Who we are

Passenger information, the way it’s supposed to be.

Blackbox has built a smart suite of software that vastly improves the customer journey. Our state-of-the-art digital CIS displays have been rolled out in train stations across the country.

Although still a small business, Blackbox is a true disrupter in the rail industry.

We are a team of super bright technologists, who value curiosity and a love for solving complex problems.

With a flat structure, you’ll have exposure to every bit of the business and learn from even the most senior members of the leadership team.

You’ll be joining a culture of autonomy, trust, and curiosity. You’ll pretty much get to choose how & when you work, with much more focus on the results you output over how many hours you’re working.

What you will be doing?

We need an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer. Someone that is likely at the mid heading to senior level, in terms of experience and skills.

You will get the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, with an equal blend of front and back end waiting.

We need you to be willing to roll up your sleeves and tackle all projects with equal enthusiasm and attention, whether it is a greenfield, cutting-edge solution, or some legacy maintenance.

Being a small team, you will have significant scope and autonomy to deliver end to end projects, but with a supportive and collaborative team around you at all times.

What makes you the right person?

• You will value and enjoy engaging with your colleagues.
• You will actively seek and be happy taking on input and advice,
• You will be happy and able to support and constructively help others with their projects.
• You will be happy and capable of self-managing your time and outputs.
• You will have a proven track record in delivering against timescales.

You will be technical strong across a wide array of technologies but in particular:

• JavaScript (React.js)
• C# / .NET Core
• Microservices architecture
• Next.js / TypeScript as core languages for UI logic
• SQL databases (MySQL, Azure SQL or similar), with experience integrating via REST API / GraphQL
• HTML/CSS, SOAP/XML/JSON – beneficial
• Cloud & Infrastructure - Azure, CI/CD, GIT - beneficial
• Automated QA/Testing

We are open to the types of background and industry you will have worked in – getting the cultural fit right is by far the most important criteria - but we particularly interested to hear if you have worked in safety critical, high availability environments.

This might be:

• Transport technology, smart mobility, or passenger information systems
• IoT / embedded software environments with a cloud interface
• Digital signage, real-time data feeds, or control systems for physical networks
• SaaS products that serve critical infrastructure or public services
• Companies focused on data visualisation, scheduling systems, or digital dashboards
