What does 'Digital' at Purplebricks look like?

Position Overview

We are looking for bright people who are passionate, always growing, and fun to work with. As a team we love to evaluate new technology; we pride ourselves on improving our engineering practices and ways of working all the time. If you feel that you'd enjoy working with us then please have a read of the day to day section and the skills/experience list below

What will your day to day look like?

You'll be joining a multi-skilled product squad, usually consisting of Back End, QA and Front-End engineers, Design and Copy people, a Scrum Master and a Product Owner. Product squads are responsible for building/delivering fantastic software and also spending time helping in the discovery stage, which informs what we decide to build. You'll be part of all the usual Agile ceremonies and as a team, you will be delivering backlog items over two-week sprints. When it comes to culture - we really try to build happy, cohesive, performant teams that pull together. Each squad feels a real sense of ownership over their work - we're always striving to improve our Agile maturity. Building an environment based on trust and honesty is really important to us - if something's not right you can be sure your voice will be heard and people will care about what you have to say. As a front end engineer, you will primarily own the front end tasks for on backlog items - delivering some independently and some through pair programming. As we work in multidisciplinary squads you will also be asked to assist others doing Back End, QA (etc) work to make sure we hit our sprint goals. Outside of squad work you will be part of the Front End Chapter. We hold biweekly Chapter meetings to talk about tech and ways of working. We work democratically to evolve our stack and make constant improvements. There are "Guilds" you can choose to join if you'd like to get involved with certain specialisms more. Finally, we have a culture club where you can help out if you'd like to get involved in hackathons, charity and diversity work.
