Key Details

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Start Date: ASAP

Pay Rate: £30-50k (depending on experience, see guide below)

Reports to: Chief Technology Officer

Location: Liverpool (with hybrid working)

Seniority: Junior to Mid-level

Department: Software Development

Application Deadline: 23 November 2026

Harker is on a mission to solve homelessness with data by building the next generation of case and information management software for homelessness services. Join our team at an exciting time of growth as we expand our roll-out, add new features to the platform, and begin to support charities to make a greater impact on the lives of vulnerable individuals.

This job involves working on frontend and backend development of a large software project, with the opportunity to take ownership of features throughout the project. This role is flexible, but requires self-discipline, good teamwork skills and a desire to learn new technologies and make technical decisions.

Working at a Start-Up

Working at Harker, you’ll be a key member in a small team (about 7 staff) and will be expected to be self-reliant, find your own work at times and take on a lot of responsibility. Conversely, this means that you get to play a part in key technical decisions and take ownership of your work.

You’ll also be required to take on additional duties outside of software development from time to time, such as customer support, recruitment, and office operations.

How to Apply

The application process for this job is in five parts:

1\. Submit the online application form at the bottom of this page, as a part of this you will be required to:

• Answer a few questions
• Submit your CV
• Submit a Supporting Statement
• Submit a short video introducing yourself

2\. Non-Technical Interview

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview (either in-person in Liverpool or via Microsoft Teams) which will consist of a variety of non-technical questions to allow us to get to know you better.

w/c 30/11/2026

3\. Technical Interview

Candidates who progress from the non-technical interview will be invited to a technical interview (in-person in Liverpool) which will consist of some technical questions, questions about your technical test, and you will be offered the opportunity to show a portfolio of your past work, if you wish.

You will not be disadvantaged if you do not share a portfolio, but it does provide you with another opportunity to demonstrate how you meet the job criteria.

There will be a small take-home task to create a three-minute presentation about a technical topic that interests you. You will present this during this interview.

w/c 07/12/2026
