Full Stack Engineer - Zoopla

Hybrid Working Pattern - 2 days per week from Tower Bridge office

Zoopla is one of the UK’s most instantly recognisable property brands. In fact, we’re known and loved by over 91% of the nation (and we’re working hard on the other 9%). Our mission is to help the nation make better home decisions - by connecting everyone to their home and giving them personalised insights to help with moving, managing or financing. Over 50 million people visit Zoopla every month to access exclusive data and information on every UK property, search over 500,000 homes for sale and rent, find the best agents and secure the latest mortgage deals.

We’re a growing, dynamic team that embraces innovation and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries. We’re only just starting our journey to redefine the digital property landscape, with much more to explore and achieve. Join us, and transform the way the nation makes home decisions.

The consumer portal experience at Zoopla is a unique opportunity to work on creating a high performance website and other services. If you enjoy being in a commercially driven organisation, core web vitals, developer experience, apis, pipelines, personalisation at the edge, or creating delightful UIs with the latest CSS, we have something for you.

While we have a diverse set of technologies and services running here at Zoopla, we don't expect you to know all of them and would love to hear from you if you have experience in just a few of them.

On the frontend you’ll work with React, Nx ,Vercel and TypeScript. On the backend it's Node.js, Next.js, and GraphQL, all written in TypeScript, but also Golang and Python. App experience and candidates who are comfortable working with React Native is particularly desirable. Our data stores include both SQL and NoSQL, and you’ll be guided by our data and Core Infra/Platform teams as you work with AWS, GitHub/GitLab, CI, and increasingly with serverless technologies.

A willingness to flex your skills across the various layers of the stack is expected for the role. If you’re interested in growing your full-stack development skill set, we’re happy to support you.

What we’re looking for in Zoopla Engineers:

• You’re working on your engineering craft, and you practise writing maintainable code, reviewing code, pair programming at times, and writing tests.
• You’re commercially driven, resilient, and able to respond to changes without missing a beat.
• You’re passionate about building products to delight users, while also paying attention to building products that are stable, scalable, secure, observable, and performant.
• You’ll have worked with some type of cloud tech, though we’ll make sure you're supported by our SRE folks when you need to flex across the whole stack. Experience in AWS would be a plus, but we’re open to all that are happy to work in a place where engineers have a DevOps mentality.
• You enjoy collaborating closely with colleagues from across all areas of the organisation, and seek to understand how your work aligns with business goals.
• You’re accountable for performance, playing your part in achieving team goals and ensuring your contribution positively impacts overall success.
• We look for new Housemates that exhibit our Houseful behaviours - such as ‘Own It,’ ‘Be the Change’, and ‘Set the Bar Higher.’

You’ll work in a fast paced, agile engineering team, alongside data analytics, product, and design. With this experience and support, you’ll be empowered to work autonomously to define and deliver on ambitious goals.

We take diversity and inclusion seriously, and to succeed here, you should too! All qualified applicants will be considered, without regard to race, colour, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, disability, health, qualifications, or time unemployed.
