Senior Software Engineer

We're working with an ambitious, well-backed AI startup building software that helps businesses automate complex, content-heavy workflows. With strong early traction, they're expanding their product and engineering team and looking for an engineer who wants to make a real impact.

This is a high-ownership role combining Python backend engineering, distributed systems and full-stack product development. You'll build and scale production systems, working across Python/Django and TypeScript/React.

What you'll be doing

• Building reliable, high-throughput Python services and asynchronous workflows.
• Tackling distributed systems challenges across performance, scalability and reliability.
• Contributing to the React/TypeScript frontend and developing across the stack.
• Owning features end to end, from technical design through to testing and release.
• Using AI-assisted development tools and specialised agents to improve productivity without compromising engineering quality.

What they're looking for

• Strong Python experience building and operating production systems.
• Django experience strongly preferred, alongside distributed systems knowledge.
• An interest in full-stack development. React/TypeScript experience is a bonus, but willingness to learn is essential.
• Strong ownership, proactive problem-solving and sound engineering judgement.
• An interest in AI-assisted development, with the ability to review, test and take responsibility for the code that ships.

You'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, shape engineering practices and help build a growing AI product. Engineers own their work end to end, use structured agent-assisted workflows and are encouraged to challenge ideas and improve how the team operates.
