\nProduct Engineer\nHigh level stuff you might be filtering against 🔍\nLocation: Remote (UK timezone +/- 6 hrs generally). In the UK we will hire you as an employee. In other countries you’ll need to be setup as a contractor initially.\nType: Full-time\nSalary: Location dependent. As a reference, our current range in the UK is £75k to £110k. If you will work from another location, you should map this to your equivalent market rate to be competitive. We are open to negotiation as we recognise there are different situations, but these are our general guardrails.\n\n\nWhat I am looking for\n👋 Hi, I’m Martin, VP of Engineering at Zen Educate and I’m looking for engineers who can make an impact on the real world problem of education staffing, and do it through engineering excellence.\n\n\nEvery place has its own understanding of what engineering excellence looks like (sometimes written down, sometimes not). Here’s what it means to me and Zen:\n• Valuing real world outcomes and shared learning over output\n• Product thinking over pure tech - start with the problem, ship quickly and iterate. \n• Team success and sustainability over individual heroics. \n\n\nWe are a small, but mighty team and so every engineer has the opportunity to make an outsized impact and put their stamp on what excellence looks like in practice. What do I mean by “small”? Today we have 4 product teams and 24 engineers including Tech Lead Managers and Principals.\n\n\nWe recognise the world is not static - “what got us here, won’t get us there” - so we look for curiosity, adaptability and proactiveness as fundamental traits. The engineers I see be the most successful are those who focus on solving problems, look to help others and just happen to typically leverage technology to do so.\n\n\nSo whether you’re passionate about building great products, scaling systems, or improving team processes, you’ll thrive at Zen if you care deeply about users, focus on real-world outcomes, pursue continuous learning and strive to make others better 💪\n\n\nWhat we are building and why\nGetting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a crucial problem to solve, both for education outcomes for children and for the sustainability of an industry that spends billions on this.\n\n\nToday the platform we are building supports internal operations teams on filling roles, educators on finding roles via our mobile app and schools on getting educators in for both short-term and long-term roles. The more we develop the platform (and the ability to self-serve in the marketplace), the more efficient the whole process becomes, which means more money going back to educators and into classrooms (over £30 million since 2017). \n\n\nWe are well established in the UK and growing at a phenomenal rate in the US 🚀\n\n\nWhat we need now is to reach the next level in how we build our platform to support this growth. That’s where you come in 😉\n\n\nWhat the role looks like in practice\nI’ve written a bunch of words above that I hope capture your interest and excitement ✨. But what really matters is what reality looks like and the best people to share that are the existing engineers on the team. So here are a few glimpses from your potential peers of some of what they have done in a week:\n\n\n“I liaised with the Finance team to help re-run a set of invoices that originally failed from our automated invoice service, and I helped implement a feature to convert a long term booking into a job role - to more accurately reflect how teachers work and track job conversions. Then I shared some design feedback for a booking credit system that was initially less well defined.” - Jai\n\n\n“I implemented a compensation system that will cover the additional fees for teachers, which will allow schools to book needed teachers” - Kamil\n\n\n“I was updating the job details view in our React Native app to show more information to teachers about the school and job dates to make the job offers more attractive and useful. I also upgraded our backend Rails app to use latest version of Ruby, Sidekiq, Rack and Puma” - Adrian\n\n\n“I started the week by pushing some small updates to our React Native app, and then finished the week by shipping a feature to improve the experience of schools finding teachers and managing to clean up a bunch of legacy code in the process.” - Chris\n\n\n“I explored the feasibility of using Google Document AI to extract data from documents uploaded by candidates and validate them, improving automation for our onboarding process" - Lucas\n\n\n“I implemented backend and frontend MixPanel events for crucial workflows to better understand how users interact with our product and what we can improve on." - Georgi\n\n\n“I spent some time monitoring Sentry to spot performance trends and debug issues. I also built an automated rota in Coda for our Native release process, before reviewing Product Refinement Docs and contributing to shaping the solutions.” - Ethan\n\n\nWhat you might like or dislike \nEvery place makes tradeoffs based on what they value and where they are in their journey ⚖️. Here’s a list of things you might find useful in figuring out if this is the right role for you. If we end up chatting, feel free to dig deeper into any of them. Note that some of these are recent changes in our approach and may be “work in progress” when you join.\n\n\n💻 How We Work\n• Boring tech for the obvious, experimentation for the rest. Our core is Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, running on Heroku + Cloudflare etc.  