Software Engineer (Clubhouse)

Software Engineer 

📍 Belfast (Hybrid)  |  💰 Competitive salary + benefits 

TeamFeePay (TFP) is one of the biggest grassroots football club management platforms in the UK. We support over 2,000 football clubs and 250,000+ coaches, players, parents and guardians on the platform, and we’re now expanding into Italy, Spain and the rest of Europe. We’re a scale-up growing rapidly, and engineering is core to that growth. 

⭐ About our Engineering Team 

We're organised into three squads: Pitchside Experience, Clubhouse Experience and Platform. This role sits in Clubhouse Experience: the squad focused on club administration: the tools club admins and committees use to run their club day-to-day. 

Our engineers come from a variety of different backgrounds. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we'd love to talk to you: we do not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of our engineering roles. 

🔑 Your day-to-day 

• Own a Clubhouse Experience feature end-to-end, from spec through rollout, with light oversight. 

• Write solid, well-tested code across our React Native app and web front end. 

• Debug your own issues effectively, and consider performance and error handling as you go. 

• Actively help peers, give constructive code reviews, and share context in stand-ups and docs. 

🤩 You should apply if 

• you have React or React Native frontend experience, or the desire to learn it 

• you have strong experience in software development 

• you want to build the tools club admins and committees rely on to run their club 

• you can own a feature end-to-end with light guidance 

• you have a product mindset: you're comfortable critiquing designs and understanding user journeys to help land on the best solution, not just implementing what's handed to you 

• you enjoy learning new things: we don't expect you to have every skill on day one 

You don't need prior Ruby experience to apply. If you're a strong backend engineer with experience in another language (e.g. Node, Python, Java, PHP, Go), we'd love to hear from you: we'll support you in picking up Rails. (Our Platform Senior Software Engineer and Principal Software Engineer roles are the exception and do require hands-on Ruby/Rails experience.) 

🛠️ What you'll be working on 

We rely heavily on the following tools and technologies: 

• React Native for our mobile applications 

• We’re moving to React for our web front end, but we’re currently using Rails with Turbo, Hotwire and Stimulus 

• Ruby on Rails to write our API layer (there’s a highly recommended Rails tutorial here) 

• Postgres for our database layer 

• Stripe to power payments: membership fees, club shop and fundraising all run through it 

• Currently our infrastructure is on Heroku, but we’ll be moving off this soon: join us and help shape where
