About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in building and scaling our software solutions. You’ll help drive architectural decisions, guide technical direction, and contribute hands‑on to product development.

• Develop and maintain APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure
• Ensure systems are secure, performant, and easy to maintain
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical challenges
• Mentor other engineers, contributing to a culture of learning and collaboration
• Share knowledge through documentation, reviews, and technical discussions
• Stay current with industry trends and suggest improvements where appropriate

What you’ll bring

We don’t expect you to tick every box. If you bring strong technical skills and a growth mindset, we’d love to hear from you. You might have:

• Proven experience as a Senior Full Stack Engineer or similar
• Deep experience with TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks (we use Vue.js)
• Strong backend development experience, including working with cloud infrastructure
• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Terraform
• Experience with document‑based databases like Firestore
• A strong grasp of software architecture, scalability, and performance optimisation
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
• Experience mentoring or supporting other engineers
• A collaborative, open approach to working with others

Benefits & Perks

We believe great work happens when people feel supported, in and out of the workplace.

Here’s what you can expect as part of the team:

Benefits

• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays (with the option to roll over up to 5 days per year)
• Employee share options
• Private health insurance
• Private dental cover
• Life insurance (3x salary)
• Flexible salary‑sacrifice pension
