The Smartians



We are a creative and ambitious bunch of engineers, hackers and entrepreneurs who love building awesome technology that can make a difference. Our skills range from robotics and AI to industrial manufacturing and software engineering and have worked for some of the largest organisations in these fields including Google, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Morgan Stanley and Ansys just to mention a few.

We have one clear vision and we are using all the tricks in the book to get there;we are highly collaborative, ask a lot of questions and we are continuously trying to simplify and clarify the steps needed to achieve our goals. We like to properly plan before executing, we create engineering design documents, architecture models, we prototype and only begin implementing once we reach consensus. We embrace change, we adapt as we walk the path and we strive to grow the team by hiring better, smarter people than us. Oh and we enjoy good, as well as bad, jokes.

Where you come in


  • Contribute and influence all aspects of front end development (App architecture, UX, Component design and more)
  • Collaborate with the rest of the engineering team and stakeholders to translate use cases and requirements into user interfaces
  • Working both independently and collaboratively on development tasks
  • Have direct input into the design and implementation of the frontend and platform as a whole
  • Experience you'll need:
  • Strong background in UI Application Development (Single-Page Applications)
  • JavaScript ES6+, CSS3, HTML5. Typescript is a bonus
  • Experience in one or more popular JavaScript frameworks. React, Angular, Vue.js or other 
  • Proficiency with Git and continuous integration/continuous delivery
  • Experience in Unit Testing and testing UIs in general
  • Familiarity with RESTful and/or GraphQL API
  • Solid grounding in software engineering best practices
  • Desire to learn and curiosity to understand how and why things work
  • Demonstrated strong collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills
  • Comfortable working within a distributed remote team

Interesting technologies that we either use or we like a lot (in no specific order): Ansible, Vagrant, Proxmox, MQTT, OPC-UA, RabbitMQ, Kdb+, PostgreSQL, Git, Python, Django, Rust, Protocol Buffers, REST, RPC, React, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Jupyter Notebooks, ELK, Sentry.

Benefits
  • Compensation around 35k per annum.
  • Company profit sharing scheme.
  • Remote-first team. While most of us are located in the UK, we are hiring anyone anywhere, as long as they meet our core working hours. We already have some people in far away countries.
  • Move to the UK - if you want to come and work in the UK we can sponsor you.
  • Flexible working hours. We have core hours of 10 to 15 UK time where people are generally expected to be online (but silent days are also fine), and when you do rest of the work is no one’s concern.
  • Dedicated time for training and development. We are aiming to spend a day of every sprint (2 weeks) on work-related training. That’s almost a month of training a year.
  • If you are sick and need time off - you got it, this includes mental health. And don’t even think about burning your PTO for it.
  • Family health cover (UK only)
  • Pension scheme (UK only)
  • Home office budget, besides the hardware you need for success (we strongly recommend our threadripper 64gb, ssd workhorse desktops for backend developers, but you tell us what you like hardware-wise!)
  • 24 days holiday plus bank holidays and no-nonsense approval. What that means is that there is no holiday approval system at all, instead you just take them when you want them. We trust one another to ensure minimum work disruption.

At Smartia, we embrace diversity, bringing different people, with different backgrounds and different expertise together to build a stronger, more resilient company. We are committed to equal employment opportunities and we want to ensure that our recruitment process is accessible to everyone. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation during the process, please do not hesitate to let us know.
