Work with us
Come and join us to build some amazing products and platforms for some of the hottest e-commerce brands and international charities.
About us
We build digital products and platforms for some of the largest global charities and fastest growing e-commerce brands.
Being a boutique development agency allows us the freedom to choose the projects we work on and fit these around the lifestyle of our team. The entire staff is based in the South East of England; however all of our engineering roles are now entirely remote. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
We are a small growing business and as such you will have an opportunity to shape the role around your strengths.
Our tech stack
Cygnet uses a range of technologies to achieve our customers goals.
The backend applications we build consist of Go (with some legacy Node.js) which interact with a Cockroachdb database. We’ve used gqlgen.com, protobuf, Twirp, and OpenAPI across various projects to build API’s.
Next.js is our frontend framework of choice, mostly using GraphQL or RPC to connect to backend services.
We use various tooling to deploy and run the applications we build such as vercel.com, fly.io, and in some situations we use Kubernetes with a GitOps pipeline. Our Kubernetes clusters are monitored using Prometheus and Grafana Cloud. We strive to keep deploys fast, and as pain free as possible and have plans to improve this further.
Benefits
30 days of paid holiday per year
Paid maternity/paternity leave
Flexible working hours that suit you

Location
We support full remote work from anywhere in the UK / Europe. We also have an office in London Gatwick, where we optionally meet for meetings and socialising.

If you think you might be a good fit for the team, please do get in touch with some background information. Typically we expect to see things such as a CV, example applications or projects you have worked, perhaps even a link to your Github. Feel free to send us an e-mail to clarify anything.
