Senior Full-Stack Engineer – £80,000 + Share Scheme

Location: Edinburgh (Hybrid – 2 days per week in office)

Join a cutting-edge legal-tech company building AI-enhanced, cloud-based solutions that power litigation, arbitration, and case-management for top global law firms. Working at the intersection of software engineering, data, and applied AI , you’ll help develop a modern, scalable platform trusted by international clients.

This role is ideal for a strong engineer who wants to build complex systems, work with emerging AI technologies, and contribute to architectural decisions.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help drive the development of our data-driven, cloud-native digital platform. You’ll work across our stack—TypeScript, React, Python, and AI-powered backend services—to build reliable, scalable features that shape the future of legal technology.

You’ll work closely with product, design, and platform engineering teams, contributing to high-impact projects and system-level improvements.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and evolve distributed, API-first SaaS applications using TypeScript , React , and Python .
  • Design performant, reliable web applications and backend services that integrate with AI tools and models.
  • Collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end features, ensuring strong security, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Contribute to architectural discussions involving microservices, multi-tenant systems, and cloud deployments.
  • Implement engineering best practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and automation.
  • Work hands-on across the stack—no line management or people leadership responsibilities.

Tech Stack & Expertise

  • Strong TypeScript experience across frontend and backend.
  • Python for backend data services, automation, AI tooling, and integration with LLM-based features.
  • Experience with distributed systems or cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred).
  • Familiarity with React for front-end development.
  • Understanding of modern CI/CD, containerisation, and observability.
  • Exposure to AI/ML tooling, vector databases, embeddings, RAG workflows, or LLM integration is a plus.

About You

  • ~5+ years in software engineering with solid full-stack experience.
  • Comfortable owning technical work end-to-end without needing to manage others.
  • Strong understanding of system performance, scalability, and modern cloud practices.
  • Capable of making pragmatic engineering decisions and communicating trade-offs.
  • Passionate about building elegant, high-impact software and experimenting with new AI technologies.

Why Join

  • £80,000 salary + share scheme
  • Hybrid working (2 days/week in Edinburgh office)
  • Work hands-on with modern tools across TypeScript, Python, and applied AI.
  • High-impact role in a growing AI-driven SaaS platform.
  • Collaborative, engineering-focused culture with space to innovate.
