Checkatrade

If you’re in the UK, you’ve probably heard our jingle or received a directory in the post. We’re a platform for finding thoroughly vetted tradespeople. We’re hiring for a couple of software engineering positions including a Staff Engineer in the Monetisation team (backfilling me). This team’s backend is pretty .NET heavy but the rest of the stack is PERN. If you’re building a new service, you can take your pick. The company has been around for a while but with our new leadership we’ve really leaned into digitising an otherwise offline industry. It’s pretty fun.
