About Secondmind

Secondmind builds data-efficient engineering AI software that helps teams make better design and performance optimisation decisions faster. Our product reduces simulation and testing requirements without compromising quality, accelerating development and enabling more sustainable engineering.

Our positive working culture is founded on a collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and innovation. We foster open communication and cross-functional collaboration, enabling diverse teams to work together to solve complex challenges. Our flexible workplace plan ensures a healthy work-life balance, accommodating various working styles and personal needs, whether through remote work options or adaptable schedules.

We also prioritize personal and professional growth by offering development opportunities, including training and mentorship. This nurturing environment empowers our employees to thrive, continuously learn, and contribute meaningfully to our mission of advancing system design and calibration with our data-efficient machine learning solutions.

Founded in 2016 and supported by investors such as Mazda Motor Corporation, Amadeus Capital, Atlantic Bridge and Cambridge Innovation Capital, Secondmind was recently recognized with the Automotive Testing Technology International 'Alternative Powertrain Test Innovation of the Year Award 2024'; selected for the Tech Nation Future Fifty scale-up program, and named by Bloomberg as one of the UK’s 25 Startups to Watch 2024.

About the role

As a core member of our product development team, you’ll work hand-in-hand with UX designers, product managers, and fellow engineers to develop production-ready web applications, which include sophisticated data visualisation. As a skilled React developer with a proven record of delivering robust and secure front ends, you'll be part of a cross-functional, agile team, which is shaping the future of our flagship user interfaces.

What will you be responsible for?

  • Alongside our other frontend engineers, you will deliver web applications that are not only secure, scalable, fault-tolerant and performant but also intuitive and visually engaging.
  • By transforming complex datasets into compelling visual stories, your work will embody the cutting-edge nature of our solutions.
  • With a methodical approach to automated tests, both unit and end-to-end, you will ensure a foundation of reliability, setting a benchmark for code integrity within the team.
  • Embracing ownership, you will be involved from conceptual design through deployment and beyond. This requires both a strong commitment to continuous learning and a pragmatic mindset to know when to apply simple, robust solutions.
  • As a proactive voice on the team, you will contribute to raising our collective frontend standards through a pragmatic, principles driven approach to technology. You will collaborate with teammates, share knowledge, and help improve how we build and maintain our frontend systems. You will advocate for tools and frameworks based on their proven ability to solve our specific challenges, clearly articulating trade-offs rather than following industry trends.
  • By delivering consistently and frequently, as well as collaborating effectively with cross-functional partners, you will champion a product-minded approach that goes beyond task completion to ensure our product development is finely tuned to our customers' needs.

What skills, experience, and qualifications do you need to succeed in this role?

Essential

  • Experience with the React framework and proficiency in TypeScript.
  • Familiar with version control systems like GitHub.
  • Familiar with translating Figma based design prototypes, with openness to closer, more iterative collaboration with designers.
  • Familiar with CSS-in-JS libraries such as Styled Components.
  • An advocate and implementer of industry best practices in frontend engineering including automated testing, using frameworks such as Jest and React Testing Library.

What will help you thrive in the Frontend Team

Our product is technically demanding - built for domain experts who rely on it to do serious work. The frontend reflects that: a mature codebase, established patterns, and engineers who care about craft.

You will thrive here if you take ownership of your work end-to-end, find your own path to getting things done, and bring genuine curiosity to the problems in front of you. We value people who understand why conventions exist before proposing to change them - who build credibility through delivery, then use it to shape how we work.

We embrace AI tools as a natural part of modern engineering, and we are looking for someone who shares that outlook.

Our culture - What we can offer you

We offer a working environment that is inclusive, stimulates innovation and continuous learning, and that thrives on growth and change.

Our culture is underpinned by our values; they are what we stand for, part of our DNA. They help us to attract and retain the right talent and customers, help us make the right decisions and clarify how we should all behave and treat one another, they are:

  • Delight every customer (Customers)
  • No bar too high (Excellence)
  • Give more than take (Sustainability)
  • Make the impossible, possible (Innovation)
  • Celebrate differences, act as one (Inclusion)

We also offer a number of benefits including:

  • Competitive salary - reviewed annually
  • 25 days annual leave, plus statutory bank holidays
  • TGIF: The last Friday of every month is a half day for our employees
  • Enhanced family leave policies
  • Salary Sacrifice Pension Scheme
  • Life Assurance of 4x salary
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Eyecare Policy
  • Dental Cash Plan
  • Stock Options (where applicable)
  • Free 24 hour access on-site gym
  • Discount Shopping & Wellbeing Platform
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Values Award Scheme
  • Cambridge Botanic Garden membership
  • Social events, game nights and sports groups

We are an equal opportunities employer, and aim to ensure all candidates are treated equally and fairly through the application process and beyond. We actively encourage applicants from under-represented backgrounds, and encourage our people to bring their authentic, original, and best selves to work. If you require assistance or an accommodation through the interview process due to a disability, to apply for one of our roles, please contact [email protected].
