We have grand ambitions to make Dayshape the most usable, scalable, flexible and rapid to deploy solution on the market, and we’re not there yet.\nOur tech leads are great with people, helping to elevate their team and the work they do, as well as being able to get stuck in technically.

You will take ownership of features and technical initiatives and make sure they are successful.\nThe time split between technical planning and delivery, and line-management will depend on the size of your team.

We don't mandate required office days, but we find that most of the team enjoy working from the office 2-3 days a week to connect with their team and other Dayshapers and to make use of space, and for meetings and collaboration. We are open to considering remote for the right candidate, as long as you are based in the UK.\nJoin the team!\nEquality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.\nThis is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how we scale our application architecture to reflect the large client base we have developed.
