About us:

Autone is an AI-powered inventory optimisation platform helping retailers transform their business through data-driven decision-making. Founded by Adil Bouhdadi and Harry Glucksmann-Cheslaw, who previously built Alexander McQueen’s intelligence platform, Autone is today trusted by more than 50 global brands to reduce inventory waste, increase sales, and enhance efficiency.

A career with autone is an opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest minds, disrupting the retail industry for a better future. We favour in-office work with most people coming in 3-4 days a week to our Vauxhall office. We’re obviously flexible and considerate about it, but if you prefer working from home on a full-time basis this might not be the best gig for you.

And now to you!

We’re looking for a passionate & optimistic frontend engineer to join our growing product team. As a frontend developer, you will work closely with our product team to design, build, and maintain our React applications.

Your responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the product team to understand requirements and provide technical solution
  • Building modular, performant React components
  • Progress our migration from JavaScript to Typescript
  • Review code from colleagues
  • Improve development processes perhaps by introducing new tools or technologies

What we are looking for:

  • A minimum of 2:1 degree in a STEM subject (preferably Computer Science) or comparable experience
  • 1-2 years of experience as an engineer, preferably with some experience in an early stage startup!
  • Strong knowledge of TypeScript and React
  • Experience building performant components
  • Strong knowledge of frontend tooling and ecosystem
  • Someone product and design obsessed who loves to create a beautiful user experience
  • Someone who enjoys working in-office

The tech stack you’ll be working with

  • React
  • Typescript
  • Redux
  • We pride ourselves on being technologically agnostic, so while this is the current state of our tech-stack, we’re always open to new ideas and technologies that can improve the way we do things.

Why you’re going to love joining the team

  • Ability to have a huge impact within an early stage company, working directly with the founders
  • Being hands on with an agile and modern-tech stack with freedom to employ new technologies to achieve goals
  • Meritocratic driven career growth
  • Fortnightly team events - games nights, sporting events or even just a trip to our local pub
  • A competitive compensation package (including stock options)

The interview process

  • Takehome test (approx. 2hrs) - followed up by a 1.5hr test discussion interview
  • Meet VP Eng / CTO Co-Founder (1hr, 2x 30 min) - a chance for you to learn more about the company and our grand ambitions
