Summary
We're working with an exciting London-based startup that has recently announced its Series A funding from one of Europe's leading venture capital firms. With strong momentum behind them, they're now growing their engineering team to help deliver on an ambitious mission.
They're looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer who is comfortable building backend systems in Python. The team values product-minded engineers who enjoy solving real customer problems and taking ownership of their work.
Many of the engineers have backgrounds in startups and high-growth environments, but they're equally open to candidates from larger technology companies where product engineering is central to the culture.
