Your Impact as a Full Stack Engineer

At Fresha, we believe AI is a force multiplier for feature delivery, not just a coding assistant. We provide every engineer with top-tier tooling (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to strip away technical toil—so you can focus your energy on shipping high-impact product features. We value engineers who know how to leverage these tools to drive momentum within our 6-week cycles, accelerating the journey from concept to code while maintaining the deep technical judgment to verify, secure, and own the final user experience.

To foster a collaborative environment that thrives on face-to-face interactions and teamwork, all Fresha employees work from the office four days per week, with the flexibility to work remotely on Wednesday each week. London office: The Bower, 207-211, Old St, Tower, London EC1V 9NR

• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Frontend, Infrastructure, and Mobile engineers to take features from discovery to rollout and beyond.

• Design, build, and maintain efficient, scalable, and reliable Ruby/Elixir code.

• Work with a polyglot stack (Ruby, Elixir, GraphQL, TypeScript, gRPC) and modern messaging systems (Kafka).

• Operate within a Kubernetes-driven environment as we continue moving to a microservice architecture.

• Embrace Domain-Driven Design to build high-quality, impactful products from inception to delivery.

This list is not exhaustive and there may be other activities you are required to deliver.

What we are looking for

• AI-Augmented Workflow: You have deep experience building and interacting with AI agents, using them to amplify your output to 5x that of manual coding. You are able to integrate agents into our workflow while strictly adhering to our architecture and security standards, taking full accountability for ensuring all generated code meets the quality expectations of a Senior Engineer.

• Experience building and maintaining globally distributed systems.

• Knowledge of event-driven architectures (Kafka).

• ~5+ years of experience in product engineering, developer tools, or infrastructure at scale.

• A pragmatic generalist who thrives on learning new frameworks and tackling complex challenges.

• Familiarity with languages such as Elixir, Ruby, or TypeScript is a plus.

At Fresha, we value passion and potential as much as specific skills. If you're enthusiastic and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every listed requirement. We believe in fostering growth and providing the support you need to excel in your role.
