Software Engineer

Role Purpose

We are looking for a capable, proactive Software Engineer to join our growing technology team.

This role is for someone who enjoys solving problems, working with autonomy, and building high-quality software across both customer-facing and internal systems. You will be given problems to solve, rather than tickets to simply execute, so we need someone who is comfortable thinking through the best approach, asking good questions, and taking ownership of the work.

You will work mainly with Python and React, alongside a small, collaborative engineering team. We also work with Shopify, so Shopify experience is a plus, although not a necessity.

We use AI as part of our day-to-day engineering workflow, including tools such as OpenCode, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Experience with any AI coding tools is useful, but the main thing is that you are comfortable working with AI as part of modern software delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Software delivery

• Design, build and maintain reliable software across our product and internal systems.
• Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code using Python, React and related technologies.
• Take ownership of assigned problems from initial understanding through to delivery.
• Contribute to technical discussions and help shape practical, scalable solutions.

Quality and reliability

• Build software with reliability, observability and maintainability in mind.
• Write automated tests where appropriate to support delivery confidence.
• Help ensure changes are safe to release, easy to monitor and simple to roll back if needed.

Collaboration

• Work closely with other engineers, Product, QA, Data and Platform colleagues.
• Contribute to a learning-focused engineering culture where everyone can review, question and improve each other's work.

Engineering practices

• Use Git confidently as part of a feature-branching workflow.
• Follow agreed engineering standards and contribute ideas for improving them.
• Work with CI/CD pipelines where required.
• Document technical decisions & system behaviour clearly enough for others to understand & support.

AI-assisted engineering

• Use AI tools sensibly to improve productivity, code quality and problem solving.
• Review, validate and improve AI-generated code before it reaches production.
• Bring experience of other AI coding tools and workflows where useful.

Skills and Experience

Essential

• Strong working knowledge of Python.
• Strong working knowledge of React.
• Good understanding of Git, feature branching and pull request workflows.
• Experience building and maintaining production-quality software.
• Comfortable working with a high level of autonomy.
• Able to take a problem, break it down, and deliver a practical solution.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative approach.
• Comfortable using AI tools as part of software development.

Desirable

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to infrastructure as code.
• Understanding of cloud platforms and cloud-native application design.
• Experience with Azure.
• Experience with Shopify.
• Awareness of application security principles.
• Experience contributing to code reviews and engineering standards.

What We Are Looking For

This role would suit someone who is hands-on, curious and comfortable getting stuck in.

You do not need to know everything, but you should be someone who likes learning, solving problems and taking ownership. We are looking for someone who can work independently, contribute to the team, and help us keep improving the way we build software.

Benefits

• Bonus scheme.
• Fully remote working.
• Home office setup allowance.
• Training and development budget.
• BUPA health care plan.
• Birthday off.
• Volunteer days.
