Who’s in my team?- You’ll be part of a cross-functional team that covers design, user testing, product management and software development. You’ll be leading software development, owning the technical direction of Moca.
- As we are a small team, we are not limited or tied to any process, you will play a big part in shaping the culture of Moca.
What technology will I be using?- You’ll be leading on this so it’s up to you, whatever you think is the right technology for the product. We will expect you to cover all aspects of development from spikes, initial discovery work to testing and release of products. Our current tech stack is:

- You challenge scope and requirements where necessary and provide valuable input in product and strategy discussions.
- You’re not afraid to give estimates.
- You enjoy pair programming and always seek to avoid knowledge silos within the team.
- You consider automated testing to be a key part of development, not an afterthought, and you write code that optimises for testability.
- You avoid over engineering and have proven your ability to build flexible software that can easily be altered to meet new requirements.
- You’re careful with the technology choices you make and consider things like ease of onboarding new developers, cost and popularity.
- You don’t hold your opinions too strongly and encourage the opinions of others regardless of their experience.
- You're comfortable starting new projects from scratch.
Where will I be based:- Moca is based in Bristol and we like people to be in the office for three days a week as we firmly believe that at this stage of growth and development there is a need for time face to face.
