Are you an experienced Senior Scala Developer interested in developing your cross-functional technical skills? Would you like to work for one of Manchester’s fastest growing software companies on an exciting Greenfield project using the latest technologies?
The Opportunity:
You will have the opportunity to work on a Greenfield project, hosted in AWS, primarily written in Scala. You will be writing functional, test driven Scala in close collaboration with our frontend developers and our BA and Product Owner. While Scala is our primary language you will have the opportunity to get involved writing Python, JavaScript or Terraform as required. As our cross functional developer, you will be helping build and develop our globally scalable systems that handle all our internet traffic as well as heavily supporting our Data Science team.
What we would expect from you:
You have a good engineering mindset - you know how to build robust scalable software systems and are not afraid to design and build systems from scratch.
You will be comfortable moving from building RESTful services to architecting low level network features to configuring security to implementing fully automated CI pipelines.
You genuinely enjoy working as part of a team and respect your colleagues.
You are prepared to listen, but you are also happy to take the initiative and demonstrate by example.
What you need to know about us, in a nutshell:
We do not have specialists here. There are no developers, architects and dev-ops at Arctic Shores - everybody is a cross functional-engineer and is expected to understand all aspects of building solid production systems at scale.
We believe in automation first - nothing is rolled out here unless it is fully automated.
We believe in egoless programming - everybody is an equal and we value learning from and helping each other. We enjoy solving hard problems, but we recognise we cannot do so as individuals.
You’ll be joining a high-growth and creative business that is expected to double in size over the next year, including further international expansion. We have a highly engaged team who are passionate about what they do.
Who we are:
We're an innovative and fast-growing psychometric tech business; our solutions combine neuroscience, artificial intelligence and game technology that aim to disrupt the candidate selection process. We process large amounts of data from the behavioural assessments we develop and then put it all through our analytics engines to derive insights into personality traits and behaviours.
As a company, we believe technology will underpin everything we do in the future and our goal is to hire strong engineers to help us develop the platforms that will integrate our continually growing game data, with the behavioural models our psychologists are developing - all at scale!
Here's what else you get:
A community-driven and fast-paced work culture that you’ll fit right into. We do monthly socials, regular global town halls with all offices and weekly celebration stand ups
A chance to work with a standout and disruptive product, within an exciting tech stack.
A voice in your team where you can be heard and have a direct influence on how we create our products.
Competitive salary ranging from £55,000-£70,000, depending on experience.
Visa Sponsorship is considered for this role.
Core working hours that allow flexibility for when life happens.
A central location that's easy to commute to.
One day per month as an "Own Day" where you get to work on a novel project of your choosing.
25 days holiday + bank holidays.
Flexibility to work from home on a weekly basis
2 mental wellbeing days
A dynamic working office in WeWork, where you can shut out the world with your headphones on or revel in the cosy co-working spaces.
Free breakfast on Mondays, onsite barista and bar, and weekly events and talks where you can learn from other local businesses.

At Arctic Shores, giving people a fair chance is what we do, that's why we take equal opportunities seriously. We welcome people of any background, gender identification, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, ability-level, age, size, marital status, style or music taste!
