Job description

We’re working with an ambitious, fast-growing technology company building a next-generation AI-powered software platform.

They’re building a genuinely complex product used heavily by customers every day, with a big focus on combining excellent engineering with a great user experience. Looking for a Graduate / Junior Software Engineer to join the team and have a meaningful impact on the product as it scales.

Salary: Up to £70,000 + Benefits

Note - Strong Preference for Computer Science graduates from a Russell Group University

The Role

This is a product-focused engineering role for someone who enjoys taking problems from idea through to execution.

You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering to build polished, scalable software, with plenty of ownership over what you build and how you build it.

You’ll be working across:

• AI-powered workflows and features
• Typescript across the full stack
• APIs, backend services and data models
• Cloud infrastructure and platform development

You don't need experience with everything above — strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly are more important.

What They’re Looking For

We're looking for engineers who genuinely enjoy building things and have demonstrated strong technical ability through their work, whether that's professional experience, side projects or something they've built themselves.

You’ll ideally have:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Experience with TypeScript and React
• A genuine interest in building user-focused software
• Experience working on technically interesting projects
• An interest in AI and experience experimenting with AI-enabled applications
• Good product instincts and an eye for design
• A high level of ownership and curiosity

Bonus points for: backend TypeScript, AWS/cloud experience, workflow-driven software or particularly strong technical depth in a specific area.

The Opportunity

This is a fast-moving environment with high technical standards and significant ownership.

You'll work closely with the wider team, have a real say in the product and be surrounded by people who are excited about what AI means for the future of software development.

If you're an engineer who wants to build ambitious products rather than simply work through tickets,
