Job Description

We are looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our Recommend team in the London office.

As a Software Engineer, you will:

  • Collaborate with product, design and marketing to deliver impactful projects,

  • Improve the availability and scalability of our recommendation engine, and how we can create a flexible system marketing teams can use for easy experimentation,

  • Help shape the team’s roadmap and delivery, break down projects into incremental milestones, provide feedback on technical design decisions and approach
