Description

Founding Engineer (Backend) – All Levels 📍 London (5 days onsite) | 🚀 Series A ($25M raised) | 💰 Salary + Meaningful Equity The Opportunity We’re working with an ambitious early-stage startup that’s just secured $25M Series A funding and is now building out its founding engineering team. Led by repeat founders with a proven exit, this is a rare chance to join at the ground floor of a company with serious momentum, a clear vision, and the backing to execute fast. They’re looking for Founding Engineers across junior to senior levels, with a backend focus and a mindset geared toward ownership, curiosity, and solving hard technical problems. Why This Role Stands Out • Join a world-class team—high bar, low ego, deeply technical • Massive ownership from day one—your work will shape the product and architecture • Tackle complex, non-trivial engineering challenges at scale • Work directly with founders who’ve built and exited successfully before • Be part of the core team defining engineering culture and direction What You’ll Be Doing • Design, build, and scale core backend systems and infrastructure • Work on deep technical challenges—performance, scalability, distributed systems • Collaborate closely with founders and early team on product and technical direction • Take ideas from zero to production with real ownership • Contribute to key architectural decisions in a fast-moving environment What They’re Looking For • Strong fundamentals in backend engineering (language-agnostic) • Open to a range of experience levels—from high-potential juniors to seasoned seniors • A mindset for ownership, autonomy, and building from scratch • Passion for solving hard technical problems, not just shipping features • Comfortable working onsite, 5 days a week in a highly collaborative setting Tech Stack • Flexible and evolving—focused on using the right tools for the problem • You’ll have real influence over tech and architectural decisions What You’ll Get • Meaningful equity—be properly incentivised as an early hire • The chance to work with some of the best engineers and operators in the space • A high-performance environment where you’ll learn fast and be challenged daily • Direct exposure to experienced founders and top-tier investors
