Role overview: Who we areGear4music is the largest retailer of musical instruments and equipment in the UK, and one of the largest in Europe. Our range includes over 50,000 products from nearly 900 manufacturers. We sell to over 190 countries, across 20 multilingual websites, 9 different currencies, shipping with more than 15 couriers, from 3 hubs in the UK, Germany and Sweden.Launched in 2003 by Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wass, our sales have grown quickly from £12M to £120M in the past 7 years. We’re not stopping there - in the first half of 2020 our technical team grew by 20%!Who we really areHere in our technical hub, we really care about people. We want you to grow and develop with us in a fully open and supportive environment. We want to hear your ideas and for you to be yourself in an atmosphere that encourages people’s individual personalities to shine.We pride ourselves on having a real culture here at Gear4music, we’re not an agency, we’re in-house and offer something that’s more than a token couple of beanbags and a PS4 you don’t have time to play. From important things like having a mental health first aider, silly things like our #cats Slack channel, the occasional #movienights, to the D&D club we didn’t even know we had!We’re techy to the core, with hands-on technical management through to board level. We pride ourselves on our flat structure where our directors sit in with the teams and are only a shoulder tap away when you need them. We encourage honest feedback, even if you’re critiquing your boss. We host regular knowledge-sharing lunches and have an active tech share channel for news, updates and all the latest releases.Who we’re notWe’re not the kind of people who’ll sell you a job based on gimmicks and recruiter-speak. We know you don’t want to hear how disruptive we are, how unique this opportunity is or how many boundaries we’re pushing.We’re also not an agency. You’ll have a chance to do your best work here, in a team who recognise that quality matters. You won’t be asked to skip writing tests because the client hasn’t paid for it.There is no need for you to bring your noise cancelling headphones to drown out the sound of the endless sales calls, because we have an open plan office where you’re only surrounded by like-minded developers.We truly believe in a healthy work/life balance. Here, our flexible hours allow you to start at a time that suits you, and you’re more likely to be told to go home than to stay late. That means getting home in time to tuck the kids into bed at night or get to that gig you’ve been looking forward to for ages.We might be a socially active bunch, but if something’s not your bag, there is no forced inclusion. So if those pints down the pub or board game themed socials don’t strike the right chord, you’ve got nothing to worry about.Who are you?You are a motivated, flexible and talented software engineer. As a leader, you’re excited about developing others, as well as keen to understand and learn from the many different perspectives of the team around you. You’re not a lone ranger but believe in a joined up and friendly work environment that delivers real projects. You’ll obsess over quality and performance, ensuring that implementations are always to the highest standard. You’re someone who takes pride in the things you do and likes to see things from beginning to end. You love the attention to detail and might even say it could be a strength and a weakness. You will champion new technologies when it’s right for the business.You’ll also need some personality. You’ll get bonus points if you’ve got strong GIF-game, and we’d love to know what you’re into (even if you’re really passionate about a specific brand of water.) We want to hear all your ideas and we want you to tell us what you think.Some of the skills and experience we’re looking for include:You will:Be an experienced leader and excellent communicator, who has successfully led large and diverse technical teams.Be a passionate advocate for high quality technical solutions, and championing new technologies when it’s the right choice.Have previously been involved in the architecture of complex, inter-linked systems.Be comfortable working and communicating at a senior level with business stakeholders, engineers, project managers and business analysts.Be able to assess and understand the impact of several in-flight projects, understand how they’ll change our platform and reduce cross-project conflicts in approach.Be keen to train those around you, to help them make well-informed and effective technical and architectural decisions.From a technical point of view, you’ll have:A solid understanding of modern object-oriented PHP, design patterns, etc.Experience of interface development with HTML, SCSS, JavaScript (preferably including ES6 and React. If you know legacy ExtJS that might come in handy).Strong MySQL knowledge, working with large & complex schemas.A background in commercial development, preferably in e-commerce or high volume transactional systems.Experience with cloud computing.Experience building highly scalable and complex distributed systems.An interest in web software performance (from micro-optimisations in PHP code, MySQL schemas and queries through to progressive web.)Knowledge of or experience with any or all of these technologies: Git + Github, Docker, Google Cloud, Composer, ElasticSearch, Ansible, Continuous Integration, PHPUnit, Kubernetes, xhprof.Don’t worry if you can’t tick all of these boxes!