But we have also evaluated Amazon Personalise as a candidate for our matching system and spiked out our own AI powered knowledge-base. \n• Process serves performance. We use agile sprints and other structure to support, but our focus is on outcomes not following rules. Greater performance gives greater freedom - think “Master your instrument, master the music, and then forget all that and just play.”\n• Engineers as problem shapers (not ticket takers). You’ll thrive here if you want to shape problems, not just deliver tickets. Our Product Managers and Designers are partners you pull on for leverage rather than task givers who hide the users away.\n• Daily shipping culture. We ship regularly and want to get even better at it. We are investing in this and welcome those who’ll help us start smaller and iterate faster.\n\n\n🌱 Growth & Progression\n• Choose your own career path. We care more about impact and learning than rigid competency grids. This means greater flexibility in what progression looks like, but requires you to build an understanding of what we value from guiding principles and shared real-world examples.\n• Few Titles, infinite Levels. We use Levels instead of Titles to show growth in a Role. You won’t see titles like Associate, Senior, or Staff here. Instead, you can grow continuously by getting better at your current role - e.g. working faster, safer, and more independently. Changing roles is possible too, but depends on business needs, since different roles aim for different business outcomes and typically use different skills.\n• Investment over reward as a mindset. Level changes are tightly coupled to compensation changes. Confidence in a Level change is based on sustainably doing great work at your current level. We think it is fairer to invest in what you do next, rather than reward you doing the next Level first for free!\n\n\n💸 Compensation\n• Market reality. Compensation is based on your competitiveness in your local hiring market (note that’s not just where you live). We don’t believe anyone has found a great solution to global compensation, so we aim instead to be clear and equitable in how we do it.\n• Solid, but not flashy compensation. We pay decently, but we won’t beat out companies with deeper pockets (yet!).\n• Think long term investment. If you are in a place where you need to prioritise immediate financial gain then this probably isn’t the right time to join us.\n\n\n🤝 Team Culture & Collaboration\n• Distributed engineering team. Solid communication skills and async habits are key to be effective. You’ll find strong connection here, but not through engineering getting together in-person. If you like the buzz of working near others you are welcome to work from one of our offices, but there won’t be many engineers there on any given day.\n• We believe in impact and measurable outcomes, alongside shared learning. If your work moves the needle or teaches us something meaningful then that’s a win. If not, then we’ll want to understand why. \n• Balanced, sustainable work. Long hours are not a badge of honour - they are an indication something isn’t working well. We value a sustainable pace and healthy teams.\n• Diversity is good in some ways and lacking in others. You might be the first of something here. That matters and we’ll support appropriately if you are.\n\n\nHow we hire\nHire fast, fix fast.  Hiring today is...not great, with most companies being too cautious and taking too long to make a decision 😦. We move quicker - our ideal is: apply Monday, offer by Friday. Then we invest heavily in the most important part - your onboarding. We ensure you are setup for success, with clear direction, experience of different teams and shipping to production within days.\n\n\nWhilst fast doesn’t mean frivolous, it does slightly increase the risk that you or we made a mistake. So we include regular check-ins during onboarding to make sure expectations match reality. If either side feels something is off then we try to fix it fast. And sometimes that will mean saying “let’s not carry on” with respect.\n\n\nReal talk. We believe in being direct and authentic. We’ll share the good, the messy and the challenges. We recognise we won’t have all the answers, still have much to learn, and that’s all part of the fun of this wild ride 🚀. We expect the same from you - after all we are just a bunch of humans trying to do great work together.\n\n\nMindset, not tools. We hire for how you think and create leverage, not what specific tools you’ve used before. To us, experience is just another tool - it is only valuable through how you leverage it. Curiosity, adaptability, product thinking - those are the durable qualities in a changing world. And we value different opinions, so ensure you share yours - have a point of view, maybe debate a little and we will respect that.\n\n\nAlways open to great people. We are always hiring and happy to chat even if the timing isn’t quite right. That’s why you might see this job post open for a long time. We are not collecting resumes or doing stealth market research, we just believe in the power of serendipity. To make that more transparent - right now we have a clear need for at least 2 more engineers in the team.\n\n\nOkay, so what will the actual process look like? 👀\n• Recruiter quick chat. Our recruiter will check you are human, can communicate effectively and cover some of the basics like compensation, benefits and availability.