Compensation

• Software EngineerSalary £45K – £55K • 0.25% – 0.5%

Location: London (Hybrid, 4 days/week in office) • Team: Early engineering • As: Full-stack engineer

Why this role

Ship useful software fast. You’ll design, build, and own features end-to-end in a small team working directly with the founders. You’ll build and ship features that matter, take real ownership of your work, and grow quickly as part of a high-velocity team.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and ship user-facing features across the stack.
• Develop and maintain REST APIs and backend services with scalable, maintainable designs.
• Implement secure data flows and integrations.
• Build complex workflow tools and interactive UIs (think editors, tables, real-time updates).
• Keep quality high through tests, reviews, and clear, simple code.
• Work directly with founders and product from concept to release + iteration.

What We’re Looking For

• Startup mindset: bias for action, ability to work independently, comfort with ambiguity.
• Strong fundamentals: solid grounding in computer science (data structures, algorithms, systems).
• Full-stack skills: React/TypeScript or similar on the frontend, Python/Django (or another MVC framework) on the backend.
• Track Record: ~2+ years professional experience or open-source/projects that show you can build and ship.
• Collaboration: strong communication, team-first attitude.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Next.js or modern server-side frameworks.
• Familiarity with component libraries/design systems.
• Curiosity for DevOps, CI/CD, or infra as code.

Why Join Us

• Ownership: we expect every engineer to think beyond code, shaping product and architecture.
• Learning & Growth: work directly with founders in a fast-paced environment.
• Startup energy: small team, ambitious mission, rapid iteration, big upside.

Compensation Range: £45K - £55K
