Additional details
- ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking high-performing London-based engineers of any level to help us solve more of our customers’ problems.
- We are looking for folks who are excited about designing elegant technical solutions and shipping great code frequently.
- You value MVPs and customer impact over perfectly engineered systems.
- You can take responsibility over the end-to-end deployment of what you build. - Thrive at solving tough technical problems: you enjoy breaking down challenges into simple and well-designed solutions.
- You are fact-oriented and thoughtful in your approach, but you don’t get bogged down in over-intellectualizing or over-complicating things. - Scale-oriented: while having a bias to action and impact, you will care about scalable infrastructure and engineering processes.
- Even better if you’re able to bring some better practices or improvements to our infrastructure or ways of working! - Be able to contribute in our stack: we try to balance speed and impact with fitting the best framework/ technology to the task at hand.
- Ideally, you’ll be able to contribute within our stack while also helping us experiment and evolve to continually improve functionality and performance.
- Above all else, we value people who want to make an impact in their work.
- Here are some of the behaviors that we expect of all Herons: - Scrappy and creative: when faced with an obstacle, you will either overcome it by pure determination (i.e., by hand), or find an unconventional approach or ‘hack’ to navigate it. - Persistent: you may not always find the right answer or person immediately, but you're motivated to keep on trying until you do so.
- You’ll go the extra mile - including Flying to Gainesville - if that’s what it takes. - Pilot not passenger: at a fast-growing company like Heron we need people who jump on opportunities unprompted and drive them to a great outcome, rather than folks who wait to be told what to do. - Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment: we aim to move quickly and decisively, but together.
