• Write clean, scalable, and well-tested code, contributing to overall codebase quality
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Frontend teams
• Support deployment and infrastructure workflows using Docker and CI/CD pipelines
• Participate in code reviews and help mentor junior engineers
• Debug and resolve production issues, improving system reliability and performance

What We’re Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in Python with experience in FastAPI, Django, or similar frameworks
• Solid understanding of backend architecture and API design
• Experience working with PostgreSQL or other relational databases
• Comfortable working independently while contributing to a collaborative team
• Familiarity with Docker, Git, and modern deployment workflows
• Exposure to AI/ML tools, APIs, or computer vision is a strong plus
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to navigate ambiguity
• Clear communicator who can contribute to technical discussions and planning

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI/ML frameworks or LLM integrations (e.g., LangChain)
• Familiarity with Supabase, Firebase, or other BaaS platforms
• Experience optimizing performance and scaling backend systems
• Prior experience in a startup or high-growth environment

Why Work With Us

• Work on cutting edge AI technology used by millions globally
• Join a fast-growing, well funded startup with a 2.5M+ community
• Take ownership of meaningful features and contribute to core systems
• Collaborate with a high performing, ambitious engineering team
• Work directly with senior engineers and leadership
• Office based in a uniquely designed, converted London library
