About CYB

Caution Your Blast (CYB) is a collection of designers, researchers, and software engineers committed to using digital as a force for good. We love working together to solve complex problems and improve people’s lives - whether they be the citizens using services or the teams who build and operate them.

No need to take our word for it, though; you can have a look at our staff testimonials to get a better feel for life at CYB.

About the Full Stack Developer role

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Full Stack Developer to join our engineering profession. You will be responsible for delivering high quality solutions to meet the needs of our clients and their users.  

You will be joining a small, friendly and collaborative team of multi-disciplinary experts across product, research and design, that work with each other each day. This will give you the chance to voice your ideas and provide innovation for product enhancements. You’ll use lightweight agile ceremonies, based on teamwork and communication to find solutions and be adaptive to change.

As a member of the engineering profession, you will collaborate with your colleagues, share learning, exploring ideas in order to advance individually, and as a team to advance our practises. We hold regular roundtables and  engineering afternoons that allow us to get together to discuss ideas and try out new tech… (not to mention local eateries if you’re in London).

About the skills and mindset the Full Stack Developer will need to thrive

Skills and experience 

We’re looking for skilled practitioners with experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, specifically someone who has experience with:

  • Modern FE Framework (e.g. React, Vue.js, Svelte)

  • NodeJS

  • Typescript

  • Relational databases

  • Any unit testing framework (e.g. mocha/jest/lab/junit/etc.)

  • CI/CD (e.g. CircleCI/travis/jenkins/etc.)

Our stack also includes the following (although experience with these is not required):

  • AWS

  • Kubernetes

  • Docker

In addition to the above technical skills, we’d love to work with somebody who can:

  • rapidly build high-quality, user-centric applications that are fully test-driven

  • collaborate with teams to develop exceptional products and experiences that are tailored for their intended audience

  • confidently explain technical concepts and solutions to non-technical people and a range of stakeholders

  • experiment with new methods and technologies in a focussed way so that we can always keep one eye on improving the experience of our team and our users

Culture is really important to us, so if you enjoy learning, creating and collaborating, then we can be flexible on the above. Also, feel free to challenge us - what are we missing and what should we be using instead?

You as a person

CYB are passionate about making the most of digital. We want to work with people who share this passion and want to deliver exceptional user experiences. This means we’re looking for a:

  • creative thinker willing to try things out and learn from failure

  • problem solver who falls in love with problems, not their solutions

self-starter who can build momentum and is happy taking the initiative
