About The Role

We are seeking a high-calibre Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our team at a scaling mental-health technology company.

• Proven experience with Python web frameworks such as Flask.
• Solid experience with modern TypeScript frameworks like Vue or React, including proficiency in state management and component lifecycle.
• Demonstrable ability to implement and integrate with RESTful APIs and service-orientated architectures.
• Strong understanding of database performance and management for relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) databases.
• Practical expertise with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and best practices for automated testing (e.g. PyTest, Jest, Vitest).

Nice To Have

• Experience with optimisation and scaling techniques for high-traffic or highly regulated applications.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, particularly with managed database services and serverless functions.
