Software Engineer

We're currently in the middle of a really exciting period of growth here at Harbr. We've been around since 2017, but until May this year, we had been operating in stealth-mode while we focussed on building the best product possible. In November 2020, 6 months after emerging from stealth, we announced our $38.5m Series A, led by Dawn Capital and Tiger Global. We've already started to onboard a series of exciting enterprise clients, and are looking to grow the team at lightning pace.

The goal now is to realise the full potential of the platform. With that in mind we're looking for world-class Software Engineering talent to help us build features and functionality that push the platform to the next level. We have a backend focussed role in mind, but if you're interested in the frontend, infrastructure or data elements of the platform, there's definitely scope to get involved.

Day to day, most of your development will likely be in Python, however we value strong Engineering principles and unteachable qualities more than years of experience using our tech stack.

As with all of our roles, this can be based from anywhere in the UK or the US, with the option to work 100% remotely forever.
