We think a strong team is built through difference. From Mexico City to Manchester, Stockholm to Stirling, Hong Kong to Hull, Elders come from all over the UK and the world. 

It matters that you’re unique. It matters that you’re great at what you do. And, obviously, it matters how much you care about what we do. 

About the role

The role of the technology team at Elder is to set Elder apart from the rest with meaningful use of technology - our technical platform is the engine powers the rest of the business. We build web applications that connects families and carers with each other and Elder.

We use data, algorithms, and machine learning to find the right carer to look after each of our customers. In 2020, we’ll continue our journey towards becoming UK’s leading live-in care provider and do even more to deliver a best in class service.

As a member of the technology team you’ll work closely with a product manager, UX designer, and developer peers to not only build great software, but to shape solutions that support Elder and the families we serve.

  • Implementing, testing, and releasing new functionality across Elder’s web applications
  • Collaborating with backend engineers in building new APIs and data contracts to support new functionality

Requirements

  • A solid grasp of modern JavaScript (EcmaScript 6+, Flow or Typescript a bonus)
  • Experience building software applications using JavaScript/ES6
  • Experience working with React/Redux, or other similar web application framework
  • An active interest in staying up-to-date with new technology, new frameworks, new languages and other developments
  • A passion for working collaboratively to solve meaningful real world problems with technology, not just writing code!

Benefits

We’re a service business and we know that without the best people, we cannot build the best company which is why we treat our team very well. We can offer:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Stock Options (We are post-series A & backed by some of the best VC’s in Europe)
