Love early-stage energy, but hate micro-management?
We’re hiring a Senior Backend / Platform Engineer to help us build and scale a data-heavy B2B platform.
We aren't looking for someone who just completes tickets against a rigid spec. We need someone who can embrace ambiguity, shape backend architecture, and help define the platform as we grow.
The Reality:
Our environment is fast-paced, fluid, and occasionally chaotic. If you thrive in smaller/startup teams, love taking ownership, and want to solve complex engineering problems without red tape, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Architect & Build: Shape backend services, APIs, domain boundaries, and ingestion workflows.
- Hands-on Stack: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker.
- AI-Assisted Workflows: We make heavy use of AI coding agents to move fast—you’ll help set standards and guide agent-generated code.
- Path to Ownership: High-visibility role with a clear track to domain leadership.
✔️ Solid backend experience (Python/FastAPI/SQLAlchemy/Postgres)
✔️ Prior experience in startups or smaller engineering teams
✔️ Strong technical judgment & comfort operating with ambiguity
✔️ Based in/around Edinburgh(fully remote day-to-day, with occasional local catch-ups)
