The Mr & Mrs Smith technology team takes responsibility for creating and updating a large variety of global systems. Comprising complex databases, highly functional back-end microservices, customer-facing APIs and websites, we apply many of the same principles across the board – our obsession with detail, our desire to share knowledge, and our belief in building quality in. 

We are a growing team, with back-end and front-end developers,  QAs, designers/UX, DevOps engineers, data engineers/analysts and product owners, organized into cross-functional scrum teams. We look to remain ahead of the curve and adopt leading edge technologies where these can help us achieve our goals and targets.

While the company is London based, our teams now operate full remotely, with members across Europe, Asia and Americas.

We hold regular knowledge-sharing sessions and often go to industry meet-ups.

Our technology stack is primarily built around PHP 7 and Symfony framework, all running with MySQL, Cassandra, Redis, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Nginx & other technologies on AWS. We use Jenkins, PHPUnit, PHPSpec Cypress and Selenium to contribute to our quality management. Our code base is managed via Git and Gitlab. Recently we added GoLang and NodeJs + GraphQL to the technology stack. 

Our infrastructure is all in the AWS cloud and managed through Docker, Ansible and Kubernetes.  Our data is stored in Aurora MySQL and Elasticsearch clusters with websites and microserves hosted on EC2 auto scaling groups.

You will be working collaboratively as a member of an amazing team developing and operating our website, APIs and back end systems. It is important that you support the company's highly agile development environment by applying creative and independent thinking to complete project objectives.

We share all our ideas about architectural design issues within the tech team.
