About Res:Harmonics

At res:harmonics, we're building the world's best cloud-based serviced living property management system (PMS). The serviced apartment, co-living and build to rent sectors are experiencing huge international growth, so it is an exciting sector to work in. Although we are a small business we have clients based across the UK, Europe and Asia. 

Our team is passionate, hardworking and welcoming. We aim to make working at res:harmonics fun, demanding and fast-paced. We look for individuals who thrive in a client based product environment and enjoy delivering a great service to our customers, who are smart, dynamic, assertive and eager to grow and succeed. 

In the last year we’ve experienced nearly 30% growth in our revenue year on year, which is allowing us to invest and further improve our offering. We are moving out of the start-up and into the scale-up phase, which requires us to continue to add new functionality for customers, and also improve our processes and technology and mature our platform, ensuring a steady foundation to underpin further growth.

We are looking for an experienced developer who can lead areas of the team. The business is still growing, so this is an opportunity to get involved early and shape the team and processes required for growth. 

This role will suit someone looking to take a step up and shape their environment, rather than slot into a pre-existing mould. In return there is a competitive salary and stock options to share significantly in the growth and potential of the business.

The right candidate will be an excellent senior developer first, but also with a passion and experience to lead and coach other engineers, represent their team to the rest of the company, work closely with product management on designing and developing new features and finally work with the leadership team on process and strategic technology initiatives.

We understand great developers come from all backgrounds - and are keen to talk with anyone with a professional full stack web application development in a cloud environment (we exclusively use AWS) - 8 years commercial experience or more.
● Understanding of distributed and complex systems, with experience of designing and developing in the cloud and the relevant technologies and modern service design.
● You should have a good understanding of when to “build” and when to “buy”
● You’ll be working closely with our product manager on story development and breakdown into technical tasks ready for sprint planning - therefore experience of an agile environment and how to best support planning and estimation is ideal.
