About us
Mayden is a growing software company, awarded Development Team of the Year at the 2018 UK IT Industry awards. We’re looking for experienced developers to join the team.
At Mayden we produce healthcare apps, mainly for supporting the recovery of people with mental health issues. We love that the work we do makes a difference, changing what’s possible for clinicians and patients.
We offer a phenomenal working environment, exciting opportunities to learn new skills and an excellent package of benefits including private health insurance and pension.
How we work
As a development team we work closely together, pair programming, white-boarding and architecting as a team and peer reviewing every line of code. We have fun while we work and are passionate about technology. We work in an agile way, using the Scrum framework to regularly deliver value to our customers.
We have a flat structure at Mayden. Our team members work together to share the responsibilities that managers would traditionally have. Nobody tells you how to do your job, we’re all here to support each other, not get in each other’s way.
The development team works with the product owner team to prepare work for sprints, we work with our account managers to give our customers the best possible experience, and we work with our ops team to make sure our apps are stable and running well.
Skills and experience
Our current tech stack includes (but isn’t limited to) PHP, Slim Framework, JavaScript, React and MySQL, but we don’t need you to have experience with these specifically, as long as you have commercial experience with other modern programming languages.
You should be able to demonstrate your experience with MVC frameworks and/or modern JavaScript frameworks.
Here are some other things that are important to us and our customers, you don’t have to have experience in all of these, just a willingness to learn:
- Accessibility best practices and standards when working on the front end
- Testing frameworks
- Software design best practices
- Source control, specifically Git
Successful candidates will:
• be passionate about the work we do as well as the technology we use
• enjoy working closely with both technical and non technical colleagues
• be comfortable with pair programming and with code being peer reviewed
• take a positive and proactive approach to problem solving both with their team and the wider company
• be keen to learn as well as to contribute to the development of others
• be comfortable working through problems with a team
Benefits
We offer a great working environment with an excellent package of benefits including:
• monthly developer lunches (we’ll bring the pizza)
• quarterly hack days
• personal training budget for professional development
• free onsite gym
• company pension
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy or sell annual leave after probation is completed)
• private health insurance
• life assurance
• free onsite parking
This role will be based in our offices in Oldfield Park, Bath. We work best together and believe there is significant benefit from working face to face for the work and working relationships. As a general guideline, we believe it would be difficult to maintain effective communication if you are in the office for less than half of your working time. This has informed our approach to our place of work policy, which allows for some working at home depending on the needs of the business and teams.
