We care more about problem-solving ability, learning speed, judgement and ownership than experience in a particular framework or language. Our engineering environment is increasingly AI-native. Engineers use modern AI models and development tools to understand existing systems, design solutions, generate and test code, investigate problems and accelerate delivery. The ability to reason about a problem, direct these tools effectively and validate the result is increasingly more important than memorising a particular technology stack. The successful person will initially work alongside experienced engineers and Technical Leads, with the expectation that they develop quickly into someone capable of owning an important area of our platform. * Strong degree, ideally first-class or strong 2:1, in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a similarly analytical discipline * Up to 2 years' commercial software engineering experience * Evidence of exceptional problem-solving and learning ability * Has built and shipped real production software * Understands the fundamentals of: + APIs and distributed web applications + relational data and SQL + software design + testing + security + debugging and production systems * Comfortable using AI models and coding agents extensively as part of software development * Able to understand and challenge AI-generated solutions rather than blindly accepting them * Interested in understanding the business and product domain, not just implementing tickets * Takes responsibility and naturally moves towards ownership * Communicates clearly with technical and non-technical people Technology Our products currently use technologies including C#, .NET, SQL Server, Blazor, Angular, TypeScript and cloud platforms. Experience with these is useful, but we do not want to exclude exceptional candidates because they have worked in a different modern technology stack. Someone who has demonstrated that they can learn quickly and build good software is more important than someone who happens to know our current framework. What success looks like We want someone who can progress from a capable early-career engineer into a person who: * understands a significant product/domain deeply * makes good technical decisions * can use AI to deliver substantially faster * solves ambiguous problems without requiring detailed instructions * takes end-to-end responsibility * ultimately becomes a Senior Engineer, Principal-level specialist or Technical Lead ## Related Videos - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
