Product Engineer - TypeScript, React - Remote

🌏 Fully Remote (must live in UTC-5 to UTC+2 time zones to apply)

💸 Salary → £110,000 + Equity + Performance Bonus

👋 Reporting to → Vitor Paladini, Engineering Manager

👯 Working in the → Engineering Team

We’re a fully remote, independent, and profitable company with a friendly, experienced team based all around Europe, South America, and North America. We work asynchronously and flexibly, allowing us to balance our life and work in a way that suits us best.

We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer with a front-end focus who loves getting under the skin of products and their users. Someone who enjoys collaborating with Product Managers and Designers, as well as other Engineers.

We all have a high degree of autonomy in our work, which allows us to be creative, impactful, and build exceptional products. With all this, and in our (very) low-meeting environment, we have the time and freedom to build exceptional products that solve real-life problems.

We’ve got a lot of complex and really interesting problems to solve here at Spoke, so if this all sounds good, then we think you’ll feel right at home here.

Requirements

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be joining our Engineering team, working primarily on a new product, Spoke Connect — a marketplace which connects Retailers with Dispatch teams offering local delivery. The role is mostly frontend-focused, using React and TypeScript, but you’ll also dip into the backend with Node.js as needed.

Being able to move comfortably between the frontend and backend is an important part of the role — our engineers work as independently as possible, so we’re big on unblocking ourselves and seeing work through end-to-end where it makes sense to.

Your Typical day-to-day

• Working closely with product managers and designers—figuring out what needs to be built, suggesting better ways to do it, and making sure the end result is great for users.

• Sharing your thoughts in technical discussions, helping to shape how we build things, and making sure we’re using the best possible approach.

• Writing clean, maintainable code and making improvements where things could be simpler or faster.

• Debugging tricky issues and solving problems that help keep our app reliable and scalable.

• Exploring new ways to improve performance, user experience, and how we work as a team.

• Generally making sure that everything you build or upgrade moves smoothly and efficiently! We work to deliver very high quality with minimal bugs.

What you won’t be doing

• Having lots of meetings! No daily stand-ups, sprints, or scrum meetings. Expect ~one meeting per week. We communicate a lot - but asynchronously (which is a big part of what keeps our work so flexible).

• Working to unrealistic deadlines. We prioritize quality and long-term progress, not burnout!

• Strictly following specs without questioning. You’ll collaborate with PMs and designers to define the best approach.

• Managing people. But you will manage your own projects, and share knowledge, thoughts, and feedback as you go.

• Rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline! We’re pragmatic in our approach; prioritizing quality and moving swiftly.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Work well independently and can figure things out, even when requirements change.

• Do your best work when you have a deep understanding of the product you are working on.

• Would describe yourself as a highly skilled web engineer who knows React and TypeScript inside out.

• Are comfortable working on the backend with Node.js when needed.

• Enjoy solving tricky problems and know how to balance speed, quality, and complexity.

• Communicate clearly and enjoy working with PMs and designers to build the best possible product.

• Have built user-facing web apps before and understand what makes a great experience.

• Can spot a simpler way to do something and aren’t afraid to suggest it.

• Are curious and love to learn/explore new ideas.

Who we are, what we do, and how it’s going

Back in 2017, we saw an issue with last-mile delivery. Delivery drivers have a complicated and stressful job, and although delivery software existed, it neglected the driver experience. We set out to create the app that puts drivers first.

We were astounded by the response we received. Drivers told us their job was far less stressful, and they got home earlier every day. Within our first year, we had almost 1,000 customers, $100k in ARR, and a team consisting of our two co-founders, Jack and Pol. Now, with a lean team of ~50 talented people, we’ve grown to $25M ARR, helping over 100,000 drivers deliver more than 1.4 billion packages worldwide—about 40 every second!
