Software Engineer (Mid)

Kitt designs and operates workspace for the world's most vibrant brands. From managing the design and build, to creating an elevated ongoing experience, we create spaces that are worth leaving home for.

The Role

Reporting directly into our Engineering Manager, you’ll be working on the full spectrum of our product range. Whilst you’ll have a focus on the front and back end software, we’ll also give you exposure to our full stack, meaning there’s plenty of opportunity to keep your Platform skills fresh, if that’s what you’d like to do.

You will be:

• Improving the internal tools we’ve made to empower our operations and sales teams to manage the whole office process, gathering insightful data along the way.
• Adding features to our tenant facing mobile app and website to create a seamless experience for them within their office.
• Building our third party supply chain app to help organise the day to day work being done across all of our buildings.
• Creating and maintaining microservices to power new features being built.
• Communicating with internal and external stakeholders to take product feedback.
• Contributing to our in house design system and component library.

Why Kitt? 

The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. But the problem is, too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie-cutter offices. We’re leading this change.

Real company culture can only be built in-person, in the real world – and for it to be authentic it needs its very own, personalised space. That’s why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We’re long-term culture partners to our clients long after they've signed the lease and chosen the paint colours.
