Software Engineer

Backend & Full-Stack Engineers (Laravel / Next.js)

🚨 Ambitious, high-energy candidates only 🚨

Location: UK-based, ideally near Exeter (Hybrid/Remote with occasional on-site collaboration)

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 p.a. (with increases as revenue grows) + generous share options

Type: Full-time

Who We’re Looking For

We don’t want 9–5ers. We want builders . People who code because they can’t not code. People who get a kick out of taking an idea from scratch to something real and used. People who’ve pulled all-nighters because they were too deep into solving a problem to stop.

You’ll thrive here if you’re:

• Curious. You go down rabbit holes. You can’t leave a problem unsolved.
• Ambitious. You want to build something that matters — and get rewarded big when it works.
• Hard-working. You know success doesn’t come without putting in the hours and the grit.
• Ownership-driven. You see problems and fix them. You don’t wait for permission.

If you’re just looking for a comfy salary, this isn’t for you. We’re looking for missionaries, not mercenaries.

About JammJar

JammJar is an AI-powered B2B SaaS platform transforming the UK mortgage advisory market. Brokers waste 15–20 hours a week on admin — we’re killing that dead with automation. That means brokers can close more deals, serve more clients, and grow faster.

We’ve got early traction (~£100k ARR → £1m+ ARR in sight), strong backing from Haatch and The FSE Group, and a small, senior team who’ve been around the block.

Stack: Laravel, AWS, Next.js, OpenAI, Claude .

The Roles

We’re hiring two engineers to join us:

• Jumping on AWS infra tasks (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, CI/CD).
• Shipping fast. Shipping well. Shipping often.

Why Join Us

• Ownership from day one. Your code, your impact, your wins.
• £60–70k salary with rises as we scale.

• A team that values curiosity x ambition x ownership above all else.
• Be part of the core team that takes us from scrappy startup to market leader.

👉 If you’re the kind of engineer who codes at 3am because you can’t sleep until you’ve cracked it — we want you.
