Senior Software Engineer

The Role - Senior Software Engineer

The world's approach to therapy and coaching is changing - social norms are shifting and stigma is being eradicated. At Unmind, we're building a world class digital therapy and coaching platform that enables employees to talk to someone, no matter how big or small a challenge they may be facing.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Unmind Talk product team. You'll be joining our Talk Employee product team, owning the employee-facing experience - helping users to understand the benefits of therapy and coaching, matching them with the perfect practitioner and getting the most out of their care.

In this role, you'll get to:

• Collaborate closely with the team's Product Manager and Designer as a member of the product-trio to solve complex product challenges
• Identify lean solutions and guide the team to find the right balance between technical excellence and shipping value to our users
• Own existing (and future!) user facing features and the technical systems that power them - ensuring core journeys are covered by monitoring, automated alerting and tests at the appropriate level
• Represent your team's domain in the wider engineering forums - contributing to shaping our technical direction, surfacing and optimising benefits to the developer experience and achieving engineering's strategic goals

Skills and Experience

We encourage you to remove education from your CV upon application as qualifications are not a driving factor in our decision making and we are committed to tackling educational inequality. We firmly believe that no one is the finished article and that there should be learning in every role you do. However, some experience in the following is important for this position:

• Production experience working with React (in TypeScript), at a Senior Level
• Experience working with backend technologies, ideally within our existing stack (Go, Node.Js, AWS) or a willingness to learn (we'll provide training and support).
• Product-minded with a passion for delivering impactful solutions for our users and clients. You wield tech debt strategically in order to help the team ship quickly and make pragmatic tradeoffs.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity (we're a startup after-all) - remaining open-minded despite uncertainty and viewing change as an exciting opportunity to learn and grow.
• Experience mentoring/coaching other Engineers
