The client you’ll work with:
WeShop is a community-owned shopping platform with a social twist. People shop through WeShop from 500+ major online retailers (and new ones are added regularly), while also sharing finds, making recommendations and discovering products through the community. What makes it different is ShareBack® - a reward model where purchases and activity can turn into real shares in the company, so users can become co-owners, not just customers.At its core, WeShop is building a global social commerce ecosystem where shopping, sharing and ownership are connected. People shop as they normally would, but instead of just being customers, they get the chance to be part of the company’s success.
The innovative social-commerce platform launched in the UK in 2022, is publicly listed on Nasdaq, and expanded into the US market in 2025.
The role:
We are looking for an experienced Full-Stack Engineer, who will be involved in the continued development and evolution of WeShop’s platform, working across different web applications.
Responsibilities
You’ll contribute to maintaining and improving the existing product, optimising performance, and developing new functionality as the platform continues to grow.
A particularly interesting part of the role will be the opportunity to get involved in building a new WeShop web application from scratch. You’ll be joining at an early stage and will have the chance to contribute to how the application is designed and structured, as well as taking an active role in its development from the ground up.
Alongside this, you’ll continue working with the APIs used by WeShop’s mobile applications, the processes and integrations connecting the platform with external services, and the internal tools used by WeShop’s teams.
You’ll work closely with mobile engineers, testers and other specialists across the business, contributing to technical discussions and helping turn product ideas and requirements into reliable, maintainable solutions. There will be plenty of scope to take ownership of your work, influence technical decisions and contribute to the overall quality of the product as it develops.
