Mid-Level Fullstack Engineer (React / TypeScript / Python)

The Role

We’re looking for a Mid-Level Software Engineer to join a team building and scaling a modern, enterprise-grade GenAI platform.

This is a frontend-leaning full-stack role, with a strong focus on React and TypeScript. You’ll spend most of your time building high-quality user experiences, while also contributing across the stack, particularly in Python and working closely with cloud infrastructure to ensure systems are scalable, observable, and production-ready.

You’ll be part of a team embedding AI capabilities into real-world workflows focusing on performance, usability, and reliability at scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build modern, responsive web applications using React and TypeScript
• Design clean, scalable UI architectures and reusable component systems
• Contribute to backend services, primarily in Python (with Node.js where needed)
• Integrate with REST and/or GraphQL APIs
• Work closely with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure) to design and operate scalable systems
• Deploy and manage applications in containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Improve CI/CD pipelines and delivery workflows
• Implement observability practices (logging, monitoring, tracing)
• Apply secure coding practices and support data protection requirements
• Troubleshoot issues across application and cloud infrastructure layers
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver production-ready systems
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience with React and TypeScript (core focus)
• Solid experience with Python for backend development
• Experience building production-grade web applications across the stack
• Strong understanding of frontend performance, state management, and component-driven design
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure)
• Experience integrating with REST or GraphQL APIs
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes beneficial)
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
• Understanding of observability concepts (logging, monitoring, tracing)
• Strong foundation in software engineering principles and system design
• Awareness of secure coding practices and data protection considerations
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with Node.js
• Experience running applications on Kubernetes in production
• Familiarity with observability tooling (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, New Relic)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code
• Exposure to distributed or event-driven architectures
• Experience working in client-facing or consulting environments
• Familiarity with security-conscious or regulated environments
