Job description

Description

We are looking for software developers who are motivated by working on software that has a measurable impact on business. As a consultant at Columbia Road, you will be working in the core of our clients’ business; advising, designing and implementing the tech needed to drive the business forward.

Job description

You build businesses with code. You build storefronts, APIs and the integrations needed to glue them together. Your focus is likely on some part of the stack, be it frontend, backend or something like complex integrations but you aren’t too afraid to get your hands dirty with the other areas when necessary. You are comfortable working with a variety of programming languages and technology stacks - or at least you are interested to jump in and learn new skills. Columbia Road is not trying to provide the same solution to everyone, and sometimes that requires quite a bit of adapting from our side.

The focus on digital sales still means that we are tackling a large variety of projects. These range from ecommerce platform and data platform projects to site optimisation and mobile development. For a few concrete examples of our tech cases, take a look at the Servaali case of a new microservice business-to-business shop, the full webstore renewal project for Oura, and our work for Matsmart in the optimisation of an existing store.

All of our consultants work directly with client stakeholders to build a good understanding of their business and its challenges. While development is probably where most of your time goes, we are in the business of creating impact for our clients, and that means spending some time to understand how the business functions. We help our clients in translating business opportunities into actionable plans and concrete solutions.

We work as diverse teams of digital sales experts, tailored to each project. In some projects, this means working as part of a larger development team, while sometimes the setup needed is a growth team. As we believe that best results arise from freedom for employees, all teams have wide latitude to choose the best tools and ways of working for themselves. This also means that your technology stack and specific role may vary between projects. We see this as a great opportunity for professional growth and are looking for colleagues who also value this.

Requirements

• Experience in building web services and familiarity with both frontend and backend development. Your focus can be more on the frontend, backend or broader systems but you aren’t afraid to jump into any point. Languages familiar to you could include e.g. Scala, Go, Python, Java, JS or PHP.
• Understanding of the entire web development process (design, development, deployment, operations)
• Great communication skills
• Analytical mindset and problem-solving skills
• Past experience in consulting or digital commerce would be very valuable but is not necessary
