Software Engineer

Location: Manchester, UK (Hybrid: 2 days/week in office mandatory) Job Type: Full-time

We are actively seeking four highly skilled Full Stack Engineers to join our team. In this role, you will be instrumental in building and evolving products within a modern product-driven environment. You will not just be maintaining legacy corporate systems; you will be delivering high-impact solutions using current technologies, taking true ownership of production systems, and working cross-functionally to drive our product vision forward.

• End-to-End Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable applications with a balanced focus on both frontend and backend development.
• Product Collaboration: Partner closely with Product and Design teams to understand requirements, shape features, and deliver seamless user experiences.
• System Ownership: Take hands-on ownership of production systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and modern engineering standards.
• Technical Communication: Clearly articulate technical decisions, explain reasoning, actively listen to feedback, and collaborate effectively with peers.

• Technical Stack: Proven, recent, hands-on proficiency in both React and Java. You must be able to independently write code and explain your solutions without needing core skills taught during the process.
• Modern Product Experience: Recent experience working in modern product companies. You must be able to provide clear examples from the past couple of years detailing your specific contributions and impact on product delivery.
• Location: Must be based within a practical 1-2 hour commute of Manchester. Committing to two days a week in the Manchester office is a strict, mandatory requirement.

We believe in a transparent hiring process. Candidates who move forward should be prepared to discuss recent project examples, collaboration scenarios, and how they handle feedback.

• Technical Interviews (45-90 minutes): These sessions will thoroughly cover frontend, backend, and system design. Tip: We highly value candidates who ask clarifying questions during the system design phase and demonstrate independent coding ability.
• Fit/Culture Interviews (30-60 minutes): Focused on your working style, team collaboration, and alignment with our product development approach.
