Step into a pivotal role at a young, ambitious AI start‑up that has moved beyond the idea stage and is now trading, winning clients, and gearing up for a serious growth journey. This is a chance to help shape both the technology and the culture from the ground up, rather than inheriting legacy systems and rigid ways of working.
The opportunity
The company is building AI‑powered software products that help real businesses work smarter, using tools like large language models, vector search, modern cloud platforms, and rich APIs to create applications that actually get used in the wild. As a senior technical leader, the successful candidate will have a direct hand in defining how these products are architected, built, and scaled as demand grows.
The work
The role centres on designing and delivering robust, scalable backend systems in Python, using frameworks such as Django and container technologies like Docker. From greenfield features to production performance tuning, the remit spans the full lifecycle: building, testing, debugging, deploying, and iterating rapidly in an agile environment.
The person
This role suits someone who thrives on collaboration, enjoys working alongside different perspectives, and is comfortable challenging and being challenged in equal measure. A strong engineering toolkit, a genuine curiosity about AI and machine learning, and a proactive, problem‑solving mindset are all essential to succeed here.
Why it’s compelling
The successful candidate will join a small, expert team where ideas are heard, decisions are made quickly, and contributions are highly visible. With remote working, competitive pay, and the chance to grow into a defining leadership position as the company scales, this is a rare opportunity for a seasoned backend engineer to help write the next chapter of a high‑potential AI venture.
