Build the Future of AI-Driven Recruitment

Are you a Senior Engineer who thrives on “greenfield” projects? Do you want to work on a platform where AI isn’t just a buzzword, but the core engine of the product?

Join Crooton to help us build our AI-powered recruitment intelligence platform. We are solving the biggest headache in high-volume hiring: processing thousands of applications with speed, fairness, and intelligence, as well as saving time and money.

This isn’t a legacy rescue mission. Youll be joining a small, senior team to write modern, well-structured code and shape the technical roadmap of a platform thats already making an impact.

The Tech Stack

Youll be working with:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Zustand.
• Backend: Python 3.10+ (FastAPI), Postgres, Redis.
• AI/Infrastructure: Google Vertex AI, GCP (Cloud Run), Docker, CI/CD.

What Youll Be Doing

• End-to-End Ownership: Building and shipping full-stack features, from AI analysis visualisations (Chart.js) to advanced workflows.
• High-Performance UI: Designing complex React components and ensuring our “Command Centre” remains lightning-fast under heavy data loads (AG Grid).
• AI Integration: Refining LLM prompting logic and CV parsing to improve candidate scoring and bias reduction.
• Scaling Architecture: Extending our FastAPI services with a focus on strong typing, validation, and async performance.

Who You Are

We are looking for a "Product Engineer"someone who cares as much about the user experience as they do about the underlying architecture.

• Frontend Expert: You have deep experience with modern React (Hooks, Composition) and building data-heavy interfaces.
• Python Pro: You are comfortable building and maintaining async APIs (FastAPI/Pydantic).
• Testing Advocate: You believe in the “Testing Pyramid” (Pytest, Vitest, Cypress).
• Problem Solver: You enjoy solving ambiguous, real-world problems and want meaningful ownership rather than just “clearing tickets.”

Why Join crooton?

• No Legacy Drag: Work on a modern stack with no inherited technical debt.
• AI-First Culture: We use AI to accelerate our own development and iteration.
• Senior Collaboration: Work closely with our Leadership Team in an environment that values clean architecture and good engineering judgment.
• Real Impact: As part of a small team, you will see your work used immediately by organisations hiring at scale.
• The Package: £55k£65k DOE + performance-related bonus and a hybrid working model in Peterborough.
