The Job in a Nutshell💡
We're hiring a Senior Engineer to lead significant pieces of work on our platform - from shaping the problem with Product, through designing the solution, to shipping it and supporting it in production. You'll be a key technical voice on the team, helping to set the bar for what good looks like and mentoring others as you go. You'll be working with modern PHP and TypeScript/React on a platform that processes hundreds of thousands of orders a week. The challenges are real, the autonomy is high, and the team is small enough that your decisions matter.
What Will You Do❓
- Lead the development of new features end-to-end - from refining the requirements with Product through to shipping and monitoring in production.
- Drive the technical design of significant system changes and set development standards for the Backend team.
- Mentor others and be willing to learn from them in turn.
- Enthuse about new technology and look for pragmatic opportunities to enhance our existing technology stack.
- Operate with autonomy: identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through without needing to be managed.
What Are We Looking For❓
Backend depth: Comfortable leading non-trivial work in modern PHP (7/8+) - Object-Oriented Design, testability, and the trade-offs of common patterns are second nature.
Frontend competence: Can ship production React/TypeScript features end-to-end without supervision.
Scale experience: You've worked on high-traffic web applications and understand what breaks at scale - database hotspots, caching, queueing, idempotency, observability.
Relational databases: Practical experience with MySQL or similar - you can read an EXPLAIN plan and fix a slow query without guessing.
Integration work: Experience designing and consuming HTTP APIs, including handling the messy realities of third-party reliability.
AI-assisted development: You use modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar) as part of your daily workflow - and you have a healthy scepticism of their output. You can tell when the model is bluffing and you don't merge code you don't understand.
Product partnership: Can work with Product Managers to refine requirements, push back constructively, and give honest estimates.
Communication: Can explain technical decisions to non-engineers and write clearly enough that async collaboration actually works.
Judgment: Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and the instinct to ask "do we actually need this?" before adding complexity.
Who Will Excel❓
- DevOps experience with a major cloud provider (AWS / GCP / Azure).
- Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
- Python, Node, or other backend languages - we care more about polyglot instinct than the specific stack.
- Elasticsearch, GraphQL.
- Experience evaluating or building features that incorporate LLMs into a product (prompt design, RAG, evals, cost/latency trade-offs).
What We Offer You❗
- Curated career progression planning with formal yearly reviews and informal check-ins along the way.
- Encouragement to grow into a Feature Development Lead.
- A competitive salary.
- Ample time to learn new concepts - including paid development and business-related conferences.
- Fully remote working, no commuting expenses.
- Flexible work hours. We'll need you around for a 10am stand-up; otherwise you work as and when it suits you.
- 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), with an additional day per year of service.
- Regular all-company socials and quarterly team socials.
- A team that genuinely likes learning and shipping together.
