💭 About Stotles
🎖
The partnership between business and government is vital in making our communities productive & cohesive, but inefficiency and bureaucracy is currently the norm. We are using a modern approach to change this.
Our SaaS platform gives businesses a clear view of opportunities to work with the public sector, and the tools needed to manage them. We are bringing together a massive amount of messy government data to bring clarity and transparency to a space that desperately needs it.
We've seen fantastic traction from industry leading customers such as Salesforce, Vodafone, Snowflake and Appian, and our growth trajectory is on the rise 🚀

💡 About this role
🔢
Comp. range: £55-70k salary with an additional options equity grant worth 30-50% of salary
Working in a small, cross-functional product team you will take part in all phases of product development: advising the product owner (our CPO Carsten) & lead designer on the technical aspects of planned features, designing architecture and discussing it with other engineers, implementing it and rolling out to users in production.
You will have opportunities to develop new features in our SaaS web application and its backing service infrastructure.
To give you some idea of the type of features we build, here are some that we’ve recently released:
Ingesting and visualising data about what government organisations are spending on.
Creating a clean database of all entities that take part in the public sector: think every government body and every private company that they ever worked with.
Integrations with external CRM systems, Slack, Teams, etc.
LLM powered tools for public sector - outreach generator & tender summarisation
Also see here for what we’ve released recently.
You will take part in designing & developing the software architecture of our platform suitable for future growth.
You will help us build a global public sector database by combining procurement data, news sources, government spend and planning information and many other data sources and develop a state-of-the-art search engine for this data.
You will work in an environment that encourages constant learning and growth, whether it’s trying out new technologies, sharing knowledge or best practices across the team or learning skills from other colleagues.
🥞 Our tech stack
Front-end written in TypeScript (we 💗 types!) using React and Ant Design components.
Some of the tools we heavily use are react-query & react-testing-library 🤓
We're transitioning our legacy Ruby on Rails web-app to a TypeScript backend using NestJS.
PostgreSQL is our main database but we use ElasticSearch for querying the procurement data.
We're currently running all of this on Kubernetes on AWS (all defined in Terraform).
Every change is reviewed and tested & later released using an automated process.
As we are always reviewing what tools we use you will be able to influence the technology choices we make for our frontend & backend architecture.

👉 You at Stotles
📆 Typical week of an engineer at Stotles
📈 How you'll learn and grow
📄 Next steps
A 15-20 minute intro call This is an informal chat so you can learn more about the company and the role and you can tell us more about yourself - your experience and what you want to achieve in the next role.
A 60 minute technical discussion (system design/no live coding) During this call with two other engineers, you will discuss a technical problem that is related to Stotles’ product domain.
A 2-3 hour technical take-home task You will be given access to a small full-stack JS/TS codebase. You will have to make changes to an existing frontend & backend that displays procurement data. You can complete the task at your own pace and time - we only ask you to send back the git repo with the code.
A 60 minute discussion of your solution In this call you will discuss your submission with two other engineers and Carsten, our CPO and one of the co-founders. We will talk about your coding decisions and possible extensions of the app both from the technical and product/UX point of view.
A 60 minute background & critical thinking interview with the co-founders
❗ Note: The most important thing is that we get to know each other, so we may tweak the process candidate-to-candidate. Regardless, we'll get back to you at most a week after your interviews clearly outlining next steps.
