Job Description

Who we are

At MADE. COM we believe that everyone should have access to great design. So, we’ve taken a unique approach to making and selling furniture – no middlemen, no agents or importers and no high street stores. Instead we work directly with designers and manufacturers so we can offer high-end furniture at attractive prices.

It’s not an easy task – it takes a creative and dedicated team to make it happen where everyone has an important part to play. We combine our individual passions and skills to create innovative work that’s as exciting and unconventional as the business itself. It’s a place where all ideas are listened to, where brainstorming means job titles get left at the door and where a self-starter can really make their mark.

Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing 

We are an Agile development team, working collaboratively with our software architects and infrastructure engineers, to deliver a best in class back office software suite – covering supply chain management, logistics, order fulfilment and customer communications. Making the most of modern technology and best practices to deliver high quality solutions, we are developing a state of the art microservice architecture, striving to use the technology at our disposal to its fullest potential. We like to think outside of the box and challenge the status quo. We use our language of choice in unusual ways and we are proud of it!

Our office based and remote developers work closely in cross functional squads with product owners and QA engineers, taking responsibility for the success of their software; utilising practices such as Scrum, Kanban, OOP, TDD, DDD, CI/CD and a deep understanding of the business domain, we are delivering flexible, stable, long term solutions.

Outstanding communication skills and a curious mind are as important as a solid technical skill-set, for all members of our team. We make sure our remote developers are as central to the process as our office based developers, included, by video, in all meetings and decisions and collaborating with the rest of the squad on a daily basis.

We are constantly looking to improve and progress and thanks to some brilliantly innovative software development; we’ve come a long way in the last 8 years and are really excited about what we can do in the future, with a bigger and brighter tech team!

We know our success lies in the hands, heads and hearts of a vibrant and dynamic development team; that’s why you’ll find us at so many conferences and meetups and why we value our Friday Time R&D projects. It’s also why we make time for so many social events!

They say Python is the second best language for everything and it is our language of choice… From web apps to event driven API’s; high traffic, low latency, real time software is vital to our ability to deliver an industry leading e-commerce back office solution.
