Rocketeer Orbit
Stafford, Staffordshire
Who we are We're Rocketeer Orbit, business growth specialists. We build bespoke software for clients, alongside our own platform, Orbit. The platform gives businesses a digital workforce: automated workflows that take the heavy admin off business owners so they can get back to growing the company. It's live and running that work for clients today. Demand across both sides is growing fast, and we need you to help build them out to meet it. About the role You'll be one of the engineers behind our client builds, the Orbit platform, and our own internal tools. You'll build features and systems and take them through to delivery, in a team that reviews and supports each other's work. You'll help decide how builds are put together, with room to take on bigger technical decisions as you grow. The work changes from one project to the next. We want someone who likes that range, chooses the right tool for each job, and can say why. What you will do Build backend systems for bespoke client work, taking features from brief to delivery against an agreed design. Help design and develop the Orbit platform, the core product the business runs on. Build internal tools that make the delivery team faster and the builds more consistent. Build production systems on top of large language models. This means wiring APIs like Claude and OpenAI into production workflows, with retries, rate limits, structured outputs, and human review built in. Take AI-assisted prototypes and harden them for production, with the testing and review discipline that makes client-ready software. Design secure walled garden AI environments using Claude for Platforms, and use Claude Code for fast AI-assisted development. Build and connect agent workflows that link AI agents to client tools like email, CRM, and Slack. Integrate and manage Stripe payments, and monitor transactions through the Stripe dashboard. Run infrastructure on Cloudflare (DNS, security, Turnstile, R2, domains, SSL, and TLS) and AWS (Lightsail servers, SES for transactional mail), with Twilio for messaging. Keep client data secure by design, with sound encryption and protocols, and keep all builds compliant with UK GDPR. Maintain codebase integrity and manage deployments with Git, hosted on GitHub. What we need from you We're looking for someone who can turn a business problem into working code, with the judgement to pick the right way to do it. Depth. You've shipped backend systems in production and can work independently within a defined scope. You're fluent in at least one modern backend stack and the fundamentals that carry across all of them, including databases, APIs, queues, testing, and deployment. AI engineering. You've built with LLMs in production, or you've come close and want to go deeper. You understand prompt design, vector databases and retrieval, and the failure modes of putting a model in front of a paying client. Breadth and judgement. You move between languages and reach for the one that fits the project. You can defend that choice on its merits, and you say so when an approach looks wrong, with your reasons. Translation. You can explain an automated workflow to a business owner who only wants their admin problem solved. Team mindset. You want to be part of a small team building things people rely on, and you care how they turn out. The stack Strong applicants will be fluent in some of this and pick up the rest fast. Core languages: PHP and MySQL, JavaScript and TypeScript, Python. AI and LLMs: Claude for Platforms, Claude Code, OpenAI API, ElevenLabs, vector databases and retrieval. Infrastructure: AWS (Lightsail, SES), Cloudflare (DNS, security, Turnstile, R2, domains, SSL and TLS), Twilio (messaging). Payments: Stripe. Security and compliance: Encryption, data protection, UK GDPR. Tooling: Git (we use GitHub). Desirables (bonus points) React Native (TypeScript) for cross-platform mobile. Workflow automation platforms (n8n, Make, or Zapier). Custom WordPress theme and plugin development for enterprise deployments. WooCommerce for ecommerce builds. Sentry.io for error tracking. Deploying and running custom PHP servers. A working grasp of SEO. Why join Impact. Your work runs the day-to-day operations of companies we're excited to work with. Equity. EMI share options, so you share in what we build. Balance. Stafford HQ 1 to 2 days a week, then build from wherever you work best. How to apply Please don't send a generic CV. Show us you build things. In your cover letter, give specific examples of projects, automations, or architectural problems you've solved, and tell us how you chose the approach. Submit your CV and cover letter through our website. How we review applications Rocketeer Orbit is an equal opportunities employer. We care about what you can build, not where you came from. Given what we do for a living, it would be odd if we did not use AI ourselves. We use AI tools to help us organise and review applications, and every shortlisting and hiring decision is made by a person on our team. If you'd prefer your application reviewed without AI assistance, tell us when you apply and we'll handle it manually.

Rocketeer Orbit
Stafford, Staffordshire
You are probably reading this because you have spent the last few years quietly being the person in your company who actually makes things work. You are the one who built that N8N flow that saved the finance team days of work. The one who rebuilt the CRM after the last consultant left it a mess. The one whose Zapier dashboard is full of active flows and you can tell a story about every single one. And you are a bit bored. Possibly frustrated. Definitely underused. We would like to talk. Who We Are We are Rocketeer Orbit, and we build something genuinely useful. We provide a platform that gives businesses a digital workforce. Not simple chatbots pretending to be helpful, but actual automated workflows that take the heavy admin away from business owners so they can get back to growing their company. The platform is live. Clients are paying. The demand is real, and it is growing faster than we can keep up with, which is exactly why this role exists. What You Will Actually Be Doing You will be joining our delivery team, reporting directly to our Head of Delivery. You will be the person who takes a clearly scoped problem and turns it into a working automation. A typical week might look something like this. Monday morning, the Head of Delivery drops a brief into your queue. A wholesaler in Birmingham is wasting two hours a day manually generating quotes. Our Head of Delivery has already mapped the pain points and managed the client expectations. Your job is to build the solution. By Wednesday, you have designed the workflow logic, built the phase one AI coding in n8n or Make, and pressure tested it. By Friday, you have handed it back to Head of Delivery for client rollout. Alongside building new pods (projects), you will be monitoring our live projects, tracking API token costs, and ensuring everything runs flawlessly without drifting. What you will do: Design and build workflows using low code tools. Execute phase one AI logic building for custom client pods. Monitor live projects to ensure they continue delivering measurable impact. Track API token usage and optimise flows for maximum efficiency. Support your line manager so he can focus on complex project delivery and client strategy. What We Are Looking For We hire for logic, not just keywords. You do not need to know our exact stack on day one. You need the right brain. You will thrive here if you have: A logic brain. You think in flowcharts. You see a messy process and instinctively want to turn it into a clean sequence of if this, then that. Real workflow experience. You have used at least one of these tools extensively such as n8n, Make, Zapier, Salesforce Flow, Power Automate, or something similar. You have broken things, fixed them, and learned. Resilience. Automations break. APIs change. Clients change their minds. You troubleshoot calmly instead of panicking. In our experience, two types of people absolutely fly in this role: The hobbyist turned pro. You have been quietly automating your own life for years. You would like to do it full time, for actual money, with proper equipment. The low code power user. You have built real things with Zapier, Make, n8n, or Power Automate. You want a job where building this logic is your actual job, not just a side hustle to your main work. What You Will Get Salary of 25,000 to 28,000 (depending on experience.) Genuine EMI share options. You are a partner in what we are building, not just an employee. Working life split between our Stafford HQ for collaboration and remote days for deep focus. The chance to join a founding team and shape how we scale our engineering department.
