Hi, I’m Garry Shutler, CTO and co-founder of Cronofy.
I’m looking for senior engineers to join our engineering team for a salary of £60,000 - 90,000 per annum, and engineers to join our team for a salary of £40,000 - 60,000 per annum.
Cronofy's mission is to Schedule Everything For Everyone. Over the past 7 years we’ve grown a self-sustaining, profitable business on our enterprise-ready Scheduling API.
We’re now building a direct-to-user offering in the form of our Scheduler so we can improve the scheduling workflows of even more people.
We’ve done the hard work of synchronising with all the major calendar services and pushing that data into our Availability Engine. We’re now doing the really hard work of making that power accessible to everyone, not just developers, in a way that respects their privacy.
Building such a product requires a different set of skills to building an API, and so we’re looking to expand our team. The ideal person loves to work where the ones and zeroes turn into fonts and shapes, but I want to talk to anyone who isn’t allergic to writing Javascript.
We are looking for people who can, or aspire to, shepherd features from idea through to real-world usage, the experience to make the hundred small decisions along the way that requires, and the humility to ask for feedback at the right times.
As a leader, I strive to enable people to look to me for guidance when needed, not permission, and to give you the resources to be self-sufficient and fulfill your potential. As a team we aim to work together to produce ideas and products greater than those we could alone.
Remote-first as an engineering team before the pandemic, we’re currently fully remote. We're starting to, carefully, resume meetings in person as the value of real-world interaction is high. Our team currently covers the Midlands, South of England, and Spain.
Meetups will happen in London where we have an office in a shared space, or Nottingham where our dedicated company HQ is.
As a team we have a daily sit-down, and weekly planning/review meetings. As a company we have a weekly all-hands call to share our work, successes, and challenges. We use our principles to guide our behaviour.
Team meetups are likely to be monthly once they can happen again, all travel and accommodation necessary are covered by the company through your own prepaid card.
In 2019 we held a company retreat, that was not possible in 2020 but it is something we would like to do at least annually.
Practices such as pairing are neither mandated nor discouraged. We trust you to know how you work best, we only ask that you keep the team informed of your progress and ask for help when needed.
We're strong on compliance but this doesn't mean you have to deal with an arduous development process. Github PRs require the automated test suite to pass (which you will likely have added to), and approval by a peer, before they can be merged. From there, the build and deployment process is automated.
This all generates the audit trail necessary to show we follow our change management process.
Like all of our processes, they are lightweight, fit-for-purpose, and open to change when we find them lacking.
We pride ourselves on happy customers, so part of your responsibilities are fixing bugs, sharing the technical support, and improving our documentation to reduce the amount of direct support we need to provide.
Terraform, AWS, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, Ruby on Rails, React, SASS form the core of our stack.
We also have Go in our toolset for situations where performance is paramount.
