Data Developer

Looking for an exciting new start in a close knit, friendly but ambitious and passionate team? Welcome to TLA, a digital business working in the car industry with the biggest car manufacturers such as Volkswagen group, BMW group, Ford etc. We develop innovative digital technology to drive car sales. 

Our CEO, Anton, founded the company over 20 years ago and has been supported by long standing team members. Together with the team, we work hard to achieve our goals but also to enjoy the journey.

If you're looking for a big, slow-paced corporate environment, then TLA might not be for you. But if you want to work with a friendly and supportive team, grow with us, and help develop some fantastic and interesting technology as pioneers in our space, then TLA is the perfect fit. 

The Work Environment 

At TLA we celebrate diversity, welcoming people from all walks of life and we'd love for you to bring your unique perspective and experiences to our team. We’ve adopted a hybrid approach to work meaning you’ll spend 2 days per week together as a team in our fantastic central Liverpool office, while working from home the rest of the week. Our culture puts people first, we’re a highly driven bunch that believe in respect and hard work but also giving back through charitable sporting efforts (everything from hiking to skydiving!).

We also follow a modern approach to CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). We have also adopted a TDD style approach to ensure our quality and architecture is the best it can be.
