Lead engineer

Oxford
Remy - Agentic Food Retail
Lead engineer
Posted: 6h ago
Offer description

Location: Remote (UK/EU preferred, preferably +/- 3 hours from GMT)

Type: Full-time

Reports to: CPTO

Language: Fluent English required


Who we are

Remy is building the digital infrastructure for modern food commerce. We help major grocery retailers

improve the end-user experience by providing tools to buy smart, while growing retailer profitability: all

by minimizing food waste. Win-win-win.


What we need

We need someone to own our core stack: managing our AWS and Supabase infrastructure. You need to be comfortable being an IC or part of a small team. You'll build headless, API-first architecture for multi-tenant SaaS and single-tenant clouds for enterprise

clients, powering white-label applications.

This is a founding team role: emphasis on founding. We're looking for someone who wants to grow

with us, not someone who's already done it all. You'll learn as much as you'll build.


Your day-to-day

• Own the infrastructure: Manage cloud infrastructure across AWS and Supabase. Edge

Functions, RLS policies, Postgres optimization: the full stack

• Build the API ecosystem: Design and maintain APIs, manage versioning, handle authentication,

rate limiting, and third-party integrations

• Build fast with AI: We leverage AI heavily for development (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, etc.). You

should too

• Ship enterprise features: Multi-tenancy, white-label applications, headless architecture,

real-time data pipelines, webhook systems that scale

• Join the leadership team: Shape product, architecture, and technical strategy. This isn't just a

coding role

• Grow into management (if you want to): Whether you want to become a Principal Engineer

driving technical strategy, or an Engineering Manager running standups and building a team: both

paths are open


What we're looking for


Must-haves:


• PostgreSQL expertise: Strong foundation in Postgres: query optimization, indexing, database

design, RLS (Row Level Security)

• Backend & infrastructure: Solid foundation in Node.js, Express/NestJS. Experience managing

cloud infrastructure and deployments

• API design & development: Experience building APIs, handling authentication, versioning, and

integrations

• LLM & agent development: You've built LLM-powered applications or AI agents before

• AI-powered development: You actively use AI coding tools (GitHub repos, projects, demos)

• Startup mindset: You're scrappy, pragmatic, and comfortable with ambiguity. You'd rather ship

and iterate than architect the perfect system

• Proven builder: We care about what you've shipped, not your pedigree

• Fluent English: Written and spoken


Nice-to-have:


• Supabase experience

• AWS experience

• MCP (Model Context Protocol) experience

• Frontend experience (React Native) and a taste for good design

• White-label or headless architecture experience

• Startup experience: doesn't matter if it's your own and you failed


Who thrives here


You're ambitious but realistic. You've built real things but know there's more to learn. You're betting on

yourself and your growth trajectory.

You leverage AI to punch above your weight. You ship fast, learn fast, fail fast. You want meaningful

equity in something real, not just a comfortable salary. You'd rather be employee #3 building something

from scratch than employee #300 at a big company.

You're not someone who needs the perfect resume before applying. You are someone who can show

real work: deployed projects, open source contributions, or side projects that demonstrate you can

build.


Why Remy?


• Attractive equity: Founding engineer-level ownership

• Grow fast: You'll be stretched. You'll level up faster here than anywhere else

• Real impact: Building infrastructure that reduces food waste while helping both consumers and

retailers

• Leadership track: Shape culture, hire your team, become a Principal Engineer or Engineering

Manager: your choice

• Modern stack: Supabase, PostgreSQL, Node.js, React Native, AI coding tools

• Small team: Every decision matters. Your voice counts


What we offer


We're an early-stage startup, which means we're trading market-rate salaries for attractive equity and

the opportunity to build something from the ground up. The salary is modest but sufficient. If you're

looking for top-tier compensation, this isn't the role. If you're looking to bet on yourself and be part of

something special, let's talk.


No recruiters, please.
