[LRUG] [JOBS] Looking for a Full Stack Developer @ Stowga

[James Shipton]

Hello LRUG,

We are looking for an on-site Full Stack Developer to join our team at
Stowga. We are based in Shoreditch.

The Opportunity
Stowga is an early stage, rapidly growing startup backed by some of the
best investors in Europe and the US. We won Wired Magazine’s Startup
Showcase 2017 award and have just closed a £1.5m funding round. We are
looking for highly motivated and intellectually-curious software engineers
to join our rapidly expanding team.

About Stowga
Our platform allows warehouses to optimise their space by offering
under-utilised capacity to customers who take that space without the
long-term commitment of a lease. By switching the fixed cost of a lease to
a variable cost we transform the economics of this $300bn global market.
We are early stage but growth and traction to date has been impressive: we
built the largest database of warehouses on the planet, identified a
data-driven customer acquisition model, and signed up some of the biggest
names in the industry on both the retail and the warehouse side of our
marketplace.

Team and Technology
We are gathering a world class team of technology and logistics experts to
build this category-defining product.
We like to build things that solve problems, you will not be constrained by
process – we work in small product teams that take a lean approach.
Our tech team look for skilled and collaborative developers who are
motivated, excited about technology and keen to consistently raise the
quality of our collective work by building elegant solutions through clean,
efficient and testable code.
Our core stack is Ruby on Rails, Python and Heroku. We take a data-driven
approach in everything we do. From collecting, cleaning and analysing
billions of trade data points for understanding demand; to using earth
orbit technology to identify warehouses. This position will ideally suit a
developer with the creativity to push the envelope and the drive to excel.

Who we are looking for
 - 2 or more years of commercial experience with Ruby on Rails.
 - Someone who strives to understand how lines of code translate to
business value.
 - A strong communicator.
 - Knowledge of Python and an interest in data science a plus.

What you get from us
 - An excellent salary
 - Options in a well backed, fast growing company with big ambition.
 - 25 days holiday.
 - Training, conference and equipment budget.
 - Hack days.

Interview stages
  - Phone chat.
  - Tech challenge.
  - On site pairing session and meet the team.

If this sounds interesting to you, then please get in touch at

Recruiters: We are already working with our preferred recruiters and are
not looking to partner with anyone else.
