ASOS jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

ASOS sells clothes online. Its postings say the retail app is one of the most recognisable in the United Kingdom and serves over 8 million active customers. The company is based in London. Postings describe work on the shopping app and website, the buying and design of the product range, and the enterprise systems that run the business behind them.

What they value

• The customer experience in the app, which the engineering postings are named after.
• Simplifying complex business processes, which product postings ask for directly.
• Modern tools. Postings name the latest versions of Swift and a move from Oracle to Microsoft Dynamics.
• Working across functions rather than inside one team.
• Staff discount and sample sales, which postings list first among the benefits.

Where they hire

Every one of the 62 postings is in the United Kingdom, and 60 of them are in London. One is in Barnsley and one in Watford. All 62 are full time. No posting is remote and none mentions sponsorship. The London concentration means this board suits someone already in or moving to London.

Teams and roles

Technology dominates this board far more than a fashion retailer might suggest.

• Information technology: 28 postings, nearly half the board. These include iOS engineers, backend and platform work, and data roles.
• General business: seven postings.
• Design and creative: five postings in design and three in art and creative.
• Human resources: three postings. Purchasing holds three more.
• Product management: two postings, including an enterprise resource planning transformation role on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
• Legal and finance: two postings each, plus one in accounting and auditing.
• Supply chain, customer service, and analysis: one posting each.
• Seniority: 46 of the 62 postings are mid-senior level, 10 are associate, and only three are entry level, so this board suits people with experience.

What they look for

Engineering postings list the stack and the habits. The iOS posting asks for experience building iOS applications in Swift and the core frameworks, comfort with Xcode, Interface Builder, and Auto Layout, an understanding of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, familiarity with unit testing, and an interest in writing maintainable code. It says the apps must work across iPhone and iPad. Product postings ask for a track record rather than a tool: the enterprise resource planning posting asks for proven experience simplifying complex business processes and turning them into scalable product capabilities, and for leading a team from discovery through delivery and adoption. Postings list the benefits in full, including 25 days of annual leave plus an extra celebration day, a discretionary bonus, private medical care, and a flexible benefits allowance.
