Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Full Stack Engineer (Python/AI) - **Company:** hedgehog lab - **Location:** Newcastle upon Tyne, UK - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** PHP (Programming Language), Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Engineering, Python (Programming Language), Laravel, Software Tools, ReactJS - **Published:** June 29, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=778e885ec2c649d9 ## About the Role Do you have experience in React? ## Description You're a strong Python engineer who uses agentic tooling seriously in your day to day work. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster and deliver better. You don't need someone to define every problem for you, but you're not looking to own the roadmap either. You want to do great engineering work on something that matters. If that's you, keep reading. You'll be embedded into the product team of one of the UK's leading procurement platforms as your first project here. The platform connects organisations managing construction projects with the suppliers who deliver them. It's high-traffic and there's serious engineering work to be done at every layer of the stack. Your focus is the Python and agentic side of the platform. You'll be building the Python services and AI-native features that sit at the heart of how this product works. The platform also runs on PHP/Laravel, so you'll need to get under the skin of that codebase to do the Python work properly. This is hands-on engineering across a real, live system, not a clean slate. To do this well, you'll need to be someone who: * Has strong experience at Senior Full Stack level in commercial, production Python environments * Has used agentic engineering tools to ship real features into production systems, not just personal projects * Knows AWS and has built scalable, cloud-native APIs before * Has enough front end range to work with React.js when needed * Is comfortable working in and around an existing PHP/Laravel codebase Here's what you get in return. You'll be working on a real platform with real scale, alongside engineers who take the craft seriously. The work is varied and you'll have the seniority to contribute to how things are done, not just what gets shipped. Agentic engineering is genuinely central to how this project works, not a buzzword on a job advert. You'll be using these tools in production every day, which means the experience you build here is current, practical and transferable. Working here means exposure to multiple clients and contexts over time. If you want to keep growing as an engineer rather than going deep on one product forever, that variety matters. Beyond the work itself, here's what benefits come with the role. * 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays * 5 Impact Days for learning, innovation or volunteering * Flexible working environment * Enhanced parental leave * Annual wellbeing budget plus 2 wellbeing days * Mental health support * Company Mac ## Related Videos - [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) - [The Laravel Core - Demystify The Beast](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/98-the-laravel-core-demystify-the-beast) - [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) - [ Secure Code Superstars: Empowering Developers and Surpassing Security Challenges Together](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/422-secure-code-superstars-empowering-developers-and-surpassing-security-challenges-together) - [Are frameworks like React redundant in an AI world?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1246-are-frameworks-like-react-redundant-in-an-ai-world) - [API Platform: From Rest & GraphQL APIs to state-of-the-art standards in seconds](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1968-api-platform-from-rest-graphql-apis-to-state-of-the-art-standards-in-seconds) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss)
