Full Stack Developer

❓ Why join

We are a hyper-growth Tech startup on a mission to revolutionise student rental. We’re now looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help us on the next stage of our journey.

We were formed after our co-founders - Harry and Ben - experienced the pain-points of renting a house while at university, and knew that there had to be a better way.

We're now up and running in four UK cities and have launched in the US. In 2023 we were recognised by Tech Climbers as a rapidly scaling tech company, and we're currently fundraising to fuel our growth even further.

• You’ll assist in the maintenance and enhancement of our mobile app, implementing new features and optimising performance.

• You’ll troubleshoot and debug issues across the stack, ensuring smooth functionality of both products.
• You will stay up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to suggest innovative solutions
