This role is for someone who thinks commercially and works in partnership with clients to capture and design solutions from the ground up. What we're looking for Strong Python experience, particularly with asynchronous or distributed systems Solid experience building APIs and backend services Good understanding of cloud environments (Azure preferred), CI/CD, and deployment Experience building and shipping systems used in real-world environments (ideally client-facing or delivery-led) Someone who enjoys the craft of engineering, not just shipping code, but building things properly A genuine interest in AI and how it's shaping modern software development Why this role Fully remote across the UK Early-stage, but well-funded and already delivering real projects A chance to influence how things are built as the team scales Work that balances pace with quality, no endless POCs that go nowhere If you're an engineer who reads about new tech out of curiosity, and you like the idea of being part of a team still figuring things out, this would be a great fit.
