What’s the difference between a functional product and a truly transformative one? The team behind it.

We’re looking for a seasoned, hands-on Software Engineer, someone who doesn’t just write code, but lives and breathes the craft. If you have a real passion for building and solving complex problems with elegance, then this could just be the perfect role for you.

This isn’t a role for someone who needs to follow a rigid checklist. We need an engineer with personality, spark and energy who is ready to make a massive impact.

The Challenge
You will drive the technical direction of products that are cutting-edge, modern, and exciting.

Do you have an unshakeable hunger for the GenAI space? Good. We’re working with the technology of the future, not the past. You will be the one driving our innovation mindset, always keen to stay ahead of the curve and identifying ways in which the latest tools and tech can fundamentally evolve our products.

Forget analysis paralysis; you’re a pragmatic, “give it a go” person. You’re up for testing things out, spiking solutions fast to get the proof, and delivering high-value iterations. You are intensely productive and have a bias to action, laser focused on value and outcome.

Who We’re Looking For
You are more than just a back-end expert.

You are an experienced, hands-on engineer who thrives on turning complex ideas into reality.

You have a genuine passion and hunger for the GenAI space and see technology as a way to solve real business problems. 

You can handle yourself in front of clients, able to translate technical concepts into compelling narratives, and you work seamlessly with dev teams to unblock progress.

If you have the experience, the spark, and the passion to build our next chapter and if you love what we do, we can’t wait to hear from you.
