nPlan Hiring for Software Engineer Job at London, England Full Time

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team.

We want to inspire the world to forecast correctly and empower it to tackle risk, thanks to our unique ability to forecast the outcomes of construction projects. We can change how construction projects are managed and executed, and will lead us to build the world’s largest infrastructure bank in the process. A crucial part of getting there is being able to deliver deep insights for very large construction schedules. In this role, you’ll be working directly with our Tech teams to help solve some of the most interesting problems facing the construction industry.

We’re working with some of the largest infrastructure projects in the world (think HS2, Heathrow, Crossrail), which means an opportunity to have a significant impact on the world around us, and what it will look like in the future, from the very first day.

You’ll be joining a world class and very well funded team, backed by top investors and VCs from Silicon Valley and the UK that all believe in the future we are creating. We’ve been on a tremendous growth trajectory for the last three years, and have even faster growth plans for 2022 and beyond, scaling product and team at an exciting pace. We won the hottest Proptech startup at the Europas in 2019, Forbes think we are 1 of 15 machine learning companies to look out for, and we recently picked up the best early stage company award at TechCrunch Disrupt. We think a lot of our success is due to our strong sense of culture.

We are a data-focused company focused around product, with engineering squads (we use the Spotify model) that align directly to user needs, and have a lot of autonomy. You will be part of one of the engineering squads, working in collaboration with other engineers, and the product team, to build and maintain our platform and tools and with researchers to create and productionise new capabilities.

Some of the things you’ll be working on:

• Designing and build new features on our platform
• Participating in setting the direction of the product
• Expanding and develop our internal collection of microservices
• Helping other team members, such as through peer code reviews
• Developing internal tools and libraries to help us scale
• Creating tools to simplify and accelerate the data acquisition process
• Maintaining and expanding our simulation and analysis capabilities

We need you to have:

• Strong algorithmic & technical design skills
• Mastery of Python (preferred) or Javascript, or experience with a wide range of other languages
• Familiar working with version control and collaboration tools (ideally Git & JIRA)
• Experience with API and/or microservice development
• Interest in Docker and Kubernetes or serverless application deployment
• (bonus) Experience with GraphQL and/or React for the web
• (bonus) Contributions to relevant open source project
• (bonus) Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or Maths, or equivalent experience
• Please mention the word ‘crane’ in your application

The typical nPlanauts are:

• generally curious about the world
• serious, without taking themselves too seriously
• able to define their own work
• proactive about improving the world around them
• open-minded about new technical ideas
• willing to change their mind on the basis of the evidence

What working at nPlan will be like:

• We are still a small team so there is plenty of opportunity for a high degree of ownership over different areas of the product, and you will be directly exposed to all areas of the business.
• Your voice will always be heard. What you do or say counts, not who you are or where you’re from.
• We have three core values that underlie everything we do: Learn from Everything, Be Radically Truthful, and Aim High, Run Fast. These enable us to create a collaborative, inclusive environment where we can move effectively and efficiently to implement the best solutions.
• We are a cross-disciplinary team, and come from all backgrounds and countries.
• Fantastic benefits package for Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Development, family leave, weekly team lunches and more.
• We are committed to addressing the diversity problem in the tech industry, and that starts with making sure we have a diverse team where everyone feels at home and can contribute as an equal.
• Having time to yourself and a private life is important. We offer a very flexible work environment and a generous holiday policy.
