Staff Engineer - Full Stack Development

Who are we
Sahaj is an artisanal software engineering consultancy built on the values of trust, respect, curiosity, and craftsmanship, and delivering purpose-built solutions to drive data-led transformation for organisations. Our emphasis is on craft as we create purpose-built solutions with a razor-sharp focus to solve complex business and technology challenges, and provide customers with a competitive edge.

What you'll do in this role
This role is ideal for those looking to have a large impact and huge scope for growth, while still being hands on with technology. The role also comes with the opportunity to work within the Data Engineering / Machine Learning space. You’ll feel at home if you are grounded, opinionated and passionate about building things using technology. Our tech stack ranges widely with language ecosystems like Scala, Java, Golang, Elixir, Python, .Net, Nodejs or even Rust.

• You will often work in small pizza-teams of 2-5 people where a well-founded argument holds more weight than the years of experience.
• You will work with customers across domains like retail, banking, publishing, social, education, adtech and more
• Produce high quality code that allows us to put solutions into production
• Utilise DevOps tools and practices to build and deploy software
• The teams you work with will have experienced and smart people with no roles. The team will self-organise without oversight to own and deliver solutions end to end.
• You will work in short sprints to deliver working software.
