Rocketmakers is an award-winning software agency in the centre of Bath. With a close-knit team of talented professionals, we have been providing innovative software solutions to our clients for 16 years. Our relaxed and collaborative work environment fosters creativity and personal growth, making us a fantastic choice for developing as a software engineer.

As a B Corp-certified business, we aim to strike a fine balance between purpose and profit which is reflected across our client portfolio and our story-telling. We aspire to make a positive impact on the world by considering the social and environmental implications of our work.

In just the last couple of years we've received awards for best workplace, innovation and technology, employer of the year, developer of the year and business of the year to name a few.

One of our goals is to have a positive impact on people's lives through the software that we build, and we deliver some amazing work across a wide range of sectors. Take a look at some of our projects.

Requirements

As a frontend software engineer, you'll love working with us if:

You're genuinely passionate about turning innovative ideas into reality using the latest technology
You want to improve people's lives through the software you build
You deeply care about the quality of your work and the people you work closely with

Working at the forefront of technology means we don't expect you to know our exact tech stack - we know that next year the technology landscape will be different! That said, our current typical frontend technologies are:

Typescript/Javascript
React.js (NextJS)
SASS, CSS Modules
Capacitor

The nature of the work we do means there is often the opportunity to work outside of the typical stack so nice to haves would be:

Unity or Unreal
Blender or other 3D modelling software
Mixed reality technologies
Experience with LLM's or other AI powered services

You'll be working with a mixed delivery team comprised of project managers, backend engineers and designers so experience of the following would be ideal:

Integrating with APIs
GIT based source control
Continuous integration and release (Web and Native applications)
Agile methodology
Implementing designs and UX flows created in Figma
Good team and client communication skills

At Rocketmakers our priority is to find the right crew member to join us, who wants to contribute to our success while embodying the core values that were chosen by our team - Happiness in our Work, Continuous Learning, Excellence & Expertise, Teamwork, Honesty, Positive Impact Mindset.
