Senior Frontend Engineer (React) | Bimble, UK Offline

On behalf of Bimble, GT is looking to hire a talented, Senior Frontend Engineer (React). We’re looking for someone who is excited about creating a truly best-in-class geo-locational app that aims to completely disrupt the way we search for and hold onto the places that mean something to us. This position is for an able and creative engineer who wants to make his/her mark on the world; who understands and is passionate about start-up life and can bring ideas and enthusiasm to the Bimble vision.

About Bimble

Bimble is an energetic and ambitious geo-locational tech start-up based in the UK. It is a platform that focuses on interesting places and the ability to collect, organize, share and discover them. People like to use apps for specific things and until Bimble, there was no app designed and built explicitly for your places.

The Bimble iOS app was launched in February 2020 as a User Generated Content social platform for places. Places are at the heart of everything we do. The best place recommendations come word of mouth but at Bimble they believe this limits you to your own circle of friends and that it begs to be brought into a broader digital community. In addition, when any of us hear about, read about or come across great places - we have nowhere to store them usefully. Bimble takes care of that too. The community loves to hear from the places they love and Bimble has a unique way of making this easy and fun. These are just the basics. They know that TripAdvisor, Yelp and Foursquare are out of date with today's consumers. Bimble has got different plans.

What we are looking for:

You can work autonomously and take ownership of the given projects. You thrive with space and responsibility to solve problems. Nevertheless, you will have full access to any of the team whenever you need them.

You approach work in a logical way. At Bimble, nobody is afraid to make mistakes or experiment but they use data and logic to back up decisions and improve understanding.

You are curious about the world, consider yourself an out and about the type, and you share the belief that places matter to people. You champion independent businesses when you can and appreciate their role in bringing personality to neighborhoods all over the world.

You must be comfortable in a fast-paced, intense environment. You may have prior experience in product companies or growing startups. You must be an active social media user.
