High-growth data startup, shipping awesome FMCG / CPG research products
We're looking for a senior Typescript engineer to be part of a smart, caring and hard-working team changing the way giant brands like Mars, Coca Cola and Unilever work with giant retailers. It's a startup: it's unstructured, there's a lot to do and we care about results (growth).
Practically, we're shipping an enterprise web app backed by large, proprietary datasets that present novel challenges. We want our customers to love our products and we're super excited about what we have lined up.
Diversity is important to us - we value applicants from different backgrounds and with different views than our own.

Work with Great People
We’re a small, high-performance team who care about what we’re working on and each other. Your commercial colleagues are ready and excited to put the products we ship in front of huge international clients such as Coca-Cola, Mars and Tesco as well as relax and have some fun together to celebrate our achievements.
- Things You’ll GetAutonomy and power over the products at the core of this startup.
- A flexible working environment - as long as the results are getting delivered, just figure out a schedule that works for you.
- A good salary, pencilled in at GBP 70-100k based on ability, can be traded off against equity depending on what you want.
- A great office environment for when you do spend time there (just off of Old Street)
- Share options with fair terms.
- An end of year performance-based bonus.
- As little bureaucracy as we can get away with (but no less).
- Standard benefits like pension etc.
- The best equipment we can buy you (an M-series MBP).
- The clearest and most transparent communication we can manage at all times.
- An experience: working at a startup should be exciting and this should be no exception.
- Opportunities to travel to meet clients nationally/internationally.
- A similar bonus structure as the sales team if you make an introduction to a big FMCG customer that turns into a sale.
- Something missing? Please let us know.
Things We’ll Need From You
- A desire and ability to build great software products.
- To perform well in a semi/unstructured working environment.
- To talk directly to the people using the software we build and empathise with their issues to prioritise our work.
- A focus on quality: your work needs to stay done.
- An appreciation for UX/UI and an ability to fill in the gaps where necessary (designs for features won’t always be immediately available).
- To be able to provide and receive clear and honest communication.
- A broad sense of responsibility - it’s a startup: nothing is someone else’s job.
