The Role
We're looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join our engineering team in London. You'll work alongside senior engineers and the Head of Engineering to build and improve the products behind our AI-driven platform. This is a hands-on role with real responsibility from day one - you'll ship code that reaches millions of users.
If you're a sharp, curious developer with solid Python fundamentals who wants to grow fast in a high-energy startup environment, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do
* Build and maintain backend services and REST APIs using Python and FastAPI
* Work with PostgreSQL to design and query databases that support product features
* Contribute to AI-powered features and integrations, working closely with more experienced engineers
* Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews to improve your craft and the team's output
* Deploy and manage services using Docker and CI/CD pipelines
* Collaborate with Product, Design, and Frontend teams to turn ideas into working features
* Debug, troubleshoot, and solve problems across the stack as they come up
What We're Looking For
* Up to 3-4 years of professional software development experience
* Strong foundation in Python - you write it confidently and understand it deeply
* Experience with FastAPI is preferred; Django or Flask experience is also valuable
* Familiarity with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL
* Comfortable with Git, Docker, and basic deployment workflows
* A problem-solver by nature - you dig into issues rather than waiting for answers
* Genuine curiosity about AI, machine learning, or computer vision - you don't need to be an expert, but you want to learn
* Strong communicator who works well in a small, collaborative team
* Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Why Qoves
* Get hands-on with cutting-edge AI technology from day one
* Learn and grow fast in a well-funded startup with 2.5M+ community and strong traction
* Real ownership over features and code
* Work closely with founders and senior engineers in a meritocratic, mission-driven culture
* Work from our London office in a stunning converted old library - one of the most unique startup spaces in the city
* Shape the future of an entire industry at the intersection of AI and aesthetics
