Job Specifications
Software Engineer – Full Stack (Python & TypeScript)
A fast-scaling FinTech is expanding its engineering team and is hiring a Software Engineer with strong full stack capability across Python and TypeScript. Their platform supports businesses across the UK and continues to grow at pace, with billions already delivered through their systems.
This role sits at the centre of their product and platform development, giving you the opportunity to work across the entire stack, influence how systems evolve, and help shape the next chapter of their technology landscape.
What You’ll Work On
As a full stack engineer, you’ll be involved in every layer of the product — backend services, frontend applications, and everything in between. You’ll:
Build and refine production systems across backend (Python) and frontend (TypeScript/React)
Design APIs, data flows, and user-facing features that work together seamlessly
Work end-to-end: plan, build, ship, and support the software you create
Help shape architectural choices for services, data, cloud infrastructure, and UI
Collaborate with product, design, data, and engineering peers to deliver impactful outcomes
Contribute to engineering standards, mentor teammates, and improve team ways of working
Prioritise simple, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity
Leverage modern tooling — including AI-assisted development — to speed up delivery and improve quality
Tech You’ll Use
Backend: Python, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, MySQL
Frontend: TypeScript, React, styled-components
Testing: Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, pytest
Cloud & Infra: AWS, GCP, ECS Fargate, Terraform, Docker
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, automated pipelines
No one is expected to know everything — what matters is strong engineering fundamentals and a willingness to learn.
How the Engineering Teams Operate
Cross-functional squads with shared ownership of outcomes
Continuous deployment with automated pipelines
Test-first mindset and focus on high reliability
Cloud-native systems designed for resilience and scale
Engineers have full lifecycle ownership from idea → production → iteration
Decisions guided by real user needs and data
Team Culture
Inclusive, diverse teams where everyone’s input is valued
Low-ego, supportive, and collaborative environment
Space to experiment, propose new ideas, and influence direction
Culture of learning, curiosity, and continuous improvement
Strong emphasis on building robust systems, not just shipping fast
