• Collaborating closely with platform / Dev Ops engineers on build pipelines, observability, and operational concerns
• Communicating directly with the client to clarify requirements and propose solutions
• Contributing to and improving automated testing practices
• Participating in peer code reviews and helping maintain high engineering standards across the team
• Using LLM/AI enabled development tools and techniques (with access to the latest OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. models) as part of day-to-day development

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Type Script , including Node.js and React
• Strong experience building and maintaining production systems

• Flexible working location (remote, London office, or Porto office)

• Experience with functional programming concepts or languages (e.g. OCaml, Haskell)
• Prior experience in trading, finance, or other real-time systems

• 5 days per year dedicated to training
• £1,000 annual training allowance (up to 50% usable for home workstation equipment)
• Company equipment and onboarding kit
• In-person team events every 3 months
• Annual bonus (company and personal performance dependent)
• Stock option plan
• Birthday off
• Generous employee referral programme
