Description
Software Engineer 🚀 Build something that transforms animals lives.
Central London/Hybrid
My client are looking to appoint a seasoned Software Engineer, to join their genuinely mission‑led business whose purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing in a very real, tangible way.
This is not purpose‑washing.
The product directly improves lives, and the commercial success proves it.
The company has scaled from start‑up to UK market leader in just a few years.
They’re now number one in their category, with turnover exceeding £40m, having doubled revenue in two years.
A £70m Series C raise has recently closed, and the next phase of growth is well underway.
European expansion is imminent, with further international scale planned shortly after.
Importantly, this is still a stage where individual engineers have genuine influence — on architecture, technical direction, and how systems evolve as the business grows.
The role is particularly interesting because of how engineering is approached day to day.
The team is pragmatic and modern in how they work.
Engineers are expected to be comfortable using AI as part of their workflow, to accelerate development, generate ideas and boilerplate where it makes sense, and critically, to validate, review and quality‑check the output.
Good engineering judgement, ownership, and a strong eye for quality matter far more than how quickly someone can type code.
You’ll be trusted to think in systems, make sound technical decisions, and take responsibility for what goes into production.
From a stack perspective, TypeScript and Next.js experience would be ideal, but the team is deliberately open‑minded.
Strong engineers coming from environments built in Python, PHP or other modern languages are very welcome.
If you’re motivated by impact, this is one of those rare opportunities where the mission and the scale genuinely align.
This is a business proving that doing good and building something highly successful are not mutually exclusive.
For the right engineer, it’s a chance to work on something that really matters, and to help shape what comes next.
Location: Central London (hybrid)
Salary: £75,000 – £80,000 + excellent benefits
