3 months ago
We’re a leading online reviews platform, free and open to all. Our mission is to be a universal symbol of trust. We are well on our way — but there’s still an exciting journey ahead of us. Do you want to join us at the heart of trust?

 

We are growing our engineering teams at Trustpilot and are looking to welcome a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team (see description below). This team will be cross-functional and made up of Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product, based in the UK and Denmark. Our teams are highly autonomous, owning product, system design, and technology decisions. Trustpilot's API Platform Team will play a crucial role in enabling our customers, partners and internal teams to unlock the value of our APIs and drive new revenue streams. The roadmap includes monetising & sharing our datasets and enabling syndication of reviews. Trustpilot API's are used in several different ways:

  • By customers - for example to display Trustpilot Widgets on their website and extract data for analysis in-house
  • By Integrations with other SaaS tools (such as Shopify) - some built internally and others by external partners

At Trustpilot, we work as a team and deliver as a team. The environment that we cultivate includes working with great people who aid each other at every step, while at the same time encouraging you to bring your A-game every day. Everyone’s opinion matters and you can help come up with the next big idea that will bring Trustpilot forward. Join our team and shape the way we work. Are you up for the challenge?

What you’ll be doing:

  • Work in a cross-functional “full ownership” team alongside Product, Design, and Data Science where you will take part in every step of the process of building, from ideation and design to architecture, code, deployment, and maintenance
  • Take part in decision-making and design discussions during the development
  • Help plan, implement, and release new features
  • Troubleshoot existing software, squashing those nasty little bugs
  • Inspire and challenge the organization with your knowledge of how to solve problems
  • Analyse, gather, and aggregate data to support decisions, both technical and non-technical

 

Who you are:

  • Experience in full-stack web development (extra point if also in a cross-functional team)
  • Experience developing RESTful APIs (ideally high volume) and distributed cloud services
  • Experience with component-based front-end development (ideally React, but we know you can learn quickly)
  • Experience with SRE & Infrastructure would be a plus 
  • A friendly and helpful personality, open to give and receive feedback in a constructive way
  • Motivation to push yourself and the people around you to constantly improve, in a healthy way

 

Some relevant technologies and services we use:

Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda, SNS, SQS, CloudFormation ...), Docker

Languages: Typescript, Javascript

Frontend: React, Next.js, CSS Modules, SASS, Styled Components

Database: DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, BigQuery
