Job description

We bring together the best in strategic services, user experience and technical delivery using Lean and Agile processes.

Founded in 2010 by Stuart, Cain and David, we help large organisations improve their speed to market whilst focusing on delivering value to their users and customers. We work with our clients to understand their problems and validate ideas in order to deliver improved process efficiencies, strategic enhancements and new digital products and services (or make significant improvements to existing ones).


The best bit about Red Badger is, of course, the team. We've been around for 10+ years now and we are 120 strong. We are really proud of our people; we support and learn a lot from each other; we work really hard but have fun doing it. We are a diverse group made up of 22 different nationalities, speaking 17 different languages.


Our 3 founders have considerable tech and consultancy experience and still own the company. We've been consistently profitable and have grown responsibly from the beginning. We are embarking on the next phase of growth and development.


The role


We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our digital product delivery function. Red Badger delivers high-quality digital products using a lean delivery process and multidisciplinary, cross-functional teams.


The work we do for our clients involves dealing with the core complexities of their business and the technology we employ varies from project to project.


You are well on your way to having good knowledge and experience in one or more programming languages in both the frontend and backend of the stack, excited to dig deeper into the areas you already know as well as expand your skills into different languages, technologies and practices.


You are passionate about the craft of software development and contribute to technical and non-technical discussions that help shape the direction of digital product delivery. You are able to work independently, as well as collaboratively, on user stories within an agile delivery environment and are versed in modern software delivery practices. You care about creating quality software that meets the needs of our client's vision and goals, in a thoughtfully pragmatic way.


As well as contributing to production-grade code bases, you will also be proactive in working directly with the client to help shape and move the project forward and, where required, helping to upskill and embed good development practices within existing, newly formed or client/Badger blended cross-functional teams.

  • Consulting with clients

    • Proactively engage with clients to shape and move the project forward

    • Backend technologies (e.g. Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, etc.)

    • Test automation following Test Driven Development practices including unit testing, API testing, and end-to-end testing
    • Working with lean and agile practices (e.g. Kanban, Scrum, etc.)

  • It'd be amazing if you can also

    • Work with virtualisation and orchestration tools (e.g. VMs, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
    • Build, maintain and debug CI/CD pipelines (e.g Jenkins, CircleCI, Github Actions, etc.)
    • Make use of modern UI data layer technologies (i.e. Relay, GraphQL, Apollo, etc.)
    • Understand, debug and help contribute to evolving cloud based architectures (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
