<div dir="ltr"><div class="markdown-here-wrapper" style><p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Good people of LRUG, we at Farmdrop are looking to hire a dev or two. Someone clever, experienced, sensible and creative. Here's the down-low:</p>
<h2 id="about-farmdrop" style="margin:1.3em 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.4em;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204)">About Farmdrop</h2>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Farmdrop’s mission is to get great-quality, local, seasonal, sustainable food from farm to fork with the smallest possible number of steps. It’s a better deal for the farmers, the consumers and the environment. Our website allows customers to choose their food from over 50 different farmers and food makers. The producers get to work digging, picking, baking and catching to get the order ready; then we deliver to homes and pick-up points across London. </p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Farmdrop believe that small is not only beautiful, but better. More efficient, more convenient, more viable and more sustainable. We want to champion better food for all, by rekindling the forgotten relationship between the makers and eaters of real food.</p>
<h2 id="our-tech-team" style="margin:1.3em 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.4em;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204)">Our tech team</h2>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">The team is currently composed of four full-stack developers and a product manager. We have a great office in Bermondsey and we are generally colocated there. However, we’re pretty flexible in terms of time and space. What we care about is getting the job done.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">We’re “agile with a small a” - we do daily standups, we have a kanban board, we pair when it makes sense to pair, and we’ve almost forgotten what GANTT charts look like. It’s a pragmatic process that’s working well for us, but we’re tweaking it all the time and you would be part of that. We generally “do the right thing” (TDD, constant refactoring, pairing, pull requests and so on) but the need to deliver features quickly stops us from being dogmatic. </p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Our tech stack at the moment is based around:</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">

<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">As a key member of a small, fast-moving company, you will have a lot of autonomy, creativity and impact, getting involved at all levels of the product lifecycle. There’s very little in the way of donkey-work - we’re still in the early stages of evolving our product, building key features and taking big decisions that will affect the business for years to come. You would be a central part of moving our software stack forward at every level, working in a small team of capable and friendly developers who love building great software. If we can promise anything, it’s that you’ll learn a lot!</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">We’re open to hiring at any level, from graduate to rockstar. You don’t absolutely need to have loads of Ruby and/or Javascript experience, as long as you’re open to learning and can show experience in similar tech. What we <em>would</em> like is: </p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">A willingness to experiment with, and drive the adoption of, new tech that might help us (eg Docker, Raspberry Pi etc)</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Someone who is comfortable taking responsibility (everyone deploys to production, everyone fixes urgent bugs)</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">An ability to think creatively </li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">An ability to teach, and learn from, others and to work collaboratively</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">A track record of efficiency and self-discipline</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Good verbal and written communication skills</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">An appreciation and enthusiasm for Farmdrop’s vision of making the world a slightly better place</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Experience working in a startup would definitely be a big plus. </p>
<h2 id="show-me-the-money" style="margin:1.3em 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.4em;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204)">Show me the money</h2>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">We pay a competitive salary, commensurate with experience. It’s not what you’d get working for a bank, but on the plus side… you won’t be working for a bank :-)</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">You also get options, plus lots of nice food. And a few of us head to Southwark Park a couple of times a week for a sneaky 5k run!</p>
<h2 id="recruitment-process" style="margin:1.3em 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.4em;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204)">Recruitment process</h2>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Send us (a link to) your CV and anything else you might think is relevant (Github or whatevz)</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">We’ll get in touch for a quick phone interview</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">If phone interview goes well, we’ll send over a simple code test</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">If the code is ok, we’ll ask you to come in for a few hours, pair with us on whatever we’re working on, go for lunch, and generally get a feel for Farmdrop.</li>
