formats such as OpenStreetMap, GTFS and TransXchange.
Familiarity with transport design/planning/engineering tools such as CAD and GIS.
Experience working in a fast-paced, high growth, technology-focused organisation.
Interest in system architecture, and experience with event-driven approaches for asynchronous task processing and data pipelines.
Knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and other CloudNative technologies.
Rare opportunity to join a fast-growing and dynamic mobility software startup.
~£50k with a meaningful equity component.
Flexible work from anywhere policy.
Remote-first autonomous team.
33 days of paid annual leave (inclusive of public holidays)
As a small team, we can consider putting in place other benefits if important to you - please ask!
