Software Engineer Remote
Job description
We're looking for developers with a wide range of experience (anything from 2 to 20 years, but exceptions will always be made for the right candidate). Previous experience in C# is essential, and skills in any of the following would be a bonus but are not required. If you don't know them already, you'll learn all of the below on the job.
· Azure (Specifically App Services, Table Storage, Service Bus, Queues among others)
· Git
· Selenium Testing
· Accounting
If you're called for interview (video call, because that's how we work), you'll get the opportunity to interview us too, and talk to members of our team to find out whether you'd enjoy working with us.
We're doing high-value work and we want you to be as productive as possible. So as a member of our team you'll get access to learning materials to keep you sharp, and you'll be equipped with the necessary equipment and software to enable you to do what you need to do.
We've got a combination of new and existing projects that you'll be working on, and welcome the opportunity for candidates to bring in fresh thinking to benefit the whole team.
We don't have any offices; remote-working is baked-in to how we do what we do. It helps us achieve maximum productivity, with minimum distractions and diversions. And with no daily commute, it keeps our carbon footprint low too. What we ask for in return is that you're serious about doing professional work from the place of your choice, including having a fast and reliable internet connection (fibre or cable), and a dedicated space free from distractions in which to do your work.
About Ledgerscope Services Ltd
We have about a dozen employees and could be defined as a scale-up, but in attitude and dynamism we feel much more like a start-up.
Ledgerscope aims to transform accounting data, both in terms of the literal sense of changing it from one style to another, but also in the way that businesses think about the data and how third-party developers can make use it in their own apps.
To date we have launched three SaaS products, and our newest service is in beta with customers. We are constantly improving the capability of our main product, but have also got our eyes on a bigger prize which is a service aimed at the fintech sector that will transform how small businesses manage their finances. Whilst novel, this service is a logical extension of many of the software capabilities we have already demonstrated, so with the right team we are well placed to take this to market rapidly.
We're a small and close team. We encourage independent working and using your initiative. We've been a remote team since Day One, and we try to avoid hierarchies. You'll be encouraged to question why we do things the way we do them, as we strive to make our systems as elegant as possible. We automate everything we can (including a full CI pipeline), so you won't find yourself doing boring repetitive tasks. Our software stack is .NET (specifically C#) and Azure. We make heavy use of the platform to reduce the amount of work that we have to do. Communication is primarily via IM and video calls, primarily using MS tools such as Teams.
We provide developers with the kit, software tools, and access to learning materials that they need to be productive and stay sharp.
We've been in business since April 2010. We're profitable, with cash in the bank and no debt. The business has been bootstrapped so we are not encumbered by any obligations to funders.
