Job description
We are looking for a highly skilled backend developer with experience in at least one of these languages (Go/Node.js/PHP) and some dev ops (AWS) knowledge. As an early stage start-up we need someone with a can-do attitude who is happy to jump in and get their hands dirty which could be anything from learning a new language, building an API in Laravel or optimizing an AWS pipeline. You will get the chance to work with numerous different technologies, have a say in how we drive the company forward and learn a ton along the way.

Normally wear a suit to interviews? Probably not your gig..

Benefits

* Share options so early contributors benefit from our success.

* Flexible working hours mean a family & life friendly environment.

* Fortnightly brainstorming team lunches.

* Flexible office or home working.

* We'll provide the laptop and IT you need to do your best work (macbook pro with monitors - you name it!).

* Book budget - order it no questions asked.

* Friday pub sessions.

WHO ARE WE?

Chronomics is an ambitious health tech start-up that believes people should be in charge of their own health. Health management should be proactive, not reactive and it should be personalised.

We are using longitudinal biological data to bring about this revolution. A revolution where not only will people be in control of their own future but also in control of how they contribute to the future of humanity through the use of their data.

WHO DO YOU NEED TO BE?

We’re about openness, integrity, accessibility and great communication so these should be qualities that you have too. The usability of our products, open exchange of ideas with our collaborators and the commitment to our customer’s data ownership are values we won’t budge on and so we’ll want you to exemplify these too.

We recognise and respect the work each of us does. You won’t find micro-management or pettiness on our watch. We also have lives outside of our work and that’s just as important as our business. If we have a role to suit you, it’s an incredible opportunity to join not just a start up with an excellent culture, but a community dedicated to making fundamental changes to how we live.
