About Us


We are a business identity platform that enables the onboarding of businesses of any size easily and instantly. Our products create trust for financial service providers (our customers) to seamlessly verify, onboard, and monitor businesses (their clients). 


Position Overview


We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team. You will be an early shaper of the design and architecture of the core platform, and work closely with the founding team to deliver 10x value to our clients.


As an early-stage startup, we pride ourselves on our ability to roll up our sleeves and build from scratch. We will be shipping code frequently and learning as we go while satisfying all critical security, performance, and uptime requirements for our clients.


We all love to build, scale, and grow: Our leadership team has experience building products, scaling teams, and optimizing for growth while working with ambitious engineers from tech unicorns.


If you’re passionate about building products that make a complex problem easy this job is for you.

You should be ready to move fast, embrace uncertainty, and wear different hats.

- 5+ years of experience building and owning a complete end-to-end technology stack (Backend, CI/CD, Logging, Monitoring, Alerting)

- 3+ years of Python familiarity

- Experience with Google Cloud Platform (or equivalent: AWS, Azure)

- Experience in designing customer-facing REST APIs and asynchronous architectures (e.g. queues, pub/sub, lambdas, webhooks)

- Strong experience with relational database modelling (using PostgreSQL or MySQL)

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field

- Familiarity with software engineering best practices, such as DevOps, and CI/CD

- Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in an agile environment

- Work authorisation in UK


It would be a plus if you have:


- Experience with low-level languages like C++, Rust or Go

- Experience writing web scrapers

- Experience developing and maintaining backends for complex processes


Perks & Benefits


- Competitive salary package (including equity)

- Enhanced health benefits

- Flexible working policy (hybrid)
