  • Contribute to open-source software

Who are you

  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering
  • Experience working with Node.js
  • Experience consuming from APIs (such as REST or GraphQL APIs)
  • Experience building and maintaining backend services, serverless experience is a bonus
  • Willing to participate in our on-call rota
  • Upper-intermediate proficiency in spoken and written English

What we’re offering

  • Competitive salary to reflect your skills and experience
  • Benefits package

  • Remote opportunity with occasional get-togethers
  • Smart working practices with flexible working hours
  • Working environment that values excellence and kindness

About us

At LoveCrafts we’re building online communities for crafters: homes for makers where they can find inspiration for their latest projects, learn new techniques, easily source all their supplies and share their creations with like-minded makers around the world.

Since launching in 2012, we’ve grown incredibly quickly. Our membership in the prestigious Future Fifty and 20th place on the FT’s list of fastest growing European companies is thanks to the hard work of our team of smart, kind makers based in London, Kyiv and in the USA.  We’ve been fuelled by investment from Europe’s leading venture capital firms; Balderton Capital (LoveFilm, The Hut) funded our Series A round, followed by Highland Europe (Photobox, WeTransfer) and most recently Scottish Equity Partners (Skyscanner, Matches Fashion).

We’re playing with the very best in web, mobile, social, commerce and media technology as we create the perfect digital business for all things craft related. Our team is filled with ambitious, curious, entrepreneurial and occasionally kooky makers. We hire and nurture inquisitive, creative minds looking to flourish in a supportive and collaborative environment.
