The Role
We’re looking for a Mid-Level Software Engineer to join a team building and scaling a modern, enterprise-grade GenAI platform.
This is a frontend-leaning full-stack role, with a strong focus on React and TypeScript. You’ll spend most of your time building high-quality user experiences, while also contributing across the stack, particularly in Python and working closely with cloud infrastructure to ensure systems are scalable, observable, and production-ready.
You’ll be part of a team embedding AI capabilities into real-world workflows focusing on performance, usability, and reliability at scale.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build modern, responsive web applications using React and TypeScript
- Design clean, scalable UI architectures and reusable component systems
- Contribute to backend services, primarily in Python (with Node.js where needed)
- Integrate with REST and/or GraphQL APIs
- Work closely with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure) to design and operate scalable systems
- Deploy and manage applications in containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and delivery workflows
- Implement observability practices (logging, monitoring, tracing)
- Apply secure coding practices and support data protection requirements
- Troubleshoot issues across application and cloud infrastructure layers
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver production-ready systems
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience with React and TypeScript (core focus)
- Solid experience with Python for backend development
- Experience building production-grade web applications across the stack
- Strong understanding of frontend performance, state management, and component-driven design
- Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure)
- Experience integrating with REST or GraphQL APIs
- Familiarity with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes beneficial)
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of observability concepts (logging, monitoring, tracing)
- Strong foundation in software engineering principles and system design
- Awareness of secure coding practices and data protection considerations
Nice to Have
- Experience with Node.js
- Experience running applications on Kubernetes in production
- Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, New Relic)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code
- Exposure to distributed or event-driven architectures
- Experience working in client-facing or consulting environments
- Familiarity with security-conscious or regulated environments
