We’re embracing the power of AI to enhance our products and workflows, and we’re looking for developers who share our curiosity and drive for innovation.
We're not just experimenting with AI—we’re embedding it into how we build, think, and evolve. You’ll actively harness tools like GitHub Copilot to push boundaries and accelerate development.
You’ll bring at least two years of experience in a technical role and a strong desire to grow both your technical and soft skills, both through self-learning and from other team members.

- Write secure, maintainable and well-tested code that follows our development standards and meets the requirements set out by the product team
- Engage and communicate effectively with other team members across product, development and QA
- Demonstrate continuous personal improvement by learning through feedback, showing an eagerness to learn, and improving technical and interpersonal skills
Key role measures
- Become an active member of the scrum team, and contribute to the successful delivery of the sprint goal
- Be responsive and collaborative with all other team members. Personally contribute to our agile ceremonies.
- Demonstrate a growth in technical skills and your understanding of development practices
- Write and maintain reliable, quality code in line with the existing codebase
Experience and skills
Our ideal candidate would have experience in the following areas:
- 2+ years of experience in a technical role, ideally in software development
- An understanding of web technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Exposure to frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js)
- Experience with development in C# and .NET, along with an understanding of unit testing
- Interest in cloud platforms such as Azure
- Have demonstrable experience of using AI tools like GitHub Copilot
- Good problem-solving and communication skills
- An enthusiasm for agile development and teamwork
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway and tell us more about yourself. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
We believe that seeing the world from all sorts of angles makes life better for all. We want you to know that the things that make you an individual, like your identity, age, ethnicity, religion, ability and background, are things that we choose to celebrate and support.
We are a scale-up company, and as we continue to grow, we are passionate that having a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace will remain at our core. We are creating an inclusive environment where our people can thrive.
Our values are aligned and at the heart of everything we do. We are respectful, united, rigorous, relentless and ethical.
