Description
UK, London Head Office
Remote-first | £55k–£65k
Rare opportunity to join a high growth team building cutting edge AI products in a fast-moving, creative environment.
You’ll be part of a small, high-impact team with the autonomy and pace of a scale-up, where your ideas are heard and your work has real visibility. At the same time, you’ll benefit from the backing, stability, and support of a larger, well-established organisation, offering the best of both worlds.
This is a hands-on Lead role, managing a small team while owning delivery across full stack development, architecture, and deployment. You’ll play a key role in shaping how AI is embedded into real, production-grade products.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading and supporting 2 developers while staying close to the code
- Designing, building, and scaling full stack applications
- Owning system architecture, deployment, and engineering standards
- Integrating AI features into products using modern APIs and data-driven approaches
- Improving CI/CD, environments, and overall delivery capability
Tech environment (or similar):
- Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript or similar
- Backend: Node.js (Express, NestJS) or Python (FastAPI, Django) or similar
- APIs: REST, GraphQL
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB
- AI / Data:
- Experience integrating AI/ML features via APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic or similar)
- Exposure to data pipelines, inference workflows, or retrieval-based systems
- Cloud & DevOps:
- AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Docker, CI/CD pipelines
- Experience deploying and maintaining production systems
What they’re looking for:
- A strong full stack engineer with some leadership or mentoring experience
- Experience delivering and deploying real products
- Interest in owning and improving engineering standards and delivery
- Clear communicator, comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
A note on experience
We know that not everyone will meet every requirement listed above. If you’re excited by the role and feel you can add value, we’d strongly encourage you to apply.
This role might not be the right fit if:
- Your experience with AI is limited to theory or experimentation only
- You’ve not yet had exposure to working on live, deployed systems
- You’re looking for a purely specialist frontend or backend role
Small team, real ownership, exciting vision, genuine impact.
If you’ve shipped products, enjoy leading from the front, and want to build something meaningful in the AI space, we’d love to hear from you.
