Requirements

  • Owning cloud infrastructure across AWS & GCP

  • Designing clean, versioned, backwards-compatible APIs

? What we're looking for:

  • Hands-on experience running real production workloads on AWS - not just deploying to it

  • Strong Postgres/SQL skills: schema design, query tuning, migrations

  • Solid API design chops: clear contracts, versioning, backwards compatibility

  • Python-first mindset (FastAPI or similar)

  • Redis experience: caching patterns, invalidation, pub/sub

  • Comfort owning and operating your own services in CI/CD

** Fully remote within the UK, with monthly in-person engineering get-togethers to keep the team connected.

** Circa £130-150K + generous perks.
