You strike the balance between rigour and urgency: you know when detail matters and when it is a valueless rabbit hole. You have built everything from MVPs to large scale production systems, and you can debug complex systems well enough that the right improvement becomes obvious. You keep up with the industry, assess new libraries, tools and approaches on evidence, and adopt the ones that pay off. Skills required: * Strong TypeScript, and you argue for statically typed languages on their merits * Deep Node.js ecosystem knowledge (node, npm, yarn), including bundling and dependency management (Bun a plus) * Proficient with AI tooling, including shipping code via CLI or editor-based LLM agents and using MCP servers * Solid grasp of the React paradigm (one-way data binding, declarative programming, rules of hooks, common anti-patterns) * Practical software engineering principles and complexity management (separation of concerns, design patterns, domain-driven design), and a bias towards clean, simple code * Familiarity with container-based cloud-native applications and patterns such as REST APIs, message passing, horizontal and vertical scaling, and load balancing * Awareness of web security concerns (SQL injection, XSS, CORS, cookies, authentication and authorisation) ## Description Hybrid: 2 days per week in our Tower Bridge office (Wednesdays & Thursdays), As a Staff Software Engineer you will set the technical direction for Financial Services and raise the standard the team holds itself to. You will work across the full stack (infrastructure, databases, pipelines, servers, CDNs, responsive accessible React components aligned to our design system, real-time metrics and alerting) with product managers, commercial managers, ops executives, data analysts, designers and other engineers. Most of your day lands on the front end, but you own quality end to end. You will turn commercial and customer problems into working software, and put a value on the problems worth solving first. You will make the engineers around you better, measured by what the team ships rather than what you ship alone (we do not hire lone wolves). You will run code reviews, give and take direct feedback without ego, and keep our applications tested, secure and maintainable. We already run AI inside live workflows and have several projects with AI at the core. You will find concrete uses for AI that move a metric, then help other teams adopt what actually works. We treat AI fluency as a core requirement, so expect to show, in interview, where you have used AI tooling to ship real work., Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Argo Workflows, GitHub Actions, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, dbt data pipelines, Fastly, Storybook, component libraries and design systems, Bun. You will not tick every box on this list, and we would rather you applied than talked yourself out of it. We expect you to keep learning here, and we will back you to do it. ## Related Videos - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE – AI, Freelancing, Keeping Up with Tech and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1786-wearedevelopers-live-ai-freelancing-keeping-up-with-tech-and-more) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss)
