🙆♀️ About us
We’re a market leading tech company that provides data on the fastest growing companies in the UK. We’re at a pretty exciting stage right now—we’ve built a profitable, high-growth business, with 120+ employees and an enviable client list. But we’re not done yet. We’re on a mission to become a global data company that helps every organisation discover and work better with ambitious, high-growth companies.
🥖 The role
Our product engineering team works in tightly-knit squads that deliver a mixture of quick wins and larger scale updates. We need a great software engineer to help us deliver new and improved ways of accessing, storing, analysing, and presenting our data to make our product better than ever before – and ultimately drive our commercial success as a business.
Day-to-day your responsibilities might include:
🏆 Delivering quick wins: making quick improvements to the platform so we can make our users' work just a little bit easier
💭 Feature creation: building APIs to expose new datasets and creating new frontend components for features as we add them to the platform
👫 Working with the Product team: helping product managers and designers turn their ideas into reality, whilst prioritising usability and performance
Examples of the kind of projects could you be working on:
Working with our product team to make our current features like ‘Collections of companies’ & ‘People you know’ on the platform easier to find and use
Integrating the machine learning models we've built in-house to allow semantic search for companies
Handling performance & usability issues and helping to upgrade our tools to work with the data we have on the 10 million+ registered companies in the UK
👉 About you
There is no one size fits all for this role, but we’d expect you have at least 2 years of experience working as a software engineer in the industry.
Technical must haves:
Experience with both backend (such as Python, Ruby, PHP, node, etc.) and frontend web development (HTML, CSS, Javascript)
Familiarity with a Python web framework (like Django, flask or fastAPI) and a javascript framework (such as vue, React, Angular or Ember)
Great too (but not essential)
Understanding of some of the following: Django Rest Framework, PostgreSQL, Celery, Docker, NGINX, AWS, git or github.
Also, ideally you’ll be:
Detail-oriented – You are meticulous with a keen eye for detail, and know how to apply feedback to your work
Independent & proactive – You should be happy to take on small projects and run with them, but also know when to ask for a helping hand!
Natural problem-solver – You love getting deep into a problem & working hard to find the solution.

We're offering a competitive starting salary.
On top of this, we invest a lot in keeping our people happy and healthy! So as well as that, you'll also get:
