Trussle
Posted 2 years ago
As a rule, we’re technology agnostic, if you can articulate why a particular language or piece of technology is right for Trussle, we want you to bring this to the table.
Our front-end applications are written in React with TypeScript using Gatsby and Next.js. For our GraphQL and REST APIs we use TypeScript and NodeJS, with PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch behind the scenes.
All of our services are hosted on AWS using Elastic Kubernetes Service. CI/CD is handled by GoCD, with automated Docker builds and deployments all the way to production. We use Github and JIRA to help us keep on top of our tasks, manage and host our code
We have a strong culture for testing. We are individually responsible for our work and are immensely proud of the quality we produce. We try to automate as much of the testing as possible.
We have a learning and development budget for keeping up to date which can be spent on conferences, courses, and even books. We encourage sharing what we learn with the rest of the team and the wider community.
We are truly cross-functional: as well as designers and product managers, our teams include data analysts, mortgage advisers and marketing specialists.
About the Role:
- Develop scalable web applications for award-winning consumer-facing financial tools
- Develop quick internal admin tools for analysts to create and maintain critical rule sets around consumer financial data

- Work with UX and design team to transform wireframes into living products
- Build new GraphQL REST endpoints for representing our data to consumer applications
