Oodle has offices in Manchester, London, and Oxford. Many of Oodle’s frontend engineers are based around Manchester.

You will mainly work in React Native + Expo in Typescript, with data coming from an Apollo GraphQL backend-for-frontend (BFF) and upstream Node.js microservices. You will also interact with APIs written by other parts of the business in Java, Python, and Salesforce (Apex).

Outside of the mobile app, you will have opportunities to contribute to our our Node.js back-end services and BFFs, as well as our web frontends built with React and Next.js.

What you’ll be getting up to:

• Collaborate with product managers, designers and developers to deliver both new functionality and iterative improvements to customer-facing experience
• Build an efficient, extensible and testable mobile app
• Review code built by your team
• Collaborate and contribute to shared tooling
• Actively participate in your team's Scrum ceremonies
• Assist the team lead with architecting new features and refactors

Technical Skills we need for this role:

• Publishing apps to the App Store and Google Play Store
• Implementing responsive designs
• Willingness to work on our websites
• Using a JavaScript testing framework (Jest/Mocha etc)
• Integrating with 3rd party APIs
• Experience with git version control, as well as modern IDE (VSCode, neoVim)
• Not afraid of documentation, willing to experiment with new ideas and technologies

These are nice-to-have skills (We’re happy to train):

• Experience with Next.js, React Native Testing Library, Framer, GraphQL, Apollo Server
• Understanding of continuous development and continuous integration patterns.
• Mentoring/upskilling fellow team-members
• Experience working with/on a component library or a design system (such as Material Design or React Native Paper)
