We have grown rapidly since launch and have substantial venture capital backing with investors who’ve backed other successful D2C brands like HelloFresh, Spoke and Waterdrop.
We are looking for a talented and versatile developer to join us and manage our technology stack end to end — from custom development and data engineering through to platform management across our SaaS ecosystem.
We are based in Bath and meet once / twice a week in the office, working remotely otherwise. Applicants must live within the UK. Check us out at description
We are looking for a well-rounded technologist who thrives on variety and can move fluidly between writing code, digging into data and managing our wider platform ecosystem.
You must be all over the latest in AI opportunities, including the adoption of AI-supported code editors, experience prompting agentic development and AI code review, as well as enabling the adoption of wider AI tools across the business as required.
We operate a D2C subscription business on Shopify and Recharge, and need someone who can both build on top of that stack and help us make smarter decisions through data.
This role suits someone who is genuinely independent, comfortable context-switching between deep technical work and operational platform management, and hungry to learn as our needs evolve.
Split of activities
- 60% — Custom development: building features, integrations and tooling on top of our Shopify / Recharge stack
- 20% — Data engineering and analysis: building and maintaining data pipelines, producing insights on business metrics and supporting commercial decision-making
- 20% — Platform and SaaS management: owning our wider technology ecosystem, evaluating tools and ensuring everything runs reliably
Key responsibilities
- Plan, build and deploy custom features and integrations across our Shopify and Recharge platform - being pragmatic, knowing when to build vs use off the shelf
- Supporting the team with technical leadership and decision making
- Always looking to improve UX, building customer-centred UIs and great user experiences
- Bringing a security-first mindset – dealing with sensitive customer data and subscription payment tokens
- Develop and maintain internal tooling to support operations, marketing and product teams
- Design and manage data pipelines to centralise and clean business metrics
- Produce clear, actionable data analysis to support commercial and operational decisions
- Own and administer our SaaS technology ecosystem, evaluating new tools and managing existing ones
- Identify and resolve technical issues across the stack proactively
- Work closely with the leadership team to translate business needs into technical solutions
- Document systems, processes and decisions to keep institutional knowledge accessible
Skills and experience
- Solid full-stack development experience, ideally with Shopify (Liquid, Shopify APIs) and subscription platforms such as Recharge
- Expertise in full stack development – ideally Node.js on the backend but could be Ruby/Python; and Vue, React or Angular on the frontend.
- Experience building and maintaining data pipelines, with strong SQL and familiarity with analytics tooling
- Ability to conduct meaningful data analysis and communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable managing and integrating third-party SaaS tools (CRM, analytics, support, etc.)
- Strong problem-solving instincts with the ability to work autonomously and prioritise without hand-holding
- Excellent written communication skills for async, remote collaboration
- Demonstrated ability to switch between different types of technical work within the same week
Nice to have
- Experience working within a D2C or subscription e-commerce business
- Familiarity with BigQuery, Looker Studio and Fivetran or similar data stack tooling
- Understanding of paid media tracking, attribution and analytics integrations
The role will be well remunerated, based on level of experience, with significant personal development opportunities working in a dynamic and fast paced environment. xwzovoh
