About the team:
Loqate Technology Team- Within Loqate (a GBG solution) our mission is to help every business in the world reach every customer in the world. Within the Loqate Technology Team we achieve this by providing address searching, data verification, geocoding, and enrichment solutions to allow businesses to find, validate and know everything there is to know about a specific location. And you thought it was just postcodes!
The Role:
This role is a great opportunity for a knowledgeable, motivated developer to join our Product Engineering team, where you will be part of an empowered product squad, developing and maintaining great software that our customers love to use. Our solutions are used by thousands of big brands and household names who will be interacting with products we provide every day.
As part of one of our multi-disciplinary product teams you'll be working alongside other frontend and backend engineers as well as product managers and designers to optimise the customer journey on our SaaS growth platform. You'll be working to drive product adoption, activation and retention, by helping customers get more out of the Loqate platform and to grow their usage of our services. We love tech, our web platform is built using a range of the latest technologies so there's plenty to learn and get stuck into, whatever your passion: Help to create amazing user experiences in our React frontend app, build scalable, event-driven microservices using C#, or make sure the end-to-end experience is rock-solid using Cypress.
What you will do:
At Loqate we're constantly learning, and we're not afraid to change in order to adapt to the ever-shifting environment around us. Here's what your day to day work might look like:
- Own your product - take part in the technical design, delivery, and documentation of the product as we scale to support millions of transactions per day and extend its reach to new and existing customers alike.
- Build great things - work with other engineers and stakeholders to add new features, squash bugs and solve problems. Take part in code reviews and ensure there are automated tests for everything we produce.
- Love shipping code - our squads are empowered to use CI/CD best practices and tooling so that deploying to production is an everyday thing.
- Teach us something - Seen something that you think would be useful? Share your knowledge, propose new tools, enhance and extend our existing processes.
Requirements
What we're looking for:

- Have a strong foundation in software engineering principles and experience with one or more modern languages. Our tech stack consists mostly of C#, React and Typescript.
- Experience working with distributed cloud systems would be beneficial, particularly involving containers. We run on kubernetes in GCP.
- Be an advocate for quality - in our squads we want everyone to have a test mindset and be responsible for the quality of the product. That doesn't stop at unit tests, our software engineers contribute to ensuring quality throughout the pipeline, whether it be integration, end-to-end, performance or security testing.
- Be data-driven - we want our squads to be comfortable using our own data to understand user behaviour, enabling us to drive our products forward and achieve our growth goals.
- A keen learner with an inquisitive nature, confident sharing your knowledge with others.
Behaviours we'd like to see:
