About Y TREE

Team Overview & The Role
We are looking for a passionate Engineer to join our cross-functional squad in London. While the role has a strong front-end focus, we are an AI-first engineering organization. The ideal candidate uses agentic AI tools as a force multiplier and is comfortable flexing to tackle backend tasks (Kotlin/Spring) when squad priorities shift.
Core Responsibilities
Feature Development: Build, test, and optimize highly scalable, user-oriented features for our client-facing web application.
Full Stack Adaptability: Take ownership of domain software, contributing to our event-driven microservices platform when backend support is needed.
AI Engineering: Leverage agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code) across the full development lifecycle, reviewing and hardening AI-generated outputs to maintain rigorous quality standards.
Agile Delivery: Collaborate in a two-week delivery window to plan, develop, and release secure, cost-efficient features.
What You Bring
Experience: 3+ years of experience as a front-end engineer utilizing JavaScript/TypeScript and the React library.
AI-Assisted Workflow: Daily practical experience with AI-assisted or agentic development tools, with the engineering judgment needed to audit and refine AI outputs.
Modern Engineering Practices: Familiarity with TDD principles, clean architecture concepts, and consuming APIs (e.g., GraphQL).
Mindset: An independent, critical thinker who thrives in collaborative, small-team environments and values continuous feedback.
Bonus Points
Backend development experience in Java or Kotlin (ideally Spring Boot).
Understanding of microservices, database concepts (RDBMS/PostgreSQL), and event-driven architectures (Kafka).
Familiarity with containerization (Docker) or cloud deployments (AWS/Kubernetes).
Location & Ways of Working
Hybrid Model: London-based with a hybrid policy requiring 2 days per week in our London office.
What We Offer (Benefits)
Health & Wellbeing: Private healthcare through Vitality (including 50% off premium gym memberships) and an Employee Assistance Programme.
True Time Off: 25 days of annual leave where we expect you to fully unplug—no booking leave required for quick life appointments.
Financial Future: 3% standard employer pension contribution, with enhanced company matches available via salary sacrifice.
Environment: A welcoming, dog-friendly office with break-out spaces and silent booths, alongside regular, well-balanced team socials.
Extra Perks: Electric car schemes, family-friendly policies, and support towards professional qualifications.
