Who are we?

At Cogo, we're on a mission to help millions of people and businesses worldwide to understand and reduce their carbon footprint and create a fairer, more sustainable world. 

We build tech solutions that help businesses and consumers measure and improve their impact. We have partnered with the biggest banks in the world and created a free consumer app and real-time API to empower individuals to use their money to shape a future they value. If you want to use your skills to help address some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as climate change, come join us!

About the role

This role is in Cogo’s consumer app team. The aim of Cogo’s consumer mobile app is to help people better understand the impact of their daily decisions and take climate action. The app’s product development is in collaboration with a dedicated behavioural science research team, so being able to quickly release new features, run experiments and test hypotheses is core to everything we build.

As a React Native engineer, you will primarily be responsible for developing Cogo’s consumer facing mobile app. You will own the implementation of the UI and UX and the communication with our back-end systems from the app. You will collaborate closely with dedicated designers, back-end engineers and quality-assurance.

We’re growing fast and want to make a really big difference in the world, so we rely on our people being flexible and taking on new tasks as the team’s needs change over time. We’d like to work with adaptable and creative engineers who can quickly integrate with our team, deliver high quality code and help scale our systems. As part of a small team you’ll have a large impact on the technical direction of the product, and play a big part in supporting the future growth of CoGo.

Responsibilities

• Working collaboratively with your peers to build and maintain features in the Cogo mobile app.
• Delivering clean and understandable code for new features, while pragmatically improving existing code as you go.
• Playing an active role in developing and maintaining our shared team standards, through code review, occasional pair programming sessions and informal support.
• Working with QA & testers to develop and communicate suitable acceptance criteria for the testing of your work. 
• Releasing your code to production.
• Maintaining our CI/CD app build pipelines.
• Questioning and adjusting our delivery processes and proactively looking for ways that we can improve.
• Maintaining and contributing to internal documentation.

We are primarily looking for an intermediate level candidate, but will consider applications from senior candidates, with the following additional responsibilities (Please state in your application which level you are applying for):

• Working with the product, behavioural science and design teams to take high level features and design how they will be architected and implemented in the app.
• Helping to break down high level epics into a collection of small well-specified stories that other members of the team can work on.
• Becoming the go-to person for one or more of our core technologies, and taking initiative to learn new ones.
• Teaching your skills to your team and mentoring team members to accelerate their career-growth.