\n• Technical expertise. We will do a paired session with a twist - we will be the ones sharing our screen and writing the code. So come prepared to ask questions, drive progress with another engineer and dig through an ambiguous past problem in our codebase.\n• Product thinking. Chat to either our CPTO or a Product Manager about how you’ve demonstrated a product mindset in the past. Or if you haven’t had opportunity to do that, tell us why and what you’d do differently with us.  \n• Role chat. This will be with me and I’ll be wanting to understand how you think and approach the role and engineering excellence. I’ll start by asking you the question you include in your application. And I’ll want to dig into your answers so that this becomes more of a conversation and shared exploration than a Q&A session 😃. \n\n\nAfter the recruiter chat, the remaining sessions can happen in any order and as quickly as our schedules can align. You could do them all in a day if you want or spread them out a bit.\n\n\nOnce interviewers have shared their feedback from each session we do an internal debrief - that’s where we discuss what we are excited about you for in the role, any challenges we see and whether we think we can mitigate them at this time. From there we will make a decision and either proceed to offer or tell you that we not offering. \n\n\nWe believe feedback is important, but also know not everyone wants it - so we don’t share it by default. If you’d like feedback after the process, just let us know. Note that we’ll frame the feedback from our perspective of why we did or did not have the confidence rather than as a commentary on you.\n\n\nInterested? Let’s go!\nIf you read all of the above and are excited (maybe even a little nervous) about the opportunity and how we work then I recommend applying now! If you skipped or skimmed the above, feel free to apply anyway but you’re missing a bunch of useful information that could streamline the process for you 😉\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Design, Amazon, React, Ruby, Mobile, Heroku, Engineer and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $122,500/year\n

\n\n#Location\nLondon

\nWe're looking for Senior Developers to join our Grow My Clinic team. This is a brand new team we are assembling to help our allied health practitioner customers grow their practices while having more time to deliver the services their patients need. We’re working on a multi-year green-field project and are looking for an experienced software professional to play an important role in realizing our vision for Grow My Clinic. This is a significant opportunity to solve a key set of problems for our rapidly customer base and to further Jane’s mission of Helping the Helpers.\n\n\nLike with all positions at Jane, this position is a remote position, allowing you to work anywhere you want across Canada. Building a delighted team who can delight our customers is part of Jane’s DNA. In our most recent company-wide health check, 99% of our team agreed that our founders demonstrate people are important to Jane’s success. On top of that, 98% of our team felt Manager cares about them as human beings and that they are supported when needing to arrange time off from work. We’d never claim to be perfect, but we’re working hard to listen to our people and improve each day. \n\n\nWe really want the people who work at Jane to love being here, so it's important that we start with a bit about what makes our company unique and try to be as transparent as possible. Our values also provide some insights into Jane and hopefully, you’ll have a better idea if this might be the kind of company you want to be part of. \n\n\nBefore we were Jane, our Co-Founders were solving problems for their own clinics not realizing that a few years later, this team would grow to support tens of thousands of healthcare practices in more than 60 countries. Our platform is now helping to modernize the world of practice management software. We enable the likes of physiotherapists, mental health counsellors, chiropractors, and other allied health practitioners to run their practices in a digital-first way through features such as online booking, charting, scheduling, telehealth, and billing along with an evolving library of features. You can see more of them here. Although we’ve grown, still to this day, we’re rooted in solving clinics’ problems and making sure we don’t lose sight of Jane’s vision. \n\n\nWe have remained profitable for the past seven years, we’re product-led and growing organically (and responsibly) to the point where 85% of our customer growth is either from customer referrals or word of mouth. Growth like this is unique, especially in the world of SaaS, and it doesn’t happen by chance. We have a brilliant team of over 400 Janers who are doing an amazing job of listening to our customers, building what they need, and providing industry-leading support. We pride ourselves on flexibility & autonomy, some of our team block out their calendars to pick up their children from school (and this is normal at Jane), and we even have a #kids channel in Slack. \n\n\nWe’re not a clock-in clock-out system-type environment. With that being said, we’re not going to paint the picture of a perfect environment either. We’re a company that’s scaling quickly, we have many moving parts, many of us are doing this for the first time and sometimes, we don’t have processes in place or clear views which can require a lot of resourcefulness and a passion for problem-solving. \n\n\nWith all that to say, if you’re looking for an environment where you can grow, stretch yourself, and work with some incredibly talented people on problems that are positively impacting people's lives, Jane could be the place for you.