- **Salary:** £50,000.0 - £70,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Extract Transform Load (ETL), Relational Databases, Python (Programming Language), PostgreSQL, Open Source Technology, SQL Databases, TypeScript, Large Language Models, Backend, Information Technology, Data Management, Restful APIs, Data Pipelines, Docker

## About the Role

* Graduate to 3 years' commercial experience
 * 2:1 or above from a top uni in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or similar
 * Strong Python, TypeScript and SQL fundamentals
 * Relational databases, APIs and ETL/ELT knowledge
 * Evidence you've actually built useful software - commercially, through internships, research, open source or independently
 * Strong problem-solving and analytical ability
 * Interest in AI/LLMs, cloud, Docker or data platforms beneficial
 * A curious, commercially minded personality who wants to understand how technology solves real business problems

For someone early in their career, the learning opportunity is significant. You'll work directly with a Senior Founding Engineer rather than disappearing into a large graduate intake, take ownership of real production systems and gain exposure across backend engineering, data, automation and applied AI. It's particularly well suited to someone who enjoys building outside the classroom and wants responsibility significantly earlier than they'd typically receive within a larger technology organisation.

For a confidential discussion, contact Nathan Laidlaw at Transparent Technology.
