Senior Full-Stack Engineer – £80,000 + Share Scheme
Location: Edinburgh (Hybrid – 2 days per week in office)
Join a cutting-edge legal-tech company building AI-enhanced, cloud-based solutions that power litigation, arbitration, and case-management for top global law firms. Working at the intersection of software engineering, data, and applied AI, you’ll help develop a modern, scalable platform trusted by international clients.
This role is ideal for a strong engineer who wants to build complex systems, work with emerging AI technologies, and contribute to architectural decisions.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help drive the development of our data-driven, cloud-native digital platform. You’ll work across our stack—TypeScript, React, Python, and AI-powered backend services—to build reliable, scalable features that shape the future of legal technology.
You’ll work closely with product, design, and platform engineering teams, contributing to high-impact projects and system-level improvements.
What You’ll Do
* Build and evolve distributed, API-first SaaS applications using TypeScript, React, and Python.
* Design performant, reliable web applications and backend services that integrate with AI tools and models.
* Collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end features, ensuring strong security, scalability, and maintainability.
* Contribute to architectural discussions involving microservices, multi-tenant systems, and cloud deployments.
* Implement engineering best practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and automation.
* Work hands-on across the stack—no line management or people leadership responsibilities.
Tech Stack & Expertise
* Strong TypeScript experience across frontend and backend.
* Python for backend data services, automation, AI tooling, and integration with LLM-based features.
* Experience with distributed systems or cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred).
* Familiarity with React for front-end development.
* Understanding of modern CI/CD, containerisation, and observability.
* Exposure to AI/ML tooling, vector databases, embeddings, RAG workflows, or LLM integration is a plus.
About You
* ~5+ years in software engineering with solid full-stack experience.
* Comfortable owning technical work end-to-end without needing to manage others.
* Strong understanding of system performance, scalability, and modern cloud practices.
* Capable of making pragmatic engineering decisions and communicating trade-offs.
* Passionate about building elegant, high-impact software and experimenting with new AI technologies.
