Role
Who you are
- Prior exposure to our stack (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node & AWS) is a plus. However, we know the best engineers can pick up new tools quickly and a growth mindset coupled with strong fundamentals is more important than knowledge of specific frameworks or languages
- You enjoy building products in cross-discipline teams using an iterative approach, driven by user feedback and data insight and care deeply about providing a great user experience to customers
- You’re not afraid of ambiguity and thrive when helping set the direction of the team
- You understand the importance of prioritisation in your work to ensure a good balance between business impact and code quality
- You have interests that span the full stack - from building performant web experiences to debugging traffic latency in our AWS stack
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer you’ll get to work with a range of new and emerging technology and tools but also help to evolve what we use in the future
- We value engineering knowledge over specific coding languages, thus consider people from many backgrounds, but we are mainly TypeJavaScript focused
- Every day you’ll be working closely with peers in the wider product org to define the future of the product
- Engaging with designers to build and improve the UX of our core products
- Working with our data scientists to design, run and verify your work using state of the artour in-house experimentation and feature flagging frameworks
- Actively contributing to every stage in the product development lifecycle, and owning the development of new features from conception to completion
- Shaping the future of our tech platform across the full stack
- Working in a small, tight-knit team with a rapid iteration cycle - typically a week

Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Let's Do This is a marketplace for endurance events and, according to them, it's the largest in the world. By using its platform, people can find out details and exclusive information about different sporting events as well as being able to easily register. Let's Do This has already listed information about tens of thousands of events across the UK, US, and Australia on its platform since its establishment.
The company has successfully identified an under-served segment of the sports, leisure & experience market. In supporting people taking part in marathons and multi-sport events around the world, it is disrupting the fragmented £24bn global market for endurance challenges.
It boasts investors including Usain Bolt and Serena Williams, and the funding its raised will go towards expanding in the UK & the US as it looks to cement its market position.
