  • We're a cloud-first organisation, with AWS being our cloud provider of choice, and our preferred programming languages are Java - with Spring - and Javascript - using Vue.js
  • We’re not against exploring other languages where appropriate, with other projects using Python and TypeScript
  • And of course, no scale up would be complete without a legacy PHP stack we’re slowly migrating away from! Well, no-one’s perfect…
  • Troubleshoot and solve complex software issues using the coding languages above to help scale and future proof the business
  • Deliver excellent production ready, logical and pragmatic code in the following languages, following best-in-class agile processes
  • Communicate and collaborate working with technical and non-technical stakeholders to anticipate and communicate blockers, manage expectations and solve problems

  • Mentor and coach more junior team members

Salary benchmarks

Our take

When AnyVan founder Angus discovered that 50% of all vehicles on the road were half empty and had plenty of space to carry other items, he started AnyVan to give drivers the opportunity to use their empty space to make money and offer customers cost effective solutions to move their items and reduce the volume of vans on the road.

AnyVan offers delivery solutions for consumers, businesses and retailers, facilitating both on-demand and advanced bookings. Since launch, AnyVan has focussed predominantly on the consumer market utilising technology to shake up the traditional logistics model.

Driver tracking, two-hour collection & delivery time slots and evolving from reverse auction models to instant pricing has helped growth. As the property market boomed in the previous few years with people wanting to move homes and an increased demand for freight and retailers to deliver for their customers, the company has seen consistent growth.
