Junior Software Developer jobs in United Kingdom

Software Developer (Python / JavaScript)
Remote (with 2 days per month in Birmingham)
£35,000 to £42,000 per annum + benefits

Excellent opportunity for a Software Developer with Python and JavaScript experience to join a fast-growing, mission-driven tech start-up, working on products that genuinely help organisations build data capability at scale.

This organisation is bridging the data skills gap through its proprietary education platform, combining change management, live and online learning led by industry experts, and self-serve training. They already work with recognisable brands and are continuing to grow the platform and product offering as demand accelerates.

In this role, you'll join a small, collaborative engineering team building and improving interactive learning experiences, platform features, and integrations. You'll work across the stack where needed, contributing in JavaScript (Vue) and Python, with strong engineering practices around testing, documentation, and reliability. You'll be given real ownership, plenty of variety, and the support to keep developing quickly.

The ideal candidate will have commercial experience building software in Python and JavaScript, be comfortable working in a modern front-end framework (Vue or React), and enjoy solving problems that sit right on the edge of product and engineering. If you like clean, well-tested code, enjoy shipping features that users actually feel, and want to grow in a start-up environment (without chaos for the sake of it), this will suit you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a remote-first company where your work will be visible, valued, and directly tied to the growth of the platform and the impact it has on end users.

• Develop and maintain platform features using JavaScript (Vue) and Python
• Build interactive content, gamification features, and user-focused learning tools
• Work across the stack, collaborating closely with product and the wider business
• Contribute to quality-focused practices around testing, documentation, and observability
• Remote-first working, with 2 days per month in the Birmingham office

• Commercial experience as a Software Developer (mid-level), or strong equivalent project delivery
• Good Python skills and strong JavaScript fundamentals
• Experience in a modern framework such as Vue or React (Vue preferred)
• Enjoys building robust, well-engineered software with a user-first mindset
• Able to travel to Birmingham 2 days per month

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
