Head of Engineering
We are seeking a hands-on Head of Engineering for our well funded e-commerce fulfillment startup
At Bezos, our vision is to Deliver Happiness: For our team, for the end consumers, for our e-commerce sellers as well as our logistics partners.
Exciting times in e-commerce: E-commerce sales in Europe is projected to be £406 billion by 2023, expected to grow 8% per year between 2018-2023. The growth is driven by consumers that increasingly buy more online as well as the emergence of small and medium e-commerce sellers, which have grown at 18% and 28% per year, respectively between 2009-2017. There are 200,000 small and medium e-commerce sellers in the UK alone, selling their products through multiple channels, including marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, their own websites, and on social media like Facebook and Instagram. Today, these small and medium sellers are ignored by the large incumbent logistics service providers and we are on a mission to change that.
Building a next generation Fulfillment-as-a-Service platform: With this explosive growth in e-commerce, the demand for e-commerce fulfilment and delivery is booming. Bezos is a next generation Fulfillment-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform, that allows small and medium e-commerce sellers to outsource their storage, fulfilment, delivery, and returns and focus on what is more important: growing their businesses. Bezos’ operational model is based on partnering with certified logistics suppliers that will execute the different services on our behalf. We believe there is a massive market opportunity to serve these currently unattended and fast growing small and medium e-commerce sellers. We believe that the e-commerce logistics landscape will give place to significant disruption opportunities, and we are planning on taking a leading role to achieve them.
Two founders with proven track records: The founding team consists of Diego Lijtmaer and Vernon Tjon-Soei-Len, who are two seasoned technology executives with experience in e-commerce, the gig economy and last mile delivery industry. Diego built the business development and logistics functions at Just Eat Plc (food delivery, FTSE 100), founded and ran a hospitality business Bacanal and worked in investment banking at UBS (LinkedIn profile here). Vernon was the Director of Amazon Flex UK (part of Amazon’s Last Mile Product & Technology team) and part of the Senior Leadership Team of Amazon Logistics UK, and prior to that worked at Zipcar, Bain & Company and JPMorgan (LinkedIn profile here).
We are looking for an exceptional technology leader: Someone that gets excited about the adventure of a startup and wants to build a world class billion dollar business. Someone that enjoys transforming industries, that enjoys changing the way businesses and consumers think about delivering and receiving e-commerce orders. Someone that is hands on, solves problems, and gets their hands dirty in the execution. Someone that has a demonstrated track record of building amazing technology and building and leading high performance tech teams.

The Wire Team plays a pivotal, yet behind-the-scenes, role at CAST AI. While they may not directly manage the products that customers purchase, the value they create is indispensable for making all of CAST AI's offerings functional and user-friendly.
The team develops a wide array of user-facing features that contribute to a fully realized platform. This includes designing robust authorization and authentication flows, managing user and organization accounts, as well as implementing notifications and audit systems, among other tasks. Furthermore, they create frameworks and tools that enable other internal teams to seamlessly incorporate these capabilities into their own products.
In addition to these tasks, the Wire Team is also responsible for implementing enterprise-level Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations as a self-service feature. They work on integrating billing systems with various cloud marketplaces and oversee the management of platform entitlements.
In essence, the Wire Team's efforts are crucial to the very existence of our platform. Their mission is to elevate the user experience, regardless of whether the customer is a small startup or a large enterprise.
How Do We Operate? At CAST AI, we specifically seek out Software Engineers rather than Software Developers. This distinction is not merely semantic; it underscores a profound difference in responsibilities and expectations. Let's delve into what sets the two apart.
A Software Engineer is responsible for overseeing the entire lifecycle of a system, starting from its conceptual genesis to its continuous delivery of value to customers. When a high-value feature is identified and properly prioritized, an engineer takes ownership. The task entails not just coding but also meticulously reviewing the technical architecture, design, and feasibility of the feature. Beyond functional aspects, we pay heed to:
Testability Adaptability Performance and Scalability Deployment and Compatibility Debugging and Operational Management. Throughout this comprehensive process, collaboration is key. While engineers are accountable for end-to-end delivery, they are also encouraged to consult with peers to arrive at the most effective solutions. The capacity to work both independently and as part of a team is essential.
To expedite delivery, we have devised a suite of proprietary tools that assist us in various aspects of development. Engineers periodically switch roles to write automated end-to-end tests, optimise our GitOps-enabled continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, or fine-tune our observability stack. We even have a rotation for passive on-call duties to promptly address any issues that arise within our codebase.
It's worth noting that we do not employ separate DevOps or QA roles within our engineering team. Self-reliance is vital: we automate everything and construct our own tooling. Therefore, a broad systems-oriented perspective - going beyond mere software development - is indispensable for success within our team.
Our mantra is straightforward: we build it, we test it, we ship it and we operate it.
Here are some of the tools we use daily: GoLang is our language Kubernetes is our core product AWS, GCP, and Azure are the clouds we operate Postgres and cloud object storage for persistence GCP PubSub for messaging GRPC and REST APIs We use GitLab CI with ArgoCD as our GitOps CD engine Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo for observability Deployment charts are written in Helm. Having experience with these tools is not a strict prerequisite for the ideal candidate, but it does offer a competitive edge.

