## About the role
You'll work closely with our Head of Engineering or Head of AI. You'll be expected to be comfortable across the full stack - AI, backend and frontend - and move between them as the product demands. We're a small team, so versatility matters more than specialisation right now.
## What we're looking for
- You've built things outside of class or work - a side project, a hackathon win, something you were genuinely proud of and can walk us through
- You're full stack, with a preference for backend - someone who knows their way around frontend but lives in the backend
- You're the kind of person who figures things out rather than waiting to be told how
- You graduated with honours or have an equivalent signal that you're at the top of your field
- You're curious, sharp and energised by hard problems rather than comfortable ones
- Low ego - you're here to build, not to be seen building
## Compensation
- Salary: a competitive salary, benchmarked to the role and your experience. We're happy to discuss specifics early on.
- Pension: workplace pension with employer contributions.
## What you'll get
- 🏆 Recognition and rewards for great work.
- 🗓️ All the boring stuff everywhere else provides - 25 days off, pension, the lot.
- 🏙️ Amazing London offices: two spaces, one floor, 360° views across London. One side is built for collaboration and energy (small talk encouraged). The other is quiet, calm - a low-distraction focus space, always there when you need it.
- 🍱 A fully stocked fridge, a proper lounge, and a team that genuinely likes spending time together. Food is taken seriously here.
- 🎛️ You shape your own environment. Lighting, a desk away from the noise, headphones, a setup that works for you. Just ask.
- ⏱️ Flexible hours around a small set of shared core hours, plus focus time we actually protect, so you can work when you think best.
- 🚀 Ownership and autonomy. If you want to deploy a solution, you don't need five meetings. You just do it.
- 🧭 A clear first-month plan and someone you can ask anything, so you're never left guessing what's expected.
- 🤝 A team that takes the mission seriously, but not itself - we love socials, passion, and building something we believe in.
- ✨ Benefits are still being shaped - tell us what would make a real difference to your quality of life, and we'll consider it. We mean that.
## About the company
We believe no one should be a stranger just because they speak a different language.
Imagine two people, no shared language, talking as easily as old friends. That's exactly what we are building: real-time translation for real-world conversations.
It sounds like it should already exist. It doesn't. ✨🌍
We're a small, well-funded team in the heart of London, backed by people who built the tech already in your pocket, and we're right at the start. No one has built this before, including us, and that's the best part. 🚀
