Role overview

We are looking for a passionate Senior Software Engineer to design, develop and deliver exceptional software.

Diversity

We believe that being a diverse team will make us a stronger team and we want to hire people who believe the same. Please don't filter yourself out!

Startup disclaimer

We’re a startup, so working with us means you can and will face different challenges than working in larger organisations. Yes, we’re a small and fast-moving team which definitely has its advantages but that also means you’ll have a lot of responsibility. Servers go down? It’s up to us to fix it; there is no dev‑ops team. At the same time, we’re not Pied Piper building the decentralised web, so we don’t expect you to be constantly available to resolve issues. Work/life balance is important!