Let’s talk about Software Engineering 🌟
We are looking for a Platform Engineer 🤖 to work in our new developer experience department in the deployment team. We want to build an amazing Internal Developer Platform. In order to achieve that goal, we want to give time and space to a group of people that are very passionate about how an elite software development team works and wants to help to optimize our team’s workflow. We want all teams to be able to self-service their needs without the need to put a ticket on any board when they need something.
We want to treat our developer platform as a product. We want to iterate it step by step making the lives of the rest of the developers in the company easier so they can focus on the business needs.
This team will be a mix of putting together existing open source solutions and building our own. We use things like Kubernetes, ArgoCD, or Crossplane to set the foundations for the rest of our teams.
You will decide how our services will be configured and, following the “automate all the things” mantra, we expect you to automate these decisions so that they are easy to follow by the rest of the engineering team.
If we had to play the buzzword bingo we’d say: - Solid knowledge of a programming language. It would be great if it was Go - Microservices: Orchestration, build pipelines, test pipelines - Kubernetes and tools to create abstractions on top of it. KuveVela, Crossplane - ArgoCD
In this team you will become an expert in these technologies and you will be able to provide abstractions so that the rest of the engineering team does not have to.
You can learn more about our team in our engineering blog: https://medium.com/stuart-engineering
What will I be doing? 🤔
In your first month…
You will be assigned to an onboarding buddy who will help you make yourself at home at Stuart. You will start meeting people from all departments to learn more about what we do and start to understand the general principles that are driving our architecture. You should get in touch with how we are deploying our software today and where we want to go in the future.You will be paired with some teammates to start delivering your first code.
In three months…
You should start to understand the different processes that happen across our company within the other teams. You should already be part of the deployment team’s vision. You should be participating in your team’s ceremonies. Each team has its own working agreements, as long as they are aligned within the company. Currently, your team is working according to the Kanban philosophy with periodic retrospectives.
In six months…
As you begin to understand the department's long term vision you should start participating in some design discussions and even the recruitment of the team. You should already know some of our engineers so you can engage in discussions with them to find out their pain points in terms of our pipeline building and help them solve them.
What do we need from you? 😎
At Stuart, we believe that employees today want to evolve in collaborative, high-growth environments where they can demonstrate their abilities and thrive both professionally and personally. We are convinced that employees need to find alignment between their inner values and their company’s culture and mission to unlock their full potential.

Utility Warehouse is an award winning multi-utility provider, our core offering is simple: all your utilities, one monthly bill. Our network of 45,000 partners add the human touch to our delivery, help us get the word out to our existing members and bring in new ones. We consistently win the Which? awards for our service and don’t believe “good enough” exists when it comes to customer satisfaction.
We’ve got the culture and focus of the earliest stage startups with the resources and strength of an extremely profitable and loved brand. Our eyes are on meteoric growth over the next few years. All the pieces to make it happen are here, we need you to help us put them together.
Our philosophy revolves around getting things done and we only hire people we can trust to do that. Bring your A game and you’ll always get ours. If you’re the type that can deliver you’ll be rewarded with small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products using a cutting edge stack in a best-idea-wins meritocracy. If that doesn’t quite cut it, we can throw in flexible and remote working (no, really) with top of market compensation.
As for the tech we use: the best tool is the right tool. Go and React are our bread and butter but nothing is stopping you from reaching for something else if it does it better. We deploy to Kubernetes across both AWS and GCP with some help from Terraform. We run a mature event sourced microservice architecture using Kafka, NATS and GRPC. As much as is possible we code in the open on GitHub. If it can be open- sourced, it shall. If we can submit a PR instead of building our own, we will. Getting your hands dirty from the top to the bottom of the stack isn’t a promise to be broken, it’s a requirement. If you’re only good at parts of it that’s okay, we’ll quickly make you good at all of it.
