Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack, Python role at Bloom & Wild

Hi, we’re Bloom & Wild. Founded in 2013, our mission back then was to make sending and receiving flowers the joy that it should be, by harnessing technology, brand and letterbox delivery. Together, we’ve fulfilled over 20 million deliveries (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe.

We announced £75 million Series D funding in 2021 and that same year acquired bloomon in The Netherlands and Bergamotte in France. Now home to a family of 3 beautiful brands, we're expanding our gifting offering to other categories like cakes, candles and cocktails. This is all part of our ambition to build Europe's #1 direct to consumer gifting destination.

️Technology at Bloom & Wild

Here at Bloom & Wild the Product Engineering team is organised into cross functional squads, each responsible for a business and architectural domain. They are supported by Platform and Data Engineering and are part of the wider Technology team.

You’ll be part of the Production & Procurement squad, a cross-functional squad working within our Ops-Tech team. The primary focus of the squad is our internal systems that facilitate daily operations within our multiple warehouses (for example the production of bouquets and fulfilment of orders). This is one of the most unique and innovative areas of our business, and as our business continues to experience significant organic and inorganic growth, we have ambitious plans to innovate and scale our operations further.

We work with some great technology; our stack consists of a number of Python-based (micro-)services with React frontend, currently running on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You’ll work on multiple services used by the people working in our warehouses..

Most of our team is based in the UK or the Netherlands and works in a flexible model, with choice in how often they travel to the office. Our squads meet all in person at least once per quarter in order to maintain connections, collaborate on larger projects and have fun together.

You can read lots more about our technology stack and our culture over on our tech blog - Code & Wild
