Description
Software Engineer
My client, a global powerhouse within the social media industry, is looking for a Software Engineer to join their team in London on an initial 6-month contract.
The company is a fast, simple and reliable way to talk to anyone in the world. More than 1 billion people in over 180 countries use this method to stay in touch with friends and family, anytime and anywhere. It is not only free but also available on multiple mobile devices and in low connectivity areas - making it accessible and reliable wherever you are. It's a simple and secure way to share your favorite moments, send important information or catch up with a friend. It helps people connect and share no matter where they are in the world.
You will be joining a small team building infrastructure, tools and frameworks for the core platforms allowing engineers at the organisation to reliably and safely deliver to our 1.5 billion (and growing) monthly active users.
They are still a small-ish ~200 person engineering team, which translates to an incredibly high engineer-to-user ratio. This will allow you the unique opportunity to join the company early on as they build out the teams in London that will work cross functionally with various teams.
