December 2020 Fronted Python Fullstack role.

Fronted is hiring a Python/Django + NextJS fullstack engineer for 4 months (parental leave cover)

  • At Fronted our mission is to make renting less stressful, starting by giving renters another option for how to pay their rental security deposit. Our research tells us that there's millions of people trapped in sub-optimal living conditions, who'd move into places of their own, if they had the cash to front a rental deposit.

  • We're at the beginning of our journey, launching before the end of the year as part of the FCA Sandbox https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/regulatory-sandbox/regulatory-sandbox-cohort-6

  • Small team (3-4 engineers including CTO and CPO). Team is Ex-Monzo, Apple, Bud, Zego https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/27/passion-capital-has-backed-fronted/

  • Remote, London Timezone +- 3hrs ok but must be tax resident in the UK
