Staff Software Engineer – London – Python or Golang

I’m working with a venture-backed AI startup that’s building technology capable of processing and analysing huge volumes of real-time video and security data. Following significant growth, they’re looking for a Staff Backend Engineer to help scale the infrastructure powering the platform.

This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit legacy systems, you’ll be instrumental in defining how the platform evolves as the company enters its next phase.

What you’ll be working on:

• Designing and scaling distributed backend systems
• Optimising databases, streaming pipelines, queues and caching
• Improving platform reliability, observability and performance
• Partnering with engineering leadership to shape technical strategy

Tech you’ll use:

• Event-driven & distributed architectures

You’ll likely have:

• 9+ years building scalable backend or platform infrastructure
• Experience working on high-throughput, data-intensive systems
• A passion for solving complex engineering challenges
• Join early enough to make a genuine impact
• Work alongside an exceptional engineering team
• Build infrastructure that processes data at massive scale
• Competitive salary plus meaningful equity in a fast-growing AI business
