Overview
Most early-career platforms are still built around CVs, job boards and outdated hiring processes.
This business is taking a different approach. They’ve built a mobile-first platform designed to match individuals to careers based on behaviour, preferences and potential, creating a far more engaging experience for users, and a more effective way for employers to identify and assess talent.
They’ve already:
- Launched a live product
- Gained early commercial traction
- Partnered with recognised employers
- Secured funding to scale the platform
Now they’re moving from MVP into a more robust, scalable architecture, and bringing in their first in-house engineer to help drive that transition.
Why this role stands out
This isn’t a typical junior engineering role.
You’ll be:
- Working directly with the founders.
- Collaborating closely with an external development partner.
- Exposed to real product, architectural and commercial decisions.
You’ll see how a platform is actually built, scaled and evolved.
What you’ll be doing
- Helping evolve a platform from low-code into AWS-native architecture
- Working on integrations with external systems and APIs
- Supporting scalability as usage and customer demand grows
- Contributing to new product initiatives, including white-label solutions
React / TypeScript
Node.js
AWS
(They’re flexible on skills they care more about potential and mindset than ticking every box)
What they’re looking for
- 1–2 years’ experience as a software engineer
- Someone comfortable working in an evolving, startup-style environment
- A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership
- Interest in growing into a more senior role as the business scales
Why it’s worth considering
- First in-house engineering hire (with senior support on architecture & coding)
- Genuine ownership early in your career
- Direct access to founders and decision-making
- Opportunity to grow with the business as it scales
- Broad exposure across product, integrations and platform architecture
Practical Stuff
This is suited to someone early in their career who wants to learn quickly, take responsibility and play a visible role in building something from the ground up.
