As somebody who has recently renovated their kitchen and bathroom, it's not that I thought potential buyers would prefer white over a colour, it's just that I thought they were less likely to NOT like white over my preference of colour, and then either be put off, or feel like "this house is perfect but we'd have to redo the bathroom right away because I can't stand the pink" and then offer less.

Sunsetting Hire 7 years ago

One of the biggest drivers for me picking google hire over Lever or Workable or one of the alternatives was the pricing model. By charging based on the size of the company and not the number of job slots it removed one of the biggest pains we had which was the constant juggling of putting specs live and archiving some as the priorities changed. £300 p/month for essentially unlimited slots was unbeatable.

What is the feedback and calendaring integrations like with Lever and gSuite?

Zego | Lead Platform Engineer, Senior Product Engineer | London, UK | Onsite | £65k - £75k

Zego offers insurance tailored to today’s flexible workforce that enjoy the freedom of choosing how, where, and when they work. We are looking for an experienced platform lead, and a senior product developer to join our engineering team in London. Zego provides drivers with flexible, hourly insurance while they are working. We are building a modern insurance platform with which to drive innovation in the industry. We are VC backed and looking to expand our current engineering team.

Our platform is currently built on top of the Django web framework, hosted on AWS. We have built a cross platform app using React Native. We're looking for people with a strong working knowledge of Python and/or Javascript and a commitment to building, nurturing, and iterating on an ever-evolving codebase.

React by itself isn't comparable to Angular or Ember, but combine it with a flux implementation of your choosing and you have a pretty solid base for a declarative style of application. I've been using it now for just over a year, and it feels like I should have been building applications like this all along.

onefinestay - javascript application developer - London, UK

# who are we?

There’s a new way to stay in a city. onefinestay is a trusted service for hosts to flexibly share their homes while they’re out of town. We give guests the best bits of a boutique hotel stay inside some of the most distinctive homes around.

# why does onefinestay need developers?

As well as continuously improving www.onefinestay.com we’re building a whole bevy of tools to support the very real, very logistical business that depends on technology, from mobile tools to scheduling systems. Here’s a snapshot of some of the things we're currently working on, will be working on soon, or maybe just finished.

Updating the entire online pre-stay experience for guests (we call it, online check-in)

Launched a brand new online magazine with custom cms called The Edition

Developed an authentication and staff management system to handle our ever-growing team

Completely revamping the entire site to support mobile devices (40% of our traffic comes from iOS)

# who do we want?

We're looking for someone who can question the status quo, bring new ideas to the table, see the full potential of a new feature (and push it to realisation), or if necessary tone down something that is getting out of hand. Everyone on the team is a fullstack developer, to some degree. But our django heavy application is moving more and more to the client in order to keep our interfaces as usable as possible. We'd like you to have some experience with server-side code in a production environment, but if yours isn’t in python or django, don't worry, there’ll be plenty of time to learn. With that in mind, we’re looking for:

High-level ability in HTML/CSS (SASS)

MVC style application development with javascript (backbone, underscore, react)

Some experience with server side frameworks (django, RoR, express)

Ability to work with our product team to develop high quality user experience

Strong knowledge of web standards and cross-browser compatibility

There's a bunch of other stuff that will go a long way to get us excited:

Experience with source control (git, mercurial)

Experience with agile development methodologies

Comfortable working with pre-processors such as browserify, React's jsx format

Experience with CI and automated testing (jenkins, jasmine)

# what we can offer you?

Competitive salaries

Stock options

A social work environment filled to the brim with talented developers

Your choice of dev environment (on the penthouse floor of our sweet new offices)

Time to expand and grow your skills
