Associate Full-Stack Engineer; Front-End Leaning

The role

We're looking for an outstanding engineer to push our platform to the next level. You'll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you'll drive our product and team to new heights.

Encord is growing rapidly, with our product as the key driver of that growth. A year ago, we were a team of 50; now, we're over 100 and continuing to accelerate.

• Take end-to-end ownership of your projects, from product, design and architectural decisions through to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users
• Work across the full stack, covering everything from deployment to styling
• Take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements
• Tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple, elegant solutions
• Collaborate with a lean, high-trust team to solve challenging problems together

• A builder:
  You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product, and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles
• Impact-driven:
  You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You're not satisfied building products that don't see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent
• Comfortable with uncertainty:
  You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have the autonomy to make decisions as you go
• A team player:
  You understand that being a member of a high-performing team means contributing your best work while helping others contribute theirs

• Personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, or significantly contributed to major changes to existing systems
• Strong understanding of the trade-offs involved in building reliable, performant software at speed
• Experience with Python and/or Type Script (prior experience appreciated but not required — we are technology agnostic and welcome those open to learning)
• Familiarity with any of the following is a bonus:
  React, Kubernetes, GCP, PyTorch, CUDA, Ray

We are technology agnostic at Encord and not looking for experience across all of these — as long as you're open to learning, please apply.

• Backend: Python
• Frontend: Type Script and React
• Deployment: Kubernetes
• Infrastructure: GCP
• Machine Learning: PyTorch, CUDA, Ray

• Competitive salary, commission, and equity in a high-growth start-up
• Strong in‑person culture — most of the team works from our London office 4+ days/week
• 25 days annual leave + UK public holidays
• Annual learning & development budget
• Travel for customer visits, events, and conferences across the UK and Europe
• Company lunches twice a week
• Monthly socials & bi-annual team offsites
