Job Description

As one of the first London-based engineers, you will build and own production-grade Python services for AI-driven products. You will design scalable APIs, optimize Postgres data layers, and lead architectural decisions. This role offers genuine end-to-end ownership, from initial specification to production monitoring, within a high-momentum team expanding its UK presence.

• Move fast with a high-performance team that prioritizes shipping code to real users over bureaucratic red tape.

What You Will Do

• Architect and maintain high-performance Backend services using Python (FastAPI), Postgres, and Redis.
• Own the entire product lifecycle from initial system design through to AWS deployment and production reliability.
• Work directly with the founding team to translate complex requirements into scalable, AI-driven technical solutions.

The Ideal Candidate

• Possesses 4+ years of experience building production APIs in Python with a focus on FastAPI, Django, or similar frameworks.
• Demonstrates mastery of SQL and schema design, with a proven track record of optimizing database performance at scale.
