Senior Software Engineer
Full Stack - Ruby on Rails, React
Up to £120k DOE
Fully Remote - must be UK based
We're looking for a senior, hands-on engineer who still loves being deep in the code, but is ready to play a bigger role in shaping how a product and engineering team evolves.
This is a fully hands-on role where you'll spend the majority of your time building and shipping software in Ruby on Rails and React, while also acting as a technical role model for the team. You'll work closely with the Head of Engineering on architectural direction, help raise the bar on engineering quality, and mentor other engineers through example.
What you'll be doing
* Designing, building, and maintaining high-quality software across the stack, primarily in Ruby on Rails and React
* Taking a lead role in technical and architectural decisions, partnering closely with the Head of Engineering
* Staying deeply hands-on while setting patterns and standards others can follow
* Mentoring and supporting engineers across different levels through code reviews, pairing, and informal coaching
* Collaborating closely with Product and Design to shape solutions, not just implement tickets
* Championing testing, clean code, and maintainable systems
* Continuously improving engineering practices, tooling, and ways of working
What we're looking for
* Significant experience building and running production systems with Ruby on Rails
* Strong experience with React and modern frontend practices
* A track record of making sensible architectural decisions in growing codebases
* Someone who enjoys being a technical leader without stepping away from hands-on work
* Clear communicator who can explain trade-offs and decisions to both engineers and non-engineers
* A pragmatic mindset: focused on solving user problems rather than chasing theoretical perfection
What's in it for you
* Salary up to £120,000, depending on experience
* Fully remote role, UK-based
* A senior position with real influence over architecture and technical direction
* The chance to work in a small, experienced team where quality and autonomy are valued
* Space to mentor others while continuing to grow technically yourself
We're proud to be an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from all backgrounds.
