ProFinda
Headquarters: London, UK

ProFinda is a remote-first software company based in London, UK. We help big enterprises discover the knowledge of their employees and match them to relevant projects, positions and other activities taking place within the organisation.
The role is an ongoing contract, 5 days per week remote role with 25 days of holiday per year + UK bank holidays.
We expect at least 50% of your working day to overlap with the UK 9-5 hours, including joining the daily standup every day at 9am GMT/BST in order to support collaboration and pairing within the team but we are respectful of possible time differences in case of remote work and lifestyle-related activities and offer flexible working hours outside the core time spent interacting with the rest of the team.
We are very proud of our team and our team culture. There’s no room for egos on our team, instead we try to provide everything that you need to excel at your role. We do our best to keep interruptions and meetings to a minimum.
As part of your role you will be able to solve complex problems with the best tools you can find. We expect you to be an experienced programmer, with a computer science background or proof that you are a self-educated hacker, well grounded in the core principles of software development and programming languages. Initially the role will be more focused on frontend work so we expect a solid background and interest in React.js, webpack, Babel.js and the usuals (Native JS, HTML5, CSS3).
You are proactive with exceptional knowledge of product and team building. When you think a better approach could be taken, you share that knowledge and your reasoning with the rest of the team. You are a problem solver, you are gathering the relevant information to make an informed choice whenever you encounter a problem and then move ahead with the optimal decision.
You’ll be comfortable with providing technical direction on projects, pair programming, or assisting other developers, epic coding sessions, getting stuff done to deadlines, inventing new things, and loving what you do.
