We are excited to be working with a VC-backed AI-first HRTech scaleup looking to hire an exceptional Staff Backend Engineer into their UK business, to play a pivotal role in building their next generation benefits platform.


Funded by high-profile backers, they continue to invest heavily in their teams in 2024 following their Series B fundraise in 2023, and see now as the perfect time to add more exceptional talent to their already-world-class engineering team.

  • You have a history of thriving in the ambiguity and uncertainty of nascent projects, and relish the opportunity to shape the future
  • You have 6+ years of professional experience building and architecting customer-facing web applications with a combination of Python and other backend languages like Go, C++, Scala

  • You have experience with Google Cloud (preferred) or AWS, plus Kubernetes and Kafka ideally
  • You have experience with data engineering / ETL, machine learning, and AI methods
  • You have first-hand knowledge what scale and quality look like in a larger technology company


What do they offer?

  • Employee stock options
  • 25 days annual leave + public holidays
  • Fully remote or hybrid working model out of their London HQ - the choice is yours
