This is full time role working for a rapidly expanding start-up benchmarking the sustainability and business resiliency of SMEs, for the companies themselves, their corporate clients, and Investors/Owners.

Due to ongoing growth, we are looking to hire a Junior to Mid level Analyst Developer to join our team and help us scale the business.

Our platform is a scaling data science platform with company survey capabilities, currently using the R language and R Studio, on AWS cloud with a dual database capability (Postgres/Knack). We are looking for candidates to help expand this platform into a fully cloud, API based and well-orchestrated offering. We are hence implementing an improved technical strategy (including continuous development and automated testing) along with our business led strategic vision. We are operating within an agile methodology and invite developers who already have R and database experience along with other experienced developers who would like to pivot into this space.

An industry aligned competitive salary depending on experience and qualifications. The successful candidate will be eligible for share options after the successful completion of 1 years’ service.

Our mission is to make sustainability an achievable objective for all private companies, regardless of size or budget. We live by these principles. We are a collaborative, diverse team that is outcome rather than input focused. We work mostly remotely from home but have a small, shared workspace office in cosmopolitan Brixton where we gather monthly for team strategy and planning meetings. We plan to have a more permanent office in Q4 in response to the team’s request for more face time, however we remain committed to hybrid home/office working to fit in with our team’s work/life balance.

This role is working within the technical team and operating within the agile methodology. We are also looking for candidates who will support in the scoping, implementation and delivery of technical and business projects. The role will be responsible for investigative analysis and delivery of this work.

We welcome candidates who have been on a career break and will consider transferrable skills, where specific development or orchestration qualifications have not been achieved in previous roles.
