You will also:

  • Have a thorough understanding of:

  • Have excellent technical communication skills in both verbal and written English.
  • Have excellent analytical skills, including the ability to understand and form clear arguments around complex information.

Technologies:
On the front end, we're using Redux with React to implement a web client to interact with our JSON API. We're testing JavaScript with Jest. Deployment is to AWS, using S3 with CloudFront.
Our JSON API server is implemented in Ruby on Rails. For the main application we use Codeship for CI and AWS Elastic Beanstalk for continuous deployment to EC2. We also deploy microservices onto AWS Lambda with the Serverless framework.

Benefits:
  • Flexible working hours.
  • 33 days paid annual leave (including 8 public holidays observed in the UK, which you may take at any time).
  • Pension contributions matched up to 4% of annual salary.

Why work for us
  • We believe in collaboration to solve problems. Great ideas may come from anyone - your contribution is welcome and encouraged. If people find a better way - we do that.
  • Code is reviewed; engineers review each other's code.
  • Within the Carallon group of companies, many of the team come from a live entertainment background, which fosters a high degree of shared responsibility and effort as deadlines approach.
  • SixEye offers a flexible working environment - there are core hours to facilitate maximum collaboration whilst allowing employees to skew their day early or late as desired. Remote working is the norm.
