Tech lead / full-stack developer

N.B - please no recruiters, agencies or dvelopment companies

🚀 We're on a mission building the next UK 🦄 while also doing some good for society. We're on the hunt for a technical whizz to shape our future and lead our tech (and potentially co-founder)!

About us
🤯 Every day, thousands of people face issues with their 👨🏽‍💼 landlords, 👔 employers, 🧛‍♀️ neighbours, 👷 rogue traders and 💼 unscrupulous companies.

Facing redundancy, eviction or furlough, despite laws existing to protect us, far too many of us say "there's nothing I can do about it" and put up with it.

We're here to change that!

Lawya gives everybody, through a super-simple interface, the lawyer they always wished they had in their pocket.

❓ Want to know if your landlord can pay an unexpected inspection? We've got the answer!
❓ Want to know if you're entitled to redundancy pay? We've got the answer!
❓ Want to know if you can visit your friends in a pub garden on the third Sunday of the month in Liverpool? We have the answer!

We've just raise a pre-seed round of funding lead by one of London's top law firms and are now expanding to attack this problem with full might.
