• Design and scale low-latency APIs that handle very high request volumes.
• Translate complex domain criteria into queryable structures and formal logic for deterministic evaluation.
• Own zero-to-one projects end to end, finding high-impact gaps and addressing them without being asked.
• Try out new developer tooling and automation approaches within a small, highly autonomous team.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Between 2 and 6 years of professional backend or data engineering work since graduating, excluding internships.
• Strong Python skills.
• Experience running production systems at scale.
• Experience designing APIs and building high-performance, low-latency services.
• A track record of taking products from nothing to launch.
• A degree in computer science, engineering or mathematics.
• Ability to work on-site five days a week.
• UK right to work or an existing visa that can be transferred.
