Overview
Reporting to the Engineering Lead, you will build reliable backend services that power our lending platform. This is a role for a developer who cares about writing clean, readable code and wants to master modern software engineering practices under the guidance of a Senior team.
Core Technologies
Core: Modern Python (3.10+), React (Hooks/Context), REST APIs.
Quality: Pytest, Git, CI/CD.
Core Responsibilities
* Build & Maintain: Write clear, maintainable Python code for our backend services.
* Fullstack Exposure: Contribute to React frontend tasks (wiring APIs, managing state, handling hooks like useState).
* Quality First: Write robust unit tests (using pytest) and ensure code reliability.
* Integrations: Consume REST APIs and handle common request/response patterns.
Requirements
* Python Proficiency: You understand standard libraries and how to structure a project cleanly.
* React Familiarity: You can navigate a React codebase, create components, and handle basic state.
* Growth Mindset: You are eager to learn about system architecture and reliability from senior engineers.
* Communication: Our ethos is one of continuous improvement, driven by a highly collaborative environment. While there is plenty of deep work involved, this isn’t a solitary role—we prioritize pairing, design discussions, and shared problem-solving over working in isolation.
Note: Although this is a remote role, we require all candidates to be UK-based, as the role will require occasional travel to our office in Cardiff. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role; all applicants must have full UK right to work.
