Founding Engineer
London, UK
Up to £150K
Permanent
What You’ll Do:
- Design, build, and own Scope’s core technology stack — from architecture decisions to hands-on coding.
- Develop and scale APIs, infrastructure, and AI/ML systems that power our product.
- Work closely with the founding team on product roadmap, strategy, and technical vision.
- Set engineering standards and help define our technical culture.
- Tackle complex technical challenges while balancing speed and quality in a fast-moving environment.
- Help recruit and mentor future engineers as the team grows.
What We’re Looking For:
- 4+ years of experience building production-grade software (bonus if you’ve been at a startup or built 0→1 products).
- Strong backend engineering skills (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and experience designing scalable systems.
- Proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD).
- Ability to collaborate on product design and business decisions — you care about the “why,” not just the “how.”
- Passion for building and shipping quickly while laying a solid technical foundation.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — you’re resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity.
