Overview

Build and evolve backend services, integrations, and workflow logic for our SaaS apps. You'll work hands-on across Python APIs, data workflows, and external system connectors, often starting from automation-generated code (FE automation and Dagster DSL). Your job is to make that code production-ready — fixing, extending, and integrating it with our broader architecture. You'll also be the team's AI development champion, embedding AI-powered workflows (like Cursor agent mode) into our daily engineering, creating guardrails, and helping others ship high-quality code faster.

What you'll do

• Own backend features and API integrations (Python, FastAPI, gRPC, SQL)
• Adapt and extend auto-generated pipelines and front-end outputs
• Build connectors for APIs, files, and external systems
• Integrate LLM-based capabilities with robust evaluation and monitoring
• Champion AI-assisted dev: set up guardrails, context packs, and mentor others
• Collaborate with Solution Strategists, Data Platform, Platform and Support teams

What we're looking for

• Strong Python backend/API experience; SQL and data modelling skills
• Proven integrations experience (APIs, SFTP, SharePoint, webhooks)
• Workflow orchestration (Temporal, Dagster) know-how
• Track record using AI-assisted dev in production
• Comfortable working with generated code and improving automation
• Familiarity with CI/CD, Docker, cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP)
• Interest in AI and raising team AI skills

What we offer

• Competitive salary and share option plan
• 25 days annual leave, plus public holidays
• Excellent pension scheme, matched to 7.5%
• Private healthcare, including family cover and pre-existing conditions
• Flexible hybrid working with 2 days per fortnight in our Farringdon office
• Regular social events and offsites
• Access to a gym and fitness classes in our office building
