Chaser | London, UK | Engineering | Full-time | ONSITE

We’re an early stage fintech company tackling the huge issue of late payment for goods and services sold on credit: boosting our customers’ cashflow and saving time and money spent on manual credit control. SMEs in the UK alone are owed £55bn in unpaid invoices, which we’re helping get paid on time. In the last 12 months we’ve built a market-leading product, raised money from some highly-respected investors and been named of the 50 most innovative new businesses in the UK.

We're hiring for a wide-ranging software engineering role (mainly full-stack JavaScript development) but we're more interested in finding the right person than requiring specific skills. You’ll be joining a small but ambitious team in a great working environment. If you're looking for influence, autonomy and real problems to solve within a fast growing company then please check http://chaser.io/jobs and then drop us a message. Thanks!

> At least 1 commit / hour Such a vanity metric for productivity is a red flag, reminds me of the old school horror stories of managers so out of touch with software development that they recorded Lines of Code counts as a means of measuring performance. Curious as to the reasoning.
