Founded in 2022, they've quickly grown to serve 35,000 members and sell over 70,000 bottles monthly. The company is currently UK-based but has ambitious plans to expand into the US market by 2025.
As a Senior Software Engineer at Winedrops, you'll be working on a sophisticated tech stack that includes TypeScript, React Native, and Firebase. The role involves working on multiple platforms: a mobile application serving 40k monthly active users, backend services running on GCP/Firebase, and web applications deployed through Vercel. The technology ecosystem is modern and well-integrated, using PostgreSQL for data storage and GCP Pub/Sub for asynchronous processing.
The position requires a full-stack engineer who can confidently navigate both frontend and backend development. You'll be working directly with founders and the engineering team, playing a crucial role in shaping the company's technical future. The ideal candidate should have 7+ years of experience and be comfortable with modern development practices, including AI-enabled tools to enhance productivity.
What makes this role particularly exciting is the opportunity to work for a fast-growing company that's making a real impact in the wine industry. You'll be part of a team that deploys to production multiple times daily, serving tens of thousands of customers. The role offers competitive compensation (£50-90k), performance bonuses, and flexible remote working arrangements, making it an excellent opportunity for a senior engineer looking to make a significant impact in a rapidly scaling business.
