Software Engineer

£37,000 – £40,000 per year

TLDR

Build internal automation, API integrations and QA tools across backend, frontend, and data, delivering reliable systems from discovery to production with ownership.

Overview


We’re hiring a Software Engineer to build the internal products that keep the business running: automation services, API integrations, operational tooling and QA automation. You’ll work across backend, frontend and data - shipping pragmatic solutions from discovery to production.


This is an ownership role, you won’t just “hand off” projects. You’ll design, build, operate and evolve the systems you deliver with a focus on reliability, observability and long-term maintainability.

 

What you’ll do

 

  • Deliver integrations between internal platforms and third-party services (REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, data sync).
  • Develop internal web tools (with UIs) used by non-technical teams to get work done quickly and safely.
  • Build reliable automation (jobs, schedulers, queues).
  • Ship production-grade code with reviews, testing strategy and documentation.
  • Troubleshoot and improve: debug across team-owned systems, perform root-cause analysis and implement fixes.

 

What we’re looking for


  • 2+ years professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript (primary language) in a modern ecosystem - ideally js + Vue.
  • Proven experience designing and consuming APIs (auth, pagination, rate limiting, error handling, resilience).
  • Working knowledge of databases: schema concepts, queries, migrations and data models that support real workflows.
  • Comfortable with Git and structured code review

  

What we offer


  • Semi remote-friendly setup with flexibility built around outcomes and business priorities.
  • Strong ownership culture: you’ll ship meaningful systems and keep improving them after launch - no “throw it over the wall.”
  • Education budget for courses, certifications, conferences, and learning resources.
  • Team lunch once per week (on us).
  • Monthly gym allowance.
  • Private health insurance.
  • Collaborative environment: you’ll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders and with clear communication.
