Software Engineer - Frontend (React/Typescript/Javascript/GraphQL/OpenAPI REST/CSS) - Santander Auto Software

Who are we?

Santander Auto Software is an exciting programme currently at early stages, where we are building a brand-new, state of the art software platform and product suite for the auto finance industry, that will be rolled out across Europe.

The business is 100% tech focused, remote first, and comprised of skilled cross-border software builders, and with a leadership team with accomplished backgrounds.

You will be partners with, not providers to, colleagues in product and the business. There will be no order takers and no order givers. Together with your partners in product and business, you will share equally in decisions about features, dates, and priority. More importantly, you will share equally in the results produced by the software you partnered to build and evolve. That’s a lot of responsibility, but we know that’s the new role of technology in every part of our lives and as software builders we’re excited to co-own the results, not just the effort.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for skilled frontend focused software engineers with experience working in developing and implementing user interface components using React.js concepts and workflows such as Redux and Hooks, who have experience working in a software on demand production environment. You will build Cloud-native, AWS-based, greenfield software and will have time and support to invent solutions to a wide variety of user, business, and technical challenges. We have no cut-and-paste roles and neither will your software be of the cut-and-paste (or integrate and configure) variety. We operate a 'build it and own it' culture, and so you will have a DevOps and individual contributor mindset

Key technical experience:

• Sustained professional experience in Frontend development, working with React.js.
• Experience with Redux, Webpack, Hooks.
• Strong knowledge of Javascript, CSS, HTML, and Frontend languages.
• Production deployment experience working with AWS.
• Experienced in true Agile and its engineering practices with a true DevOps mindset.

Responsibilities:

• Developing, implementing and evolve our frontend architecture.
• Monitoring and improving frontend performance.
• Reviewing application requirements and interface designs.
• Design and deliver functional and quality software, with the focus on developing code from scratch through live running code.
• Design functional software (objects & modules)
• Design and implement performant software using documented algorithms and methods of software optimisation on team's functional platform tech stack.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to define, design, test and deliver new features and to articulate technical concepts to the business and technical community.
• Developing code, performing test, trials and quality checks to ensure strong functionality and optimisation.
• Maintaining and improving systems and software codes to support and improve product.
• Work on bug fixing and improving application performance.
• Keeping details records of development processes.
• Continuously discover, evaluate and implement new technologies to maximize development efficiency.
• Gather and evaluate user feedback.

What's in it for you?

Core stack is Java17 & 18 /Spring Boot/K8S/React/ AWS, but we are expanding tech and tools around our growth.

• 100% remote greenfield development (this will not change) working with a fantastic cross borders team of software builders
• Highly competitive packages (annual bonus kit/peripheral budget comprehensive benefits)

• We fund teams, not projects and while the software we build matters, the software team you help us build will matter more.
