The way we build software is evolving. AI coding agents are part of our everyday workflow and were looking for someone who knows how to direct review and get the best out of those tools not someone who treats them as a shortcut. We care about the quality of the output not just the speed of it.

This is a small high-trust this role youll find more autonomy more impact and more accountability than you would in a larger engineering org. If that energises you read on.

What youll be doing

What were looking for in you

Technical ability matters but so does how you work. We want someone who leaves things in better shape than they found them. Someone pragmatic enough to know when to ship and disciplined enough to know when to refactor.

This role will be challenging. If that excites you this is the role for you.

What youll need

• 6 years of professional software development experience in a product SaaS or similar environment

Useful but not essential

What makes this role worth it
