Software Engineer - BE (mid)

We want to be transparent about what makes someone successful here:

• We thrive on collaboration - We believe the best solutions come from working together. Pair programming is part of our DNA, not an occasional practice. If you prefer collaborative problem-solving and learning from others over solo work, you'll feel right at home.
• We embrace change - In a fast-growing scale-up processing millions of documents daily, priorities can shift as we respond to market opportunities. We see this as exciting rather than frustrating, and we're looking for engineers who can adapt with agility.
• We focus on impact - We care about delivering value to customers efficiently. We prioritise observability and monitoring over exhaustive testing, believing that understanding how our systems behave in production is more valuable than perfect test coverage. If you're open to experimenting with different methodologies, this role offers a great opportunity to broaden your horizons.
• We leverage AI - We're not just building AI products; we're using AI to build better. We expect our engineers to actively explore and adopt AI tools that make them more productive.
• We own our systems - When something goes wrong in production, we don't point fingers. We fix it, learn from it, and improve our observability to catch it earlier next time.
