Our client is seeking a talented Software Developer to take a lead role in building an advanced forecasting platform from the ground up. This is an opportunity to shape a modern, data-rich product combining intuitive UI/UX, AI integration, and statistical modelling, delivered as both a SaaS platform and a secure, closed-network deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the MVP, from architecture through to implementation.
• Lead ongoing development with a focus on scalability, performance, and user experience.
• Build clean, responsive user interfaces and interactive dashboards using React.
• Collaborate with domain and AI experts on probabilistic models, decision-theoretic outputs, and AI agents.
• Work across the full stack: Python backend, SQL data layer, and React frontend.
• Design systems that support integrated AI features and advanced statistical analysis.

Requirements

• Strong professional experience with Python, SQL, and React.
• Experience building and deploying data-rich platforms, ideally in forecasting, analytics, or decision-support contexts.
• Ability to work independently as well as in a small, focused team.
• Enthusiasm for statistics, forecasting, probabilities, or decision theory.
• Familiarity with secure deployment in cloud and air-gapped environments.
• Right to work in the UK.

Desirable

• Experience delivering SaaS and/or on-premise solutions.
• Understanding of data visualisation, dashboard design, or interactive analytics.
• Knowledge of AI integration patterns or statistical modelling workflows.
• Exposure to performance optimisation, scalable architectures, or modern DevOps practices.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a new platform from day one. If you enjoy building ambitious products, solving complex problems, and working across the stack, this role offers the chance to have a significant and lasting technical impact.
