Back End Developer 

A Bit About Us

We’re working with AO.com, who are currently embarking on a hugely exciting internal transformation; transitioning development teams to fully independent, autonomous and cross functional product teams; a business wide initiative led by CEO John Roberts.

Currently they have over twenty development teams and a tech department of over two hundred people.

As part of this transformation they’re rearchitecting their platforms to separate the estate into independently deployable products, around which they’re rebuilding cross functional teams within a Team of Teams structure; groups of teams with shared objectives and overarching goals

A coach and mentor, you’ll help less experienced developers on their journey in producing better, cleaner and intentional code. You’ll help them better understand agile ways of working, enabling the team to work as one to creatine better outcomes and raise the bar right across the team.

It goes without saying that you’ll also be getting your hands dirty, producing top drawer code and applications
