Brilliant opportunity for a recent graduate or junior software engineer to kick-start their career with a tech-focused start-up that's scaling fast, just secured fresh funding, and already works with major household names like GymShark, Sky, and RBS.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a fast-growing start-up company where you can make this role your own and help shape the growth of the business.

The role:
*Working as part of a small engineering team on real-world applications
*Helping to build interactive tools, training games, and gamification features
*Learning and developing in JavaScript (Vue / React) and Python
*Remote-first, with 2 days/month in the Birmingham office