\n\n\nCompensation Expectations for the Role\n\n\nJane’s committed to paying our team members fairly, clearly, and above all, paying for growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $117,100 and a maximum annual salary of $182,900. As you may have noticed, this salary range is quite large, and this is intentional to account for the growth someone will experience in the role throughout their time at Jane (i.e., from building the skills, to accomplished, to highly proficient, all the way to achieving excellence in the role). When hiring talented folks to join the Jane team, we’ve found that new team members are best set up for success when hired with the expectation of being fully accomplished in the role, which for this role would reflect a salary between $139,000 to $146,300. It's also possible to join Jane at a salary above or below this, which would mean a salary below $139,000 which typically reflects someone who has all the potential to be fully accomplished in the role but doesn't yet possess all the skills required, while a salary above $146,300 is typically for individuals who are currently in this role at Jane and had the opportunity to make a significant positive impact on our customers, product and company with deep Jane knowledge.\n\n\nAt Jane, we pay for growth, which means that you’ll continue to have conversations about your career development with your manager and see your compensation grow over time as you build an amazing career with us.\n\n\nMore information on Jane's benefits package can be found here.\n\n\n\nThe impact you could have… \n* Your role will have significant responsibilities for contributing to the technical vision for the Grow My Clinic product, helping us move quickly, fail fast, and set the stage for significant scale in the future.\n* You will have the opportunity to participate in key decisions on infrastructure, data model, services, and interface, and be a force multiplier on what we can achieve going forward.\n* You will have the opportunity to build on your leadership and mentoring skills, working with your fellow developers to grow their skills and confidence.\n* You will use your experience in building quality software quickly to help us show one another what is possible when we combine effort and ability.\n* You will help us make a material impact on our customers’ ability to deliver their services to more patients, and subsequently help those patients improve the quality of their lives.\n* By helping us be true to our value for building delightful products, you will help us create advocates in the market and fuel the growth we can achieve.\n\n\n\nThe experience we feel we need:\n* Someone who can independently take charge of a specific component within our product, making swift and decisive progress. While collaboration remains a key part of our culture, we need someone who is confident in their ability to own and deliver a crucial piece of our application.\n\n\n* Lead the development and maintenance of critical components within the Grow My Clinic product, covering both backend and frontend aspects.\n* Utilize your expertise in technologies such as Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS to build robust, scalable solutions.\n* Act as a technical mentor, guiding less experienced developers and fostering a collaborative team environment.\n\n\n* Extensive full-stack development experience, with a strong grasp of infrastructure, backend, and frontend technologies.\n* Competency in containerization and orchestration tools, with exposure to platforms like Kubernetes or Amazon Elastic Container Service.\n\n\n* Significant experience in at least one of the following areas: designing and integrating APIs, developing modern, responsive web application interfaces, handling sensitive data (PHI and PII) with a focus on security and compliance, implementing DevOps practices, including CI/CD, and building reliable, observable systems, leading 0 to 1 software product development initiatives. \n\n\n* Proactive and capable Senior Developer who can bring their wealth of experience to our team, helping to drive the Grow My Clinic product forward efficiently and effectively.\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Jane, we’re committed to fostering an environment that allows you to come to work as your truest self. We believe it’s important to actively recognize, embrace, and celebrate our differences in order to make Jane an inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace.\n\n\nWe want to build a team of people who make conversations rich with perspective and experience. We are committed to listening to every voice in order to learn and grow because doing this will allow us to meet the needs of the diverse community of helpers that Jane serves.\n\n\nWe do not tolerate discrimination, prejudice, or oppressive isms of any kind. Employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, experience, and the needs of the Jane community. We encourage anyone who requires accommodation or adjustments throughout the interview process to let us know, and we will do our best to support you. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Developer, Amazon, Swift, DevOps, Ruby, Senior and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $60,000 — $105,000/year\n
