Senior Software Engineer

LoyaltyLion is a data-driven loyalty and engagement platform trusted by thousands of ecommerce brands worldwide. Merchants use LoyaltyLion when they want a fully customised loyalty program that is proven to increase customer engagement, retention and spend. Stores using LoyaltyLion typically generate at least $15 for every $1 they spend on the platform.

Today LoyaltyLion works with over 4,000 fast-growth ecommerce retailers. Our mission is to help them succeed in the age of Amazon, where they may not be able to compete on price and logistics but can offer a better customer experience. One that makes customers feel valued, rather than like they are just another number.

We’re a small, agile team with a strong focus on the product – everything we build has a purpose and provides value. When it comes to development, clean and safe is our number priority.

Turning lots of data into useful insights for our merchants

Proven track record in software development
Experience as a senior or lead engineer in a team
Autonomous and pragmatic: you know when to refactor and when to accrue debt

Other nice to haves: Postgres, AWS, Docker, own a dog/cat/lion

What we offer:

Relaxed working environment and flexible hours
A space at our bright, spacious office in Farringdon
