About Sequence

Backed by a16z and Salesforce Ventures, Sequence is reinventing the accounts receivable category, building a flexible toolkit to help B2B finance teams to scale their revenue collection infrastructure.

The team behind Sequence has decades of experience building and operating category-defining marketplace, machine learning, fintech, and enterprise software companies. We are no ordinary start-up; the maturity of our leadership and technology means we are operating at a lightning fast pace. This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the next wave of innovation for the CFO office, doing your best work with talented, ambitious and creative teammates.

Sequence is the ultimate billing and revenue stack for B2B companies. We help our customers design and iterate on their pricing and revenue flows, so they can stay completely focused on their mission without worrying about billing.

At the end of your career, we want you to look back at your time with Sequence and say it was the best job you ever had.


The role

We’re looking for senior product engineers with strong backend skills to help us build financial tools for modern, fast scaling technology companies.


What you'll do:

  • Create a world class product experience. You'll help make the experience of implementing and working with the Sequence product second to none. We believe our billing engine is the most flexible and comprehensive out there, however complex financial processes can be challenging to model and expose in an approachable and intuitive way. You'll help us figure out the best ways to go about this, building a backend for our own product, alongside a first-class API experience for our customers.
  • Guide product direction: We believe that all engineering decisions are product decisions, and vice versa. You'll collaborate with data, product and design to choose what we work on and why, and help build Sequence to be the best product and business it can be
  • Shape our backend architecture. You'll work on some of our most complex technical problems and help others do the same. You'll help choose how we build things and what we prioritise as a product and engineering team.
  • Help our small team have outsized impact. We want to build an early engineering culture that values collaboration, learning and teamwork. You'll play an integral role in shaping our product, culture and ways of working to help us achieve this.


This is a great fit if you...

  • ✅ Enjoy being hands-on with a focus on writing code and shipping things. We have a long list of things we want to build.
  • ✅ Are happy working day-to-day in a backend-focused role using a strongly typed language. Our services are built in Kotlin, though you don't need experience in that language to join us, many of our engineers have done the same and enjoyed the challenge of learning a new set of skills.
  • ✅ Want to work as part of a small, multi-disciplinary team and collaborate closely with others.
  • ✅ Want to work on something new. The biggest product and company decisions still lie ahead of us.
  • ✅ Enjoy the uncertainty and unpredictability that comes with an early stage company.
  • ✅ Are happy to learn deeply about our customers, the problems they face, and work with them to figure out solutions


This might not be the right role if you…

  •  Enjoy larger organisation structures and only staying within your area of expertise. We’re a small team early on the journey and things change quickly as we learn more
  •  Want a traditional engineering team set up, with a predictable roadmap, clearly scoped out tickets provided for you, and so on
  •  Prefer a slower pace. We're tackling real problems for our customers today, so we need to move quickly.
  •  Want all of the benefits that come with an larger, established tech company


What we offer:

The salary range for this role is £75,000 - £110,000 + share options

We're fully remote within +/- 3 hours of GMT, or you can work from our Hub in central London— whatever you prefer.


Our hiring process:

The hiring process follows the same general outline for all engineering roles:

1️⃣ First interview (30 mins): a 30 minute interview with the CEO for us to learn more about you and see if there's a cultural fit

2️⃣ Technical Interview (90 mins): a live coding exercise with two of our Product Engineers. You'll provided with some code (in a language of your choice) and work with the engineers on the call to improve it, solve problems, write tests etc.

3️⃣ Product interview (45 mins): focused on how you approach customer problems, own the solutions, and apply a product mindset

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
