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.

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.
