Senior Software Engineer

Role: Senior Software Engineer

Location: Remote

Salary: up to £1000,000

Type: Permanent

I'm currently partnering with a well-funded, product-led technology company that is solving highly complex operational challenges through AI, automation, and modern software engineering.

They're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, high-performing team responsible for designing, building, and operating mission-critical systems used at scale.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your time building simple CRUD applications or working from a long list of tickets. They're looking for engineers who enjoy tackling difficult technical problems, making architectural decisions, and owning systems from concept through to production.

What you'll be working on:

* Building scalable backend services in Python

* Designing distributed systems that are reliable, observable, and fault tolerant

* Developing APIs and services that power core platform functionality

* Contributing to architecture, engineering standards, and technical strategy

* Improving performance, scalability, and operational resilience

* Working closely with a highly experienced, remote-first engineering team

What they're looking for:

• Strong commercial experience with Python
• Experience with Flask or similar backend frameworks
• Deep understanding of distributed systems and scalable architectures
• Strong SQL and database design skills
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Docker and modern CI/CD practices
• A track record of owning production systems and solving complex engineering challenges
• Ability to work independently and thrive in a high-trust, low-ego environment

Bonus points for:

• React or modern frontend experience
• Experience in high-growth product environments
• Interest in AI-assisted development and automation

You must be UK based & have full right to work in the UK.
