Job description

Euphoric builds AI-first employee benefits administration software for the world’s largest and most prestigious employers. Born out of Peppy Health — a fast-growing, category-defining Series B startup — we spun out in May 2025 to tackle a far bigger opportunity.

Global employers spend $3–5 trillion on benefits every year. It’s their second-largest cost after payroll — yet the entire category is still running on legacy systems and outdated assumptions. The space is primed for transformation: despite its scale, it’s been almost completely overlooked by AI-first startups. Incumbents — including one U.S. heavyweight with $2B+ in annual revenue — are constrained by archaic tech stacks and can’t move fast enough to innovate.

And this isn’t just a massive market — it’s genuine “tech for good.” Smarter benefits administration, richer analytics, and clearer communication have the power to directly improve the everyday lives, wellbeing, and financial security of millions of employees worldwide.

We’re a sharp, high-velocity team with bold ambitions, obsessed with building category-defining technology and partnering with exceptional people who want their work to truly matter.

We closed significant seed rounds in October 2025 & May 2026 and are building from a position of strength with a long cash runway. We've already secured contracts with several of the world's largest enterprises and are now preparing for rapid expansion as we scale the platform globally.

The role:

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to bring their ambition, creativity, and technical prowess to join our high-powered team to build the technology that powers the world’s first lovable, AI-native benefits platform.

You’ll have real ownership, big targets, and a chance to help shape both the work you do and the company in general. We care less about traditional career paths and more about raw talent, bias for action, and how much fire you bring.

What you’ll do:

• Build AI-first features end-to-end: You’ll contribute to the design, deployment, and iteration of our next-generation benefits platform features that leverage personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods (e.g. agents/LLMs, recommender systems, reinforcement learning) to enhance user experience in a meaningful business domain.
• Live on the cutting edge of AI tooling: You’ll help push the boundary of what’s feasible with modern AI-powered software development tools (Cursor, Windsurf), keep up with the regular drumbeat of AI advances, and find new and exciting ways to build and explore new features faster.
• Participate in a fast-paced iterative environment: Collaborate closely with design, product, and beyond to deliver and iterate on impressive features and prototypes at world-class pace.
• Keep code clean and well-tested: Maintain clean, efficient, and tested code with clear documentation for both peers and future reference.
• Review, refine, and grow: Actively participate in peer reviews, CI/CD processes, and a growth-minded engineering culture, where you continuously seek to level up your technical skills.
• Be a team player: Sometimes you’ll be iterating on ML pipelines; other times you’ll be refining a frontend component or fixing a tricky bug. We need someone who’s excited about the full product journey and moving together as one.

Skills & experience:

• Industry Experience (3+ years): Prior experience contributing to impactful products in fast-paced or startup environments, with an understanding of both scale and quality from larger tech organisations.
• Hands-On Full Stack Skills: Proficiency in React/Typescript and/or Python (RESTful APIs, data pipelines), plus comfort with deploying and maintaining services on modern cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also fine).
• Applied AI/ML Skills: First-hand experience building and delivering AI/ML features to real users, and an insatiable curiosity to keep up with emerging technologies and trends
• Team-Oriented Mindset: Strong communication skills for explaining complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences, and a passion for collaborating within cross-functional teams.
• Passion and Pride in Shipping: A do-whatever-it-takes attitude to deliver against important business goals that help the entire team win
• Pragmatic Best Practices: An overarching desire to build efficient, scalable, and maintainable code, while learning the tradeoffs between technical debt and delivery speed

What we look for:

We’re a great bunch but we have some "Euph" cultural non-negotiables. To do well here you will:

• Thrive in fast-paced, feedback-rich environments
• Take your work seriously, but not yourself
• Be proactive, playful, and deeply curious
• Want to build something that matters
• Be willing to “do what it takes”

What you’ll get:

• Salary between £90k - £110k dependent on experience
• Remote-first setup anywhere in the UK with optional shared work space pass and a hub in London
• Apple devices and the best AI tooling
• Meaningful early-stage share opportunities
• 25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays
• Regular R&D team off‑sites - recent trips include Gdansk, Porto, Madrid, and Lisbon
