Are you a Senior or Principal Full Stack Engineer that wants to have a big impact on building a product and influence the overall direction of a fast-scaling AI business? You’ll be joining at a point where the product is already gaining real momentum, but early enough that engineers can still have meaningful influence on what gets built and how it gets built.

The company is building an AI-native platform with global ambition, aimed at changing how a major industry works. AI is not a side project here; it is central to the product and the engineering culture.

This role will suit someone who enjoys ownership, pace, ambiguity and being part of a scale-up journey where the next few years could carry real career value.

Technically, we are looking for strong full stack engineers with experience building modern web products. React and TypeScript are key on the front end. On the backend, they are open to engineers from Node.js, Python, Java, Go or C# backgrounds. Experience with APIs, cloud platforms, scalability, performance and good engineering judgement will all be valuable.

What they are looking for:

  • Strong experience building web-based software in product-led environments.
  • Good React and TypeScript experience.
  • Backend experience in any language/tech, with a small preference for Python / Node.js.
  • Engineers who enjoy responsibility, pace and working beyond a narrow lane.
  • Interest in AI-native product development, modern AI tooling and agentic coding techniques - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex.

Worth being clear on: This is an Edinburgh-based role. It is best suited to engineers who want to work in a scale-up environment that is evolving fast and there can be some ambiguity vs neatly defined corporate roles.

Salary: £80,000 to £120,000 + stock options.
