Job Description

Software Engineer

Remote

Up to £60,000 + Benefits

The Role

Reporting to the Engineering Lead, you will build reliable backend services that power our lending platform. This is a role for a developer who cares about writing clean, readable code and wants to master modern software engineering practices under the guidance of a Senior team.

Tech Stack

Core: Modern Python (3.10+), React (Hooks/Context), REST APIs.

Quality: Pytest, Git, CI/CD.

Core Responsibilities

Build & Maintain: Write clear, maintainable Python code for our backend services.

Fullstack Exposure: Contribute to React frontend tasks (wiring APIs, managing state, handling hooks like useState).

Quality First: Write robust unit tests (using pytest) and ensure code reliability.

Integrations: Consume REST APIs and handle common request/response patterns.

Requirements

Python Proficiency: You understand standard libraries and how to structure a project cleanly.

React Familiarity: You can navigate a React codebase, create components, and handle basic state.

Growth Mindset: You are eager to learn about system architecture and reliability from senior engineers.

Communication: Our ethos is one of continuous improvement, driven by a highly collaborative environment. While there is plenty of deep work involved, this isn't a solitary role—we prioritize pairing, design discussions, and shared problem-solving over working in isolation.

*Please note, although this is a remote role, we still require all candidates to be UK-based, as the role will require occasional travel to our office in Cardiff. We are unable to offer VISA sponsorship for this role, all applicants must have full UK right to work.*
