Our client is a brand that is synonymous with the sporting world! This brand has been around for well over a century. Still, following a recent PE equity acquisition, they are now entering into a new period of growth that is going to have technology at the forefront.

A recent acquisition of a tech brand to their portfolio has fuelled the need for a brand new technology function. This company is steeped in history in the darts world, and its recent acquisition of a tech firm that develops auto-scoring software means it needs forward-thinking technologists to join the team.

They are now looking for a Software Engineer to join their founding technology team and build their product from the ground up.

• Independently scope and lead technical initiatives, laying the groundwork for early-stage products to evolve iteratively
• Contribute to the product roadmap, help set the vision and strategy for the venture, and act as a sounding board for venture leadership
• Develop and execute against both short- and long-term roadmaps.
• Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation

Why You’re Made For This

• Experience with any popular cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Proficient in Go.
• Professional experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Salt, and container orchestration technologies
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Experience reviewing code to maintain a high standard of code quality across the team
• A self-starter mindset, capable of context-switching between various projects, codebases, and concepts
• A prototype and rapid iteration mentality, using pragmatic delivery methods to have a fast impact and quickly identify the best solution for a problem

In return you'll get an opportunity to build a product from the ground up and work with a team that have built a superb culture.
