Software Engineer | Hybrid/Remote | UK | 45-65k
The Sunday Times Best Places to Work. Plus FT Award!
This isn't your typical "we're changing the world" startup waffle. These folks are actually doing something interesting – building an AI-powered tool that is a market leader!
Founded in 2020, they've gone from zero to hero pretty quickly (hence the FT award), and now they're at that sweet spot where you can still make a massive impact but without the "will we exist next month?" anxiety.
Their engineering team? Thoughtful, collaborative, actually gives a toss about quality code. They're building a platform that thousands of people use all day, every day – so no pressure, but also... proper impact.
The Role (The Actual Work Bit)
You'll be a proper full-stack engineer here. None of this "you'll exclusively work on one microservice in the corner" nonsense.
You'll be:
- Building features end-to-end (Python backend, Svelte/jQuery frontend)
- Owning your work from "hey, we should build this" through to "bloody hell, it actually works"
- Working with genuinely smart people who'll make you better at your job
- Actually talking to Product and QA like humans (revolutionary, we know)
- Having opinions on product direction that people will actually listen to
The tech stuff:
- Python (you should be solid here)
- Svelte/jQuery (or similar modern frontend – they're not religious about it)
- AWS, APIs, integrations, the usual suspects
- Bonus points for: browser extensions, LLMs, third-party API wizardry
The "You" Bit
They're not just hiring walking CVs. They want:
- Someone who gives a damn about quality and maintainability (future-you will thank present-you)
- A collaborator, not a lone wolf genius type
- Product thinking – understanding the "why" not just the "what"
- Clear communication, especially when things get messy
- Initiative without needing your hand held
- Startup/scale-up battle scars preferred
Basically: be good at engineering, be sound to work with, care about the product. That's it.
The Perks (Because Let's Be Honest, You Want to Know)
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- MacBook + whatever tech you need
- Proper flexible working (hybrid/remote, your choice)
- Private health, dental, vision (Aviva)
- Income protection
- Mental health support & EAP
- Compassionate leave (because life happens)
- Pension contributions (Royal London)
- Monthly socials (actually fun ones)
- Regular hackathons (the good kind)
Why This Could Be Great for You
- High-performing team without the toxic hustle culture
- Autonomy and ownership without being left to drown
- Real product impact with a user base that actually uses what you build
- Company that's growing fast but sensibly
- Engineering team with actual principles (they wrote them down and everything)
Sound Good?
If you're a solid engineer who wants breadth, impact, and to work with people who are the best at what they do. then apply!
