If you've ever used an App to order coffee or food, or pay a bill in a restaurant, you may have been one of the millions of users who use our platform for convenience in ordering, to speed up paying, and to earn rewards. We're a UK based company building the leading mobile hospitality platform, and that means designing and building iOS and Android Apps, management web portals, backend services, e-pos integrations and much more.

We a vacancy for an experienced developer to join our UK team where you help us design, build and operate Pepper's services in AWS.

The Role

We are looking for people who have a passion for coding, who are excited by trying all the latest tools and cloud technologies, and love to build high quality software.

You will be using modern cloud tools and technology - all AWS hosted. Our primary stack is Typescript and Nodejs, with Mongo Atlas, Postgres RDS or Dynamodb for storage.

We use agile processes pragmatically (no scrum), we try and automate everything including infrastructure, CI/CD and QA.

  • A university degree in a STEM subject

  • Excellent A levels or equivalent

  • Fluent spoken English
