Principal / Staff Software Engineer - Web at Luno

About the team:

Our engineering team (currently 200 engineers) is split into organisations which we call Fleets. Each Fleet focuses on a core customer journey (onboarding, security, payments, support, new business, growth and marketing etc.). Each of these fleets contains multiple smaller teams called Pods, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the product. 

Pods will include a product owner, product designer, back-end engineers, Android, iOS and Web developers, who each bring a unique perspective to the problem you are all contributing towards. 

We're agile, use scrum, continuous integration and continuous delivery, deploying to production every single day.

Creating the best wallet experience for our customers

• Protecting our customer's crypto with advanced security practices
• Providing a seamless KYC experience for our new customers
• Providing seamless fiat onramps to buy crypto
• Enabling customers to have the best trading experience on our exchanges

The role in a nutshell:

We're building teams to help us succeed in our mission to upgrade the world to a better financial system. You’ll be joining a group of highly motivated software engineers who you’ll work collaboratively with across our pods.

As a fast-growing company with offices around the world, you’ll immediately see how your contributions directly impact both our internal users and client experience. Many of the problems we are solving result in trail blazing solutions which can’t be found on Stack Overflow; so we’re looking for engineers who flourish working in a complex domain.

Your mission will be:

• Design, build and maintain advanced web applications using Angular and Typescript.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
• Write testable, maintainable code for robustness and reliability.
• Work on bug fixing and improving application performance.
• Write code that directly affects users, the company and the Bitcoin ecosystem.

A little about you:

• Extensive experience building high quality web applications.
• Be proficient in JavaScript (Typescript would be an added advantage).
• A keen interest in mobile UX/UI design and Material Design.
• Experience with continuous integration and delivery technologies is an added advantage.
• BSc/MSc/PhD in computer science or other technical discipline, or equivalent working experience.
• A passion for software development, mobile technology and Bitcoin.
• To be friendly, transparent, articulate and driven to succeed.
• The right to work in the UK or South Africa as we cannot provide visa sponsorship.

Don’t be put off if you don’t tick all of the boxes – they’re a guide based on what we’d love to see but we appreciate that excellent software engineers have diverse backgrounds.
