Job description

Brighton (Hybrid – Tuesdays & Fridays in-office)

ASquared is a digital product agency in the heart of Brighton. We’re an agile, future-focused team of creators, innovators, and collaborators, crafting impactful digital products and services for startups, scaleups, and enterprises. We foster a forward-thinking, inclusive culture where innovation thrives, and every engineer has a voice.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is excited about the future of software development—someone who leverages AI-assisted coding tools daily and has experience building applications with advanced technology under the hood. This is an opportunity to be part of a team that’s pioneering modern engineering practices, from assisted coding workflows to intelligent automation in app development.

If you’re an engineer who is always experimenting with the latest tools and has a passion for delivering cutting-edge applications, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a hybrid role (Tuesdays & Fridays in the Brighton office). Applicants must be located in and eligible to work in the UK. We can’t currently support or sponsor visa applications.

What you’ll bring

• You actively leverage AI-powered developer tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, v0.dev, or custom LLM-based workflows to accelerate development and enhance code quality.
• You have experience building applications that utilise advanced technology features under the hood, such as chatbots, AI-powered automation tools, or AI-enhanced search features.
• You write clean, scalable, and maintainable code with a focus on modern software design patterns.
• You’re comfortable working in multidisciplinary, cross-functional teams and can articulate complex technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You embrace continuous learning, staying ahead of the curve on advancements in software engineering.

What you’ll be doing

• Architecting, coding, and shipping high-quality digital products that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
• Using AI to streamline workflows—from AI-generated boilerplate code to automated refactoring and debugging.
• Building cutting edge features, including LLM-backed chat interfaces, content generation tools, and intelligent automation solutions.
• Leading by example, mentoring and collaborating with other engineers to improve quality and productivity.
• Contributing to marketing the agency— through blog posts, conference talks, or internal knowledge-sharing sessions.

What you’ll need

• 4+ years of experience developing React and/or React Native applications.
• 3+ years of TypeScript experience.
• Experience integrating OpenAI, Google Gemini, or other LLM APIs into web or mobile applications.
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases, including designing and optimising schemas for scalable applications.
• Familiarity with Firebase, AWS, or other cloud-based backend solutions for authentication, real-time data, or serverless functions.
• Experience working in fast-paced Agile environments.
• Proficiency with GitHub or GitLab workflows
• Familiarity with Figma and working closely with product designers.
• A mindset of experimentation, automation, and AI-enhanced problem-solving.

The nice-to-haves

• Experience in full-stack development (Node.js, Next.js, or serverless architectures).
• Familiarity with AI prompt engineering techniques.
• Experience with iOS/Android development (React Native, Swift, Kotlin).
• Exposure to design systems and modular UI frameworks.
• Prior experience in SaaS product development, enterprise apps, or high-growth startups.

At ASquared, we’re building the next generation of digital products by embracing AI-first engineering. You’ll work in an environment where AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s deeply integrated into how we code, ship, and innovate.

£20/month wellness allowance for fitness, meditation apps & more
Access to Spill – virtual mental health & counselling support
