DESCRIPTION

The EndNote suite of tools help millions of people around the world access, organise and publish their research.

Our Team

We're a small and highly talented team. We aim to accelerate the speed at which research is undertaken and published. We take pride in our culture where a 'can do' attitude is more valued than any process. We like to follow our curiosity and push boundaries. We put a strong emphasis on working independently and creatively, finding solutions to complex problems in an iterative way.

The Role

As a senior software engineer you will become an integral part of our small and highly talented team. You’ll be joining our team to improve reliability and performance and add new features to our products. We encourage people to work across streams, but your focus will be the back-end that powers a number of the newer EndNote products (e.g. Click, CWYW-O, EndNote-M, and more). Some of these products serve over 1 Million people!

Working closely alongside the front end, product and UX, you will play a central role in building the future of our products and exploring the technologies we use. We are looking for a user focused software engineer passionate about building EndNote in a way that enables end-users to conduct and publish their research.

Our developer experience is super important too, so building a maintainable codebase that’s fun to work with is part of the agenda too!

Cool things you'll be working on

Most of our products touch the lives of millions of people all over the world. That means that a lot of the challenges we face are new and are often unique. If you like being creative and solving problems this role is likely a good fit.

You’ll be working on both maintenance and feature development (likely in that order to start). We hope you’ll want to take a step back and think about big-picture solutions. We'd want you to participate in discussions about the future of the projects.

REQUIREMENTS

• You value a culture where the quality of code (maintainability, extensibility, performance) is as important as time-to-market
• A big picture focus when developing new applications and features
• A love for learning new things and applying them to your work
• 7+ years experience developing, releasing and maintaining Python web applications
• Comfortable with version control systems (we use git)
• Excellent written and spoken English

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Working with a small team to see how we can leverage web technologies as we push EndNote toward the future
• Continue our effort to push toward a fast, beautiful, maintainable, portable codebase across our suite of products
• Design and deploy analytics to see how code is performing and being used in the wild
• Writing unit tests where they add value, and removing or updating those that do not

What Can We Offer You

• Paid lunch
• Private health insurance
• FitPass card
• Company bicycles for rent free of charge
• Access to My Learning platform
• Access to Virgin Pulse platform

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
