Software Engineer II (Front-End - Next.js)

MOO brings brands to life in a sustainable way, with a range of remarkable print and merchandise products. We combine design, technology, manufacturing and service, so that people can connect in memorable ways. Not online but out there, in real life.

 

We started in 2004. Since then we’ve built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings that make most businesses want to give up and hire an army of review bots. We’ve got half a million customers, mostly small and medium businesses in North America, the UK, and Europe – businesses that, like us, get all excited about putting something real and beautiful into people’s hands. Does that make us nerds? Probably, and we’re ok with that. 

 

We’ve been given the highest business award in Britain, ‘The Queen’s Award for Enterprise’. Backed by venture capital, we’re part of Tech Nation’s ‘Future Fifty’, recently passing $1bn in lifetime revenue, and featuring in the Guardian’s top 10 UK start-ups list. Ok, we’ll stop bragging now.

 

Today, we’re more than 400 people with our global HQ in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO and with our most recent office expansion in Cape Town South Africa.

The Browse team focuses on our e-commerce storefront upper-funnel. We're dedicated to our customers' browsing experience and the product data that drives our catalog. Our place in the journey means we typically deal with the highest traffic volumes and continue to drive growth through experimentation and innovation.

We are looking for a Middleweight Software Engineer to join the Browse team. We're a front-end focused team but also manage apects of product data and integrations to other parts of the e-commerce and fulfilment journeys. The successful candidate will have solid React skills and ideally some experience with Next.js, or a similar React-based framework, using Typescript. If you've worked with, or had exposure to,  React Testing Library and Storybook as part of a Design System, that would be a bonus!

What’s it like to work at MOO? 

MOO’s the kind of workplace where you can really be yourself. Dye your hair purple. Hit the sofa with your laptop. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and happy at work.

That’s why we offer 25 days holiday rising by one day for each year here (for 5 years), a matched pension scheme, and paid parental leave. We’ll offer you private healthcare, life insurance, a season ticket loan, and a cycle to work scheme. We also offer flexible work schedules with hybrid and remote working for certain roles as well as a Work From Anywhere program.
