Work autonomously and take end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users. You will work across the stack, covering everything from deployment to styling. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, and you know what trade-offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed.

You're not satisfied with building products that do not see the light of day. You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product, and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem-solving and thinking from first principles, and are always ready to pick up new skills and build quickly. You contribute your best work and help others contribute their best. You'll always lend a helping hand when needed and level up those around you.

  • Strong experience building large-scale backend infrastructure applications.
  • Deep fluency in at least one high-level language (we use Python and TypeScript, but we care more about depth than the specific language).
  • Experience improving quality through code reviews, testing, rollout, and monitoring.
  • Experience with prompt engineering, agent orchestration, and the ability to integrate AI tools to optimise workflows and drive measurable impact.
  • Experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or Physical AI is a plus.
  • Python.
  • Frontend: TypeScript and React.
  • Deployment: Machine learning.

Competitive salary, commission, and meaningful equity in a high-growth startup. Strong in-person culture β€” most of the team works from our London office 4+ days/week. 25 days annual leave + UK public holidays. Travel for customer visits, events, and conferences across the UK and Europe. Monthly socials & bi-annual team offsites.
