Company mission
Lavanda's mission is to help real estate businesses stay one step ahead.
Role
Who you are
- You will have previous significant experience as a developer in a professional setting (on average, if you don't have a few years of experience as a developer building software in a TDD and continuous integration sort of setting, this position is probably not suitable for you just yet) and are a strong supporter of highly collaborative Product minded development environments
- We expect you to be relative autonomous in writing well designed and tested code (strong preference for TDD)
- You'll communicate using English language fluidly
- You'll have deep familiarity with at least one of our core languages (Javascript, Typescript, Ruby) - bonus points for one or more of the following frameworks/libraries: Sinatra, Rails, Hanami, Angular, React, Next.JS
- If you're by nature a Frontend inclined developer, you'll have experience with responsive design realisation (strong CSS skills, mobile-first web development and/or experience building PWAs)
- You'll understand good automated testing practices and ideally be a TDD practitioner (experience with one or more of the following highly recommended: rspec/ minispec, capybara, cucumber, jasmine, karma, mocha, chai, jest, enzymejs, cypress)
- You'll have a highly collaborative attitude and be willing to spend the great majority of the time (80+%) doing pair programming
- You'll be deeply familiar with at least one Agile framework
- You'll know git inside out and be familiar with "Git Feature Branch Workflow"
- Have a dev-ops as a culture and mindset. Providing a solution for a CD/CI yourself, making the best artifact for your solution, instead of relaying on others to make that decision for you
What the job involves
- You'll be part of a delivery squad where you'll work closely with a squad lead engineer, a product manager, a UX designer, a QA engineer and other engineers - including pair programming with the engineering peers
- Every day: 15 min time-boxed remote standup involving the entire Product team (12 people currently) at 9 AM UK time; quite a bit of remote pairing with different members of the team
- Periodically: Frontend/Backend guild led architecture workshops
- This is a permanent role available for people who are willing to work UK hours (we usually work from 9am-6pm with ~1h break for lunch)

Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
As real estate, hospitality, and travel converge, there are more opportunities for landlords to fill empty spaces and make real returns on their portfolio. Historically, however, this has required a level of flexibility and cross-platform management that made logistics almost prohibitively complex. Especially when it comes to residential apartment buildings. Lavanda is hoping to change that, with a platform helping landlords boost net operating income by remaining flexible to different kinds of rental requirements, and to capitalise on seasonal demand.
This means that landlords who were traditionally pegged to the residential market are now able to start building up hospitality brands of their own, which can provide a significant incremental value boost over time. The concept is proving remarkably popular, and Lavanda is growing and developing its product fast. Lavanda are now partnering to offer services in the UAE and on a new UK based platform JLL Short Stays. This speaks highly of the team’s strategic acumen, which will serve them well as the market continues to develop.
