We’re partnered with an early-stage technology business that is building the data infrastructure to power automation across a global, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Backed by leading investors, they’re tackling complex problems in a market that touches millions worldwide.

They are looking for a talented Software Engineer with a passion for accuracy, automation, and solving hard data challenges. This is a unique opportunity to join an experienced founding team and help design systems that transform how businesses operate at scale.

Responsibilities as a Software Engineer:

  • Clean, normalise, and integrate datasets from multiple sources with exceptional accuracy
  • Build automated data pipelines that adapt to evolving data formats and sources
  • Design scalable database schemas and optimise queries for performance
  • Develop systems that continuously learn and improve through real-world usage
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ship iterative solutions that deliver measurable impact
  • Contribute to the architecture of a core data platform powering automation across the ecosystem

Key Requirements:

  • Strong programming skills (Python and/or TypeScript preferred)
  • Proven experience with database design, schema evolution, and optimisation
  • Experience cleaning and reconciling conflicting datasets with a focus on quality and accuracy
  • Ability to build automated, resilient processes that reduce manual intervention
  • Understanding of cloud platforms and scalable infrastructure
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with an evidence-based approach to decisions
  • Comfortable in startup-style environments where problems are undefined and solutions need rapid iteration

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with complex B2B domains, marketplaces, or e-commerce
  • Background in industries with high SKU complexity
  • Previous startup experience
  • Genuine interest in the domain (a bonus, not essential)

This is a career-defining opportunity for a Software Engineer to join at the ground floor and shape the future of a transformative platform. If you’re passionate about building world-class data systems and want to make your mark, we’d love to hear from you.
