Software here is not an accessory to the hardware. It is where the product experience lives. We are building the whole stack from the device to the cloud, in direct service of how the hardware feels to use.

As a core engineer on the software team you will carry front end, back end and database work end to end, alongside product, design and hardware. We are looking for ownership and a user-first instinct — not someone who considers the job done when the code is written, but someone who actually minds how what they built feels in someone’s hands.

What you’ll do

  • Own front-end development, and hold the quality line on both interaction and visual detail.
  • Own back-end services: API design, data modelling, and the data path to the device.
  • Own database design, optimisation and day-to-day upkeep, so the data stays reliable and queryable.
  • Deploy, operate and monitor on a mainstream cloud — GCP, AWS or similar.
  • Work closely with product, design and hardware, and keep delivering through a fast iteration cycle.
  • Use AI coding tools well — Cursor, Claude Code and the like — to raise both delivery speed and code quality.
  • As the team and the business grow, this role has a clear path to leading people and a clear ladder above it — do this well and you move into technical decisions and team management step by step.

What we’re looking for

Baseline

  • Bachelor’s degree or above, and 3+ years of software development.
  • Solid front-end skills with a mainstream framework — React, React Native, Vue.
  • Solid back-end skills in at least one mainstream stack — Node.js, Python, Go — and able to stand a service up from zero on your own.
  • Database design and optimisation, ideally with both relational and non-relational experience, and the judgement to pick storage that fits the case.
  • Real hands-on time with a mainstream cloud: GCP, AWS or similar.
  • Fluent with AI coding tools — Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot — genuinely used in daily work, with a method of your own behind it.

What matters most

  • Ownership, and a user-first instinct — you push what is yours forward and you make it good.
  • Self-starting, curious, and able to execute: you find a way through a problem rather than waiting to be told.
  • At home in a small team on a fast cycle, and willing to step past the edges of the role.
  • Straightforward to work with, across product, design and hardware.

Also valuable

  • Startup or Silicon-Valley-style experience, and comfort with a ship-fast rhythm.
  • Big-company experience, with solid engineering discipline and systems design.
  • You have led a small team or worked as a technical lead.
  • Experience at a hardware company — consumer electronics, automotive, smart devices — and an understanding of hardware–software co-development.
  • Understanding or hands-on work with agents, LLM application engineering, or on-device AI.
  • Time living, studying or working abroad, and familiarity with North American users and market.

Terms

  • Compensation negotiable, set against your experience and fit.
  • We judge on your work, your code and what you can actually do — neither your degree nor a big-company background is a threshold requirement.
  • As an early team member, a long-term incentive arrangement on top of salary, discussed directly.
  • Happy to talk if you would consider working in the US; we have some resources behind visas and relocation.

When you write to us

  • A portfolio or GitHub link is not required, but it helps.
  • In your CV, note the complete projects you led, the stack you used, and the part you played.
  • If you have taken a front end, back end and database all the way to production, lead with that.
