Software Engineer – £65,000–£85,000 + Equity – Remote (UK) - London office if preferred

The Opportunity 💻

Join a fast-growing, AI-native software company building workflow automation tools used daily by thousands of professionals across people-heavy industries.

The platform removes manual, repetitive work through AI, automation and thoughtful product design, helping teams move faster and focus on higher-value tasks.

You’ll join at an exciting scale‑up stage where the product has strong traction, real revenue and clear product‑market fit, but still plenty of greenfield engineering challenges ahead.

This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership, autonomy and building features that customers genuinely rely on every single day.

About the Role 💼

You’ll join a high-performing, collaborative engineering team where engineers are trusted owners, not ticket‑takers.

  • Design, build and ship features end-to-end across the stack
  • Develop scalable backend services in Python
  • Own work from design through implementation, testing and deployment
  • Help shape architecture and engineering standards as the platform scales
  • Work closely with product, QA and other engineers to solve real customer problems

The team values clean design, maintainable systems and thoughtful decision‑making over rushing out short‑term fixes.

What You’ll Be Working On 🚀
  • Backend services and APIs in Python
  • Distributed systems and third‑party integrations
  • Workflow automation features powered by AI and LLMs
  • Frontend product experiences used constantly throughout the day
  • Reliability, performance and scalability as usage grows
  • Continuous improvements to developer experience and code quality

You’ll get breadth, impact and variety rather than being siloed into one small area.

Skills and Experience 📈
  • Strong experience building backend systems in Python
  • Comfortable working across the stack or keen to grow into full‑stack ownership
  • Experience with APIs, integrations and distributed systems
  • Startup or scale‑up experience where you’ve shipped real product
  • Product mindset, you care about why you’re building something, not just how
  • Clear communicator who collaborates well with cross‑fund.
  • Pragmatic, quality‑focused engineer who values maintainable code
  • Degree

Nice to have but not required:

  • AWS or cloud infrastructure experience
  • Browser/email extensions
  • LLM or AI-powered features

Remote or Hybrid (UK-based team)

💰 Compensation: £65,000–£85,000 + equity
