- React + TypeScript on the frontend

-
Strong product mindset with a high bar for usability, accessibility, and UI quality

Comfortable working with incomplete requirements and turning ambiguity into delivery
-
Experience leading or mentoring small engineering teams
-
A builder-leader mindset: able to write high-quality code while raising the bar for others
Nice to have
- Experience in high-integrity data environments (e.g. compliance, reporting, analytics platforms)
- Experience setting up early-stage engineering foundations (CI/CD, environments, logging/metrics)
Role details
- Full-time, permanent position
- Remote working (UK or European time zones)
- £95,000 per annum
- Equity participation available
- Opportunity to play a key technical leadership role as the platform and team scale
