Senior Software Engineer

Remote with occasional company wide meet ups

£60,000–£65,000 per annum

VIQU are working with a client running one of the most established platforms in their sector, who are currently building: a next-generation, cloud-native platform built from the ground up.

You'd be joining at the point where the architecture is still being shaped, working directly with senior technical leadership to make decisions about how the platform scales, while also being the person a more junior developer on the team looks to for guidance.

Responsibilities of the Senior Software Engineer:

  • Designing and building features across the full stack: React/TypeScript on the front end, Python/Node.js on the back, PostgreSQL for data, all running on AWS serverless/microservices.

  • Help to shape technical design and architecture decisions for the new platform.

  • Mentor a junior AI developer and help raise the engineering standard across the team.

  • Work in an AI-first environment with modern AI-assisted dev tools already part of the day-to-day workflow.

Requirements of the Senior Software Engineer:
  • Previous experience as a senior level full stack engineer.

  • Comfortable across React/TypeScript, Python or Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS serverless/microservices.

  • Have contributed to a greenfield build, major refactor, or distributed systems.

  • Experience with accounting, financial or ERP software would be nice to have.

  • Have some experience mentoring less experienced developers.
