Software Engineer (React/Node)

Everything we do is to empower our clients to move forward.

 

Great technology companies are built on incredible design, engineering and strategy, working in unison, operating at the very heart of an organisation and its audience. Enabling organisations to become great technology companies is our mission, and our promise to our clients.

 

We aim to leave them with the mindset, tools, skills and expertise they need to go beyond their own expectations, revolutionise their sectors, and for us to be proud of the change we create with them and their customers.

Our purpose is to help our clients develop the capabilities they need to outperform their competitors.

 

Our success is a consequence of ensuring our clients are successful.

 

Our company is built on extraordinary people; we aim to attract, inspire, develop and retain them.

 

YLD is a software engineering and design consultancy; we create digital capabilities for our clients that last beyond our engagement.

 

We have offices in London, Lisbon, Porto.

You will work on delivering digital transformation projects at FTSE-100 companies, predominately using NodeJS and React (although we’re not restricted to only using these and will work with the most suitable tools).

 

You will be expected to work on-site during various customer engagements, typically within Central London.

A YLD Software Engineering Consultant is a highly-skilled developer who exemplifies the highest standard in software engineering and enjoys sharing their knowledge and experience with others.

 

It would be great if you have experience in one or more of the following technologies: Node.js, JavaScript, various front-end frameworks (e.g. Angular, React, Vue etc.) and an understanding of back-end architecture, scalability and deployments (even if in languages other than Node.js); .NET and Java are advantageous.

 

Pair programming, continuous delivery, test driven development, and incremental design should be second nature to you; writing code without tests should be unthinkable.

 

You have a real passion for problem solving, you are an active learner and get excited by working collaboratively with those around you.
