Software Engineer - Platform Enablement

Employment Type: Permanent

Our Ways of Working Principles:

We believe that most of us do our best work when we work together, but we know that everyone works in different ways, and quite frankly, has other commitments and responsibilities outside of work. As we further adjust to hybrid working, we want to take what we've learned from working remotely and keep the flexibility that's enabled us to thrive and keep driving our business forward.

We have some core principles which support us in this:

• Do what’s right
• Trust & give permission
• Delivery matters

We understand ways of working can look different based on your role, team and you as an individual, so we are here to support and discuss this with you during the interview process.

Work with Us

At Moonpig Group, our mission is to help people connect and create moments that matter. We’re an international group made up of three brilliant brands – Moonpig in the UK, Ireland, US and Australia, and Greetz in the Netherlands – with our newest addition Buyagift joining us in 2022. We were founded with a goal to disrupt the traditional greetings industry. Two decades on, we’re an established leader within the online gifting market, offering a wide range of products to customers across the world.

Moonpig is an iconic brand and innovator, with clear values. These values set our teams and our business up for success in an environment that’s fun, supportive, and challenging. They’re the glue that binds us together, and we think of them as a platform to help us deliver our best work. You have every chance to drive impact here at Moonpig, and most importantly, we genuinely want you!

Our architecture is built for scale and flexibility, which will allow us to quickly innovate and launch new propositions. Coupling that with the wealth of data we have on our customers, the sky's the limit in the world of experimenting with cutting-edge ideas.
