About Us
OpenPlay is a B2B SaaS Product focussed on transforming how the sport and leisure industry operates with innovative leisure management software – think booking of football pitches, gym membership, putting your child onto a tennis course and everything in between.
Some of our Achievements:
- Supplying booking solutions some of the largest sports centres in the world
- Working with the Olympic park to get more people active
- Providing activity and coach management for multiple premier league clubs (West Ham, Liverpool etc)
- Partnering with Nike and other brands to promote sport across various media campaigns
- Powering the largest indoor sports arena in the UAE, handling check-in and bookings for over 10K people a day
- Helping thousands of people find other players and matches via our online marketplace and app
- Supplying online booking for some of London’s largest parks such as Hyde Park, Regents Park, Finsbury park, Clissold Park and countless others
The Position
We’re been developing Kinetic our new leisure management software, from the ground up for release in 2021. This product is based on the knowledge we’ve gained over the previous years, as such this is very much a greenfield style project where you wont be held back by legacy code and instead have the opportunity to shape the product going forward. This is a full time role
How We Work
Whilst we have an office in London the dev team is based remotely over the UK and broadly follow an agile approach to working, including
- Daily stand-ups over Zoom
- Sprint planning/retrospectives
- Code reviews
- Show and tell/sprint demos
What We Are Looking For
You’ll need experience of modern PHP practices (via Laravel, Symfony etc), git workflows and real world testing experience (phpunit/dusk) but more importantly an easy going nature (no prima donnas/rockstars please) and self starter attitude – you will have a high degree of autonomy in your day to day work as well as development decisions – we don’t like to micro-manage.
What We Offer
- We’ll supply hardware of your choice (windows/macbook/linux etc)
- Ability to decide on tooling that you use day to day – sublime/phpstorm, sourcetree/kraken etc
- Code improvement weeks – every 2 sprints we take a week off to work on the codebase on a whole, be it looking for a different approach to something you’ve noticed, scratching your own itch or experimenting with some new tech
- Access to learning materials (udemy/laracasts etc) or conferences – we recently sent all devs to Laravel Live UK including hotels
Nice To Haves
- Experience in React a big plus
- Eye for design – we don’t need to create UIs from scratch but ideally you would be able to create new pages based on other designs
- Willingness to look at other tech stacks e.g react native, go, electron etc
Day to day tasks
As with any startup the work is varied, but here’s a random selection of things we’ve recently been working on
- working with NFC readers/wristbands as well as turnstiles/gates for access control
- Creating API endpoints for our booking widgets
- Creating a theming system to handle out white label offerings
- Handling contactless payments via websockets
- Point of sale module with a react frontend built for touch screens
Tech stack/approach
The main stack at the moment is:
- Laravel 5.7
- Redis
- Bootstrap 4
- GitHub
- React / react native
- Circle CI build process
- Docker / Kubernetes for development and production
