Our engineering team is driven by a genuine desire to make the lives of our customers easier, and we do that by helping each other deliver consistently outstanding work. We’re confident in our product, and we have big plans for the future.
Whats the opportunity?
- Our small teams get responsibility for a company goal, not building specific features. You’ll have the opportunity to impact what we build, as well as how we build it.

- Our tech stack includes a mix of proven technologies, such as C#, React, Typescript, Postgres, AWS and Docker. You’ll become familiar with our pragmatically chosen stack, but* you’ll also help us define what great looks like*.
- We release Gearset multiple times a day and can roll back any release instantly if we find an issue. We continually invest in our process and infrastructure, and that enables us to build tight feedback loops, fix problems immediately, and delight our users.

- Have (or are about to graduate with) a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
- Can write code and solve complex problems
- Write well-structured, testable code, with a focus on simplicity and maintainability
- Care about quality, not only of the code you write, but of the product you're building

- Become familiar with a pragmatically-chosen tech stack, including a mix of proven technologies such as Docker, AWS, C#, React and TeamCity
