We are CarCloud Community the better way to car.

Our vision is to be the number one brand in the emerging digital car management space.

Our mission is to help the UKs 38 million drivers reduce the stress cost and environmental impact of car ownership.

Tasks

Were looking for an experienced software engineer to join our team and help with the ongoing development of our web and mobile applications alongside helping to develop our infrastructure and tooling.

This is our first onshore technical hire and we expect to expand the technical team further in the UK which you will support or lead.

You will lead our efforts to develop new features and get our infrastructure ready for scale.

Our APIs are built in C# and Node and our offshore developers will continue to support the development of the backend services with guidance from you.

We have some fairly significant projects coming up: implementing Terraform and IaC; building out our data storage solutions and optimising Azure (with the support of our 3rd party agency).

Our DevOps pipelines need to be developed further and you could be handson or oversee a more junior specialised DevOps engineer.

Right now we have one database in MySQL which is likely to be supplemented with further datalakes to maximise the commercial return from the valuable data we hold about our customers and their vehicles.

This is a role with a broad remit that you will be able to shape we are happy to support learning and development in any areas that would benefit you.

We offer flexible working hours and many staff choose to work 4 days per week with Fridays off. We are set up for you to deliver your best work remotely and we tend to meet up once a month in Birmingham.

First and foremost you must already have experience working as a software engineer with significant ownership and influence.

Its crucial you understand backend architecture in C# or Node (ideally both) any frontend experience with React would also be useful.

Youll need to have worked on cloud platforms before and some of your past experience must have included Azure.

Its also important that you have previously used Terraform to build scalable infrastructure.

You must have a solid understanding of databases. We use MySQL but any previous SQL experience will be fine. Youll need to be able to write SQL queries and implement best practices across the large data sets we hold.

If you havent built CI/CD pipelines from scratch before well want to hear how you deployed your code and any work you did to optimise pipelines in past roles.

You should be familiar with a range of testing approaches and be comfortable writing your own tests and collaborating with developers to help them improve theirs too.

Well want to hear about the monitoring tools you have used and which metrics you found most useful to measure.
