We are hiring a Junior Software Engineer who will join our small, experienced team based primarily in Reading, UK. We offer total ownership of your team's products and your day-to-day will be jam-packed with opportunities to learn new technologies and grow as an engineer.
About the role
As part of the Meltwater product suite, we offer an API that provides content, analytics, and insights to customers who then use the data in their own tools and to build advanced custom solutions. Our team is responsible for improving and maintaining this API. You will be improving the existing API and building new features. In addition to the API we also provide customers with other ways of extracting and analyzing Meltwater data outside of the platform in Business Intelligence tools.
All our engineering teams are empowered to work how they like. Our primary language is Golang. We do make use of other languages where appropriate, and we run our services on Kubernetes and AWS where they are either containerized or serverless wherever possible. Because we are an autonomous team and our applications are deployed in the cloud, we take great pride in our DevOps mindset and skills that allow us to manage all our services and resources as a team. We are responsible for a weekly on-call rotation, and once you are up-to-speed, you will be expected to participate. We will ensure you are trained up in any areas needed with courses, books, mentoring, and pairing.
Other technologies we make use of are
- Grafana
- Kibana
- Drone.io
- Kong
- RabbitMQ
- Elasticsearch/Opensearch
- Kafka
- Jest
- Terraform
- Opsgenie
- Benthos.
Please note that you must have the legal right to work in the UK and can work from the Reading office at least once per week. Currently, we come into the office every Monday. We’ve taken steps to make sure everyone can work as effectively from home as they do in the office. You will get a budget to set up your home desk and extra equipment such as a Wacom Tablet to aid in design/whiteboard sessions. Therefore, this position is open to people living in and around Reading.
