About the Role
Join a full-stack engineering team building AI-powered software for certification, inspection, and compliance workflows. You will work directly with customers to understand their day-to-day operations and turn complex requirements into reliable production systems.
What You'll Do
Work alongside customer operations teams to understand how certification, inspection, and compliance processes function in practice.
Lead customer conversations, write specifications, and build end-to-end systems across the frontend, backend, data model, and AI layer.
Own product areas from discovery through deployment, collaborating closely with company leadership.
Ship software quickly, observe how users work with it, and iterate based on their feedback.
Use judgment to distinguish broadly useful customer needs from one-off requests.
Analyze customer documents and real-world outputs to build AI workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.
What We're Looking For
Three to six years of experience as a software engineer or product engineer, with a track record of shipping production systems.
Full-stack development skills, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, and cloud infrastructure.
Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in a forward-deployed, customer-facing, early-stage, or founding engineering role.
Familiarity with AI/ML, large language models, or document intelligence.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers and adapt to real operational needs.
Strong technical fundamentals and experience in a high-performing technology environment.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: £100,000 to £160,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
On-site in London, United Kingdom.
