Senior Software Developer

TAPPP is leading the charge in bringing premium digital entertainment content & live sports to global consumers via its prepaid platform. TAPPP is available across platforms via the Web, Mobile and Tablets. Building out this brand presents significant product and engineering challenges. At the centre of solving those challenges is the TAPPP Product Engineering team which is responsible for the TAPPP product end to end.

We are looking for a coding enthusiast who love working with code and developing software systems.

You will be a part of the core product development team that is responsible for building different components of the TAPPP platform. You will be responsible for designing, coding, reviewing, testing, bug-fixing different modules of the software product that needs to work seamlessly across different environments.

The organization is flat, process is minimal, individual responsibility is big, and there is an emphasis on keeping non-productive influences out of the everyday technical decision making process. Upholding these philosophies will be imperative as we execute our aggressive plan of global expansion over the next 2 years. The position is based in Mumbai, India.

Here is what we are looking for:

• Deep product development experience and sound understanding into these technologies

• Java/J2EE

• Spring

• Hibernate

• RESTful API's

• MySQL

• Tomcat 7

• Exposure on Grails & Amazon AWS will be a plus point

• Strong independent contributor

• An unquenchable desire to learn, attention to detail with a can-do attitude

• Comfortable working in a start-up environment

Our front-end applications are written in React with TypeScript using Gatsby and Next.js. For our REST and GraphQL APIs we use TypeScript and NodeJS, with PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch behind the scenes.

All of our services are hosted on AWS using Elastic Kubernetes Service. CI/CD is handled by Jenkins, with automated Docker builds and deployments to staging. We use Github and JIRA to help us keep on top of our tasks, manage and host our code.

We have a strong culture for testing. We are individually responsible for our work and are immensely proud of the quality we produce. We try and automate as much of the testing as possible.

We have a learning and development budget for keeping up to date which can be spent on conferences, courses, and even books. We encourage sharing what we learn with the rest of the team and the wider community.

We are truly cross-functional: as well as designers and product managers, our teams include data analysts, mortgage advisers and marketing specialists. We’re focused on results: meetings are banned two days a week, and if you need to work from home to finish a project or leave early to manage your energy we encourage you to take it.
