About Us
Bookwhen is a flexible and affordable booking solution that's used by thousands of customers worldwide. The businesses we work with range from yoga and fitness to alpaca walks and children's activities. They all make our world a more colourful place and helping our customers turn their passion into a business is our biggest motivator. Our small team is made up of passionate and autonomous people with an entrepreneurial mindset. We're a group of creative thinkers focussed on quality, excellence and collaboration.
What’s the job?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Mid to Senior level developer to join our team full time. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable diving into any part of the stack to help us develop the product further, with a focus on quality, usability and flexibility.
We believe in encouraging autonomy and self-organisation. You’ll be making your own decisions and getting involved in areas beyond development, so there will always be plenty of opportunities to grow your skill set and be part of every aspect of the business.
Our working hours are Mon - Fri, 9:00am - 5:30pm (can be flexible). A typical week will be made up of a mix of development tasks such as improvements, maintenance and new features. You will have regular calls with fellow team members to discuss and collaborate on the projects you're working on. You'll also take part in a short daily stand-up with the whole team, as well as sprint meetings every two weeks.
