UK's Fastest Growing AI Hospitality Platform | Python/Django Engineer | Mid Level £60K - £90K + Equity | 3/4 Days London

Company

I am working with an exciting AI start-up that are reshaping how hospitality businesses operate. They have created the UK’s largest flexible workforce of hyper-local students, supporting major global brands. Now, they are combining that workforce with advanced AI to create a platform unlike anything else in the market.

Their newly launched AI product has already exceeded £1m ARR in its first 10 months and they are on track to grow that tenfold in the coming year. With rapid expansion across the UK underway, international growth is next starting with an ambitious launch in the US.

Role

They are now looking for back end engineers to join their cross-functional product pods. You’ll collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to build and maintain the core systems that power the company.

You may begin in one area of the codebase, but over time you’ll work across multiple parts of the stack—from backend services to data pipelines and API design.

This is an opportunity for someone who delivers high-quality code quickly, values well-structured architecture and knows when to be pragmatic. You’ll help shape best practices, take on meaningful technical challenges and contribute to the scaling of a platform used across the hospitality industry.

This is an office-first role based in Camden, 3–4 days per week.

Tech Stack

->Python(Django)

->GraphQL

->Go

->Flutter

->Kubernetes

->DataDog

->GitLab

What You’ll Do

->Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to solve real problems for users and internal teams.

->Build, test, and deploy new backend features with a focus on clean, scalable architecture.

->Maintain and monitor production systems to ensure speed, reliability, and a great user experience.

->Help design and evolve APIs, data flows, and integrations as the platform grows.

->Contribute to coding standards that balance speed with long-term quality.

->Share knowledge and support other developers to continuously raise the engineering bar.

About You

->Have a technical background (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Maths).

->Bring production experience in Python (Django), ideally for mobile or web applications.

->Are comfortable working with distributed systems and event-driven architectures.

->Communicate clearly and work effectively across disciplines.

->Are curious, hands-on, and motivated to learn new technologies.

->Enjoy fast-paced, high-energy environments and take pride in delivering great work quickly.

-> Have experience building products at a fast-growing start-up or top-tier tech company.
