What you will be doing:
We are looking for driven, talented Senior Software Engineers to help us build our SaaS-based anti-money laundering solutions, which help organisations fight financial crime! We are building cutting-edge solutions that help reveal the truth for a safer world and stop money from ending up in the hands of criminals.
As a member of the Identity and API team, you will be at the core of our innovation. We are building the company's first AI agents from the ground up and developing the frameworks that all our engineering teams will use to build secure, scalable APIs. Our work is foundational to the entire product suite.
We have a true API-first philosophy. Our own web app, AI agents, and client integrations are all consumers of the same public API we and other teams provide. This commitment forces us to build for quality and scalability from day one.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:
- Work alongside other software engineers and data scientists in our platform tribe to create the first AI agents in our products.
- Build features such as “auto-remediation” that enable our clients to use the rest of our product more effectively.
- Collaborate with product managers, UX designers and other developers, including our front end developers, to make sure we’re planning and building the functionality our clients need.
- Write tests, and take ownership of the systems that ensure the quality of our code.
- Coach others in the team, sharing best practices and mentoring them.
Our Tech Stack:
- Cloud-Based Infrastructure: Fully cloud-based with a Kubernetes-focused tech stack. Compute workloads run in Kubernetes clusters across multiple regions.
- Development is organised around Kotlin and Python for our backend languages and TypeScript/ES6+React for our frontend stack. Our AI agent tooling is written in Python.
- We primarily use the postgres-compatible distributed database Yugabyte, along with Redis and Elasticsearch for specialised use-cases.
- We use an event-sourced model powered by Kafka for our communication bus and gRPC for our intra-service communication protocol
- We use modern observability solutions from Grafana Cloud, we build with GitLab tooling and deploy our code using ArgoCD
About you:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have:
- Experience writing production-grade Python applications;
- Awareness of a range of languages and paradigms, with the ability to coach/mentor juniors;
- Experience with APIs and microservice architectures;
- Experience with containerisation and cloud infrastructure;
- Ownership of software from idea inception to production;
- Experience working with tooling for testing, build and deployment pipelines;
- Working understanding of logging, monitoring and alerting tooling;
- Good communication and written skills including experience producing technical documentation.
Nice to haves
- Worked in an agile environment and have experience in pair programming;
- Experience of coaching or mentoring more junior members of an engineering team;
- The AI agent work will involve workflow automation, integration of our own APIs into the agent, and resilient data handling as the responses can be non-deterministic. Experience with any or all of these is great, but we know this is overall a very new field;
Education:
- BSc/BA degree in computer science, engineering or related discipline OR relevant years of experience in required skills.
