About PerchPeek

Finding the right home in the right neighbourhood is hard enough. When you're in a new country, it can seem almost impossible.

That's where PerchPeek comes in. We're an AI-powered Home Search Assistant, supporting you through your home search - from start to finish.

Position

Remote working at present, with the potential to relocate in the future.

The core objective for this role:

Developing and Maintaining web applications for both our business and consumer users. Everything you do will underpin this objective so if it’s not on the list, but you can think of it, then it’s likely you’ll be doing it!

Here are the basics though:

• Writing reusable, testable, maintainable and efficient code in ReactJS
• Work with Product manager, CTO, other developers and UI designers
• Build modular and responsive code
• Integrate with our backend API 
• You’ll support our Chief Technology Officer in measuring how happy our customers and business users are

A couple of additional areas to note:

• We know you have a life beyond work and we work hard to make sure that our team has the right balance but it would be remiss for us not to add at this stage that you may need to provide cover and work shifts outside of normal business hours such as weekends and bank holidays
• We want you to contribute to other areas that interest you too. We are a young startup and “Think Big’ is one of core values, so you’ll have the opportunity to drive the business forward in areas beyond tech too
• Finally, if you excel, there’s a great opportunity to lead the team as it grows in the future

You should join us if: Our core values align to your own values. These really matter to us, so we need them to matter to you too.

Before you consider applying, please take the time to think whether you’reready to commit to each of them every day.

In terms of the type of person we’re looking for:

• Customer Obsessed
• Organised & Efficient
• Relentlessly Focused on Delivery
• Logical Thinker
• Curious
