Description

Senior Software Engineer – YC‑Backed Startup


Located in London. This founding team role offers £90 K–£120 K plus equity.


I'm working with an exciting YC‑backed startup in London that's just closed a multi‑million‑pound funding round and is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join their founding engineering team.


Despite being early‑stage, they're already punching well above their weight – with paying customers onboarded and serious traction in their market. This is a rare opportunity to get in at the ground floor of something special.


Responsibilities



  • Working directly alongside the founders to build and scale the product

  • Taking real ownership over technical decisions and architecture

  • Shaping the engineering culture and technical direction from day one

  • Building features that directly impact paying customers


Tech Stack



  • Python

  • TypeScript

  • React/Next.js


Benefits



  • 3 days per week in their London office (hybrid working)

  • Direct impact on product and company direction

  • Work with world‑class founders backed by Y Combinator


Qualifications



  • Strong commercial experience with Python and TypeScript

  • Experience with React/Next.js or similar modern front‑end frameworks

  • Someone who thrives in fast‑paced, early‑stage environments

  • A builder who wants ownership, not just tickets to complete


If you're a senior engineer looking to step into a founding team role at a startup with genuine momentum, let's talk.


Location & Employment



  • London, United Kingdom

  • Full‑time, Mid‑Senior level
