Software Developer

Location: Peterborough or Cambridge

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Competitive (dependent on experience)

An innovative and fast-scaling SaaS business is looking for a Forward-Thinking Developer to join at a pivotal stage of growth. This is not a traditional “hands-on keyboard all day” development role. Instead, you’ll operate at the intersection of architecture, AI, and product delivery - orchestrating AI tools to build and maintain a modern full-stack platform.

If you’re excited by AI-assisted engineering and see automation as the default rather than the exception, this role will feel genuinely different.

In addition to this, we're also interested in connecting with more junior/graduate developers with a can-do attitude and a genuine passion for development - so feel free to apply even if you haven't quite got the senior level of experience!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leveraging advanced LLMs (including Claude and similar tools) to generate high-quality production code.
• Auditing, refining, and debugging AI-generated outputs to ensure clean architecture, security, and scalability.
• Maintaining and extending a SaaS platform built with Python.
• Managing AWS infrastructure and supporting robust, reliable CI/CD pipelines.
• Handling ticket-based support - diagnosing issues, generating fixes via AI, and communicating directly with users.
• Overseeing database integrity, auditing AI-generated SQL queries, and ensuring data reliability.
• Contributing to architectural decisions and ensuring long-term maintainability as the platform scales.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Strong commercial experience with Python in a full-stack environment.
• Hands-on experience working within the AWS ecosystem.
• Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases.
• Experience using Git and working within well-defined CI/CD workflows.
• Confidence debugging complex issues across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• AI-Native Mentality: You instinctively look to automate before doing something manually. You’re excited by prompt engineering and AI orchestration.
• The Auditor Mindset: Since AI generates much of the code, you’re exceptional at spotting logic gaps, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities.
• Architectural Awareness: You think beyond features - considering scalability, maintainability, and long-term system health.
• Customer-Focused: Comfortable handling support tickets and translating technical fixes into clear, professional responses for users.
• Ownership-Driven: You thrive in environments where accountability and autonomy go hand in hand.

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of AI-assisted software development, shaping how modern engineering teams build and maintain products at scale.

If you’re excited by AI orchestration, full-stack oversight, and being part of a business at a genuine scaling point - apply now to learn more.
