Better homebuying for everyone involved

Acre is rebuilding the UK's £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages.

Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We're covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We're guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.

Following a hugely successful 2023, where we proudly facilitated over £10 billion in mortgages for over 100,000 homebuyers, we are continuing to onboard some huge names in the mortgage industry and are looking to expand our team.

The role:

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer that wants to help build to help make the home buyer process better. Your role will be to work closely with other frontend developers and broader teams to deliver a smooth and seamless user experience for Acre. You will be highly motivated, be technology agnostic, and be passionate and proud of the work you produce. Our team believes in user-centric product design, and you will be building an iconic, beautiful system unlike anything in the market today.

What you'll be doing:

As a key role within the engineering team you will be responsible for the design, implementation and testing of the user interface that empowers consumers, brokers and operational functions to efficiently manage the mortgage research and application process.

You will be expected to write reusable, testable and efficient code that produces a seamless and beautiful user experience.

During our software development life cycle, you will be expected to work with the business as a whole, converting business requirements into development tasks as well as mentoring other team members.

You should be ambitious but also pragmatic when needed.

Additionally, as a Senior FE Developer, you'll be responsible for helping promote and ensure software engineering best practice and a culture of quality across the Frontend Development team.

Who you will be:

• Passionate about software engineering and about delivering a quality product.
• Enjoy creating beautiful and enjoyable user interfaces that delight users.
• Have an excellent understanding and experience with client-side JavaScript (Typescript), React, GraphQL, Apollo, and of course CSS and HTML.
• Committed to using automated testing platforms and unit tests to deliver readable, maintainable code.
• Proficient with issue management, code versioning, continuous integration and deployment tools.

What we offer:

• Chance to make an impact within a fully funded, early-stage Fintech start-up in a unique position to make a difference to the mortgage market.
• Competitive salary.
• Opportunity to earn grants from our EMI option scheme.
• One week of free accommodation for those relocating.
• Matched pension contribution up to 4%.
• Suite of healthcare benefits.
• Vibrant office in Shoreditch with monthly social events.
• See our careers page for more of what we offer.

We're looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is tackling a big problem space, then we'd love to hear from you.

We're eager to receive applications from all backgrounds, including from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there's anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know.
