Most engineering roles ask you to optimise something that already exists. This one doesn’t. You’ll join early enough that your decisions genuinely shape the product, architecture and engineering culture — but with enough momentum, ambition and backing behind the company that what you build has the chance to matter. You’ll work with a team of ~10–15 engineers who are exceptionally strong: people who care deeply about craft, move quickly, think from first principles and set a high bar for themselves and each other. This is an environment designed around talent density, not team size. Why this role? Own meaningful parts of the product and platform from inception through production. Your work compounds. Backend depth with product ownership You’ll lean backend, but success here comes from caring about outcomes, not layers of abstraction. Engineering decisions are product decisions. Language agnostic engineering We don’t optimise for a specific stack. We optimise for strong fundamentals, sound judgement and engineers who learn fast. Work with exceptional people Small team. High trust. High standards. The kind of environment where your peers raise your level. Real ownership No endless approval chains. No artificial boundaries. Engineers are trusted to make decisions and move. We value people who enjoy difficult problems, imperfect information and building from first principles. Who thrives here? People who: * want to build, not inherit * care about product as much as systems * enjoy ownership and autonomy * like moving between architecture and execution * want to look back in a few years and say: I helped build that If your best work happens in small teams with ambitious goals and exceptional people around you, we should talk. #J-18808-Ljbffr
