## About the Role

A competent software engineer with 2-6+ years of experience who will blend the right level of agileness and discipline to our codebases. We expect heavy use of AI coding harnesses - Claude Code, Codex, and our own agents.

You should enjoy specifying, brainstorming, and implementing features to align to a general product roadmap - and also the huge step change in productivity that agentic coding brings.

Some experienced engineers do not want to work in this ay. We are looking for someone who has already made the switch and has views on good practice: how to structure a repository so agents work well in it, when to let an agent run and when to stop it, and how to keep quality up when code is cheap to produce., * 2-6+ years of professional software engineering experience

 * 2:1 or above in a technical subject
 * Strong in systems design and evidence of writing end-to-end codebases
 * Production experience with Linux, containers, on-premise infrastructure, and databases
 * Daily, current use of AI coding harnesses. We will ask you to show us how you work.
 * Right to work in the UK

## Description

* AI coding harnesses are already your main way of writing software, at work or on your own projects
 * You enjoy owning systems across design, build, deployment, and operation
 * You want to work on infrastructure that serves top tier hedge funds and family offices
 * You are comfortable with a self-directed role and a short path from idea to production

This role is not for you if:

 * You use AI tools occasionally and prefer to write most code yourself
 * You want a large engineering organisation with fixed processes and a narrow development remit
 * You want to let someone else handle the product roadmap in its entirety

Why join us

 * We're in our most exciting stage of growth yet. You'll get a tonne of ownership and autonomy without wondering whether we have market fit
 * You'll get unlimited access to the best open source models, running on our own state-of-the-art Blackwell and Rubin GPUs that we own and operate in the UK
 * Direct work with two founders who have both grown businesses in non-traditional ways
 * Progression tied to the work you own
