• Solid understanding of full-stack development: API design, database work, frontend UI, deployment, scalability.
• Experience with modern software engineering practices: testing (unit/integration), CI/CD, code reviews, code quality, performance optimization.
• Ability to drive technical discussions and make good trade-offs.
• Excellent communication skills; ability to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders.
• Must be London-based, able to be in the office 3 days/week.

• Knowledge of or experience with planogram / retail / shopper insight tools or similarly complex data-driven UI applications.
• Experience with visualization tools, virtual simulations, or mapping / spatial UIs.
