Lead Engineer, UI

Full-Time Remote

Real variety

You'll work on companies at the frontier: generative AI tooling, logistics platforms, advertising engines and confidential compute, often several of them over a year. Every engagement is a chance to learn something new.

AI-native, for real

Agents are our daily driver, and 90%+ of our code is written through AI sessions. You'll learn to work this way properly, with adversarial review, real testing and ownership of every line.

Work in the open

We narrate our work in log channels, write commits that explain themselves and share decisions as we make them. Nobody has to chase you for an update, because it's already there.

Engineers make the decisions

There's no separate management class. Our leads manage, mentor and look after clients while still writing code.

Pair and mob

We hang out on voice all day and work together often, across projects. Two heads beat one on hard problems.

We don't put people in boxes

Hired as a backend engineer and getting into data? Go for it. Our services grow with our people.

How we hire

No traditional interviews.

1. A conversation. About an hour, relaxed. We talk about your craft, what you care about and how you work. We want to see if you can talk the talk.

2. A paid trial day. If you can, you spend a day working with one of our senior engineers on real problems. You're paid generously for it, whether or not we go ahead. No unpaid take-home tests and no whiteboard puzzles. Just a real day of real work, which is fairer to you and tells us far more.

Many of our hires come through people we already know.

Where we work

We're remote-first, with hubs in Anglesey and Lancaster for when you want to be in a room with colleagues. We hire outside the big cities on purpose: lower cost of living, a better quality of life and prestigious work without the commute.

How we look after you

  • Vitality health insurance for everyone, as standard
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Flexibility over when and where you work
  • People who are, for the most part, genuinely friends

Levels

Junior, Engineer, Senior and Lead. Lead isn't simply the next rung after Senior: a Lead looks after a client and a team, not just the code.
