Lottie | London, UK | Full Stack Engineer | Full-Time | Hybrid preferred, Remote OK, Onsite OK. Visa possible | https://www.lottie.org

We're building the best way for the elderly age group to find their dream care home. There are huge opportunities in the sector for technology to improve the way care homes are built, used and run.

We launched with our MVP a few weeks ago. We’re looking for our first in-house engineer to help us iterate away from MVP and grow a team.

The site is built in Wordpress but we know we need to move away from that ASAP. Some components are React already so the stack will likely be React + [backend of your choice].

Apply by emailing [email protected] (no recruiters please)

Lendable - https://www.lendable.co.uk/ - Leicester Square, London, UK

We're looking for an onsite developer to own/rebuild our customer-facing site/journey. Choose your own stack, back end is Symfony2. Longer term, we have big plans for interesting ways we can use behaviour tracking, and making our user journey best-in-class.

If you're interested, send us relevant links/info to [email protected] (No Recruiters!)

Ask HN: JavaScript-based analytics pushing to SQL db?

There are lots of analytics platforms (Piwik, MixPanel, keen.io, GA), but they all have their own pre-made reporting, or are restricted in the data you can get out. For a low traffic volume, high visitor value site, we want to be able to query visitor/pageview/events to answer specific questions.Does anyone know of a platform/library that does this so we don't have to build from scratch?...

Alphalend (www.alphalend.com) - London - First non-founding developer(s)

=== TL;DR ===

We believe that banking should be driven by the latest and greatest technologies, not legacy systems. As technology evolves, banking processes should evolve in sync, not lag behind. That is our goal here at Alphalend: to supercharge consumer lending and revolutionise the industry’s standard practice . Technology moves fast… nothing you read below is set in stone and everyone who joins our team is expected to continually drive us to do better. If this sounds like you, please get in touch: [email protected]

=== Who are we? ===

We are a small, passionate and energetic team of exceptional people funded by some of Europe’s most respected angel investors. Our vision is to move banking into the 21st century. We have the plan, the backing and the skills to make it happen but we need additional talented devs to push us further and faster.

=== Who are you? ===

You are a leader: you imagine, share, collaborate and create. You have the skills and experience to improve and evolve our development strategy, but most of all you always want to keep learning. You relish the idea of joining a fast-growing company that is using cutting edge technology to redefine the world of retail banking. An understanding of IoC, its benefits and drawbacks, quality testing and experience working in early stage teams are the key skills required given our current setup. Our technology stack will evolve, however, so you should love to experiment, always striving to find the best means to achieve the goal at hand, and always be keen to explore new technologies that would improve our product.

=== What we offer: ===

Market-leading compensation

25 days holiday + public holidays

Whatever equipment you need to get the job done - you choose

Flexible working hours whenever possible. Occasional working from home

7th floor office with the best view of any office you’ve worked in, guaranteed

Opportunity to be our first non founding developer, take a key role in recruiting the team and evolving our development strategy

=== Technology: ===

Platform built on Symfony 2.4

Doctrine2 using MySQL on Amazon RDS. Doctrine migrations for DB updates.

PHP5.5 and Apache running on Amazon EC2

Testing with PHPUnit. Coverage currently around 30%, ideally you can help improve this. BDD lover? Please teach me!

Jenkins used for automated build and deployment

Git for version control

Lots of 3rd party APIs used to gather data (REST and SOAP)

Machine learning (fuzzy logic and neural networks) for the most intelligent risk assessment and pricing possible.

Extensive analytics driven marketing.

No legacy code, all written in the last 6 months

=== How we work: ===

Our development methodology is currently very agile and approaches continuous deployment. We regularly do several live deployments per day. A feature implementation would go something like: Feature branch -> implement -> code review -> merge to development -> test on dev -> merge to master -> deploy to live.

=== Interested? ===

Alphalend - Hiring Software Engineers - London, UK

http://www.alphalend.com/

We're taking the opportunity to build a 21st century financial institution, from scratch. After retail (Amazon) and media (Google), finance is the last great intermediating industry, and the one best suited to being conquered by a tech company.

Here at Alphalend we're doing just that. Things have been moving fast: founded in January, seed funded by May, operations up and running by June, we're now in urgent need of the best and brightest programmers to turn our vision into reality. We've set up a fully-functioning lending platform and are working on a series of game-changing projects, for which we need talent.

Our first product: the world's fastest P2P lending platform, powered by real-time automated credit decisions and risk pricing.

We're running LAMP (Symfony2) + jQuery, but as we branch out, we'll be looking to use the best technology for the task.

You'll be joining a recently-funded, small team as developer #2 and employee #6, with plenty of opportunity to shape the direction of the company and culture.

If you're interested, please drop us a line at [email protected]
