Full Stack Engineer

Description:

We’re looking for two Full Stack Developers to be involved in building exciting and complex digital products from concept through to delivery and work collaboratively with a talented team of developers, designers, producers and strategists.

Our frameworks and activities support and foster creative thinking, but are lean and flexible enough they don’t slow us down or make us jump through hoops. We’re strong believers that our people, not technology, produce the best outcomes. You'll join forces with 50+ friendly Inlighters who work flexibly between home and our brand new office in Clifton Hill, purpose built with hybrid work being central to its design.

What we care about

• Create digital experiences that solve a genuine human need, and have a positive impact on the people that use them
• Working in partnership with our clients to create a tangible impact on their business
• Offering a team a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Building a team that’s aligned to our values, without needing everybody to think or sound the same
• Supporting the growth and learning of our people with defined progression frameworks, coaching, and individual learning fund and regular knowledge sharing
• Intentionally creating the environments, tooling and connected ways of working that supports our team to create results (and have some fun) in a way that works for them
• Although we follow the hybrid model, we care about our culture and encourage social team engagement to preserve connection and internal relationships.

The role

As a Full Stack Developer at Inlight, you produce well structured-code that is valid, tested and of a high production standard, and provide technical input to help guide our team and build trust and credibility with our clients. On a typical day, you’ll be driving your own work forward and work closely with our producers on technical planning and decisions, reviewing PRs and assisting other devs with technical questions and bug fixes. You should be able to contribute to new and innovative solutions whilst staying up to date with new technologies by experimenting, learning and improving.

We work with a number of different technologies to suit the individual challenges faced by our clients. On the back-end, we enjoy using everything from serverless architecture to serving REST and GraphQL APIs using Node.js, to hosted CMS solutions using Craft CMS, MySQL, Docker and Lightsail. On the front-end, we favour React and Next.js, using both JavaScript and TypeScript. We use React Native for app development, as well as Swift and Java for platform specific solutions when required. We value experience with AWS, including Elastic Beanstalk, Cloudfront RDS, DynamoDB, and Lambda, as well as experience using Terraform, CDK and Serverless. Inlight is a Vercel partner, and any experience using Vercel or Next.js will be highly beneficial.

A willingness and ability to learn and adapt to evolving technologies, and to thrive and assume responsibility in complex, ambiguous environments is essential.

• Has at least 3 years’ experience working as a team with a variety of front-end and back-end languages, development frameworks and third-party libraries

• Collaborates to improve the technical and delivery practices of the team.
• Understands and makes well-reasoned design decisions and tradeoffs; avoids over-engineering, while actively maintaining a high standard of quality.
• Produces functionally correct, well-tested and appropriately documented code, and takes responsibility for deployment, security, maintenance, operations; ensures their work delivers real value to customers.
• Consistently takes ownership of substantial features or entire projects; known for independently and reliably taking these from concept all the way to production
• Knows how to proactively identify problems with requirements for their own and adjacent work, and communicates these issues early to help course-correct.
• Invests in relationships across the business and has a strong positive influence on team and company culture
• Follows curiosity to challenge how things are done and can work through problems
• Is a team player and enjoys collaborating and sharing ideas and knowledge with your peers
