About the role

  • Backend leaning Fullstack Engineer responsible for building features across the product at Ben. Collaborating with PMs, designers, and engineers in a dynamic startup environment.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship backend-leaning fullstack features across the product (APIs, services, integrations, and some frontend too)
  • Work closely with product managers to understand context and shape solutions early
  • Collaborate with designers to create polished, intuitive experiences
  • Contribute to technical discovery, architecture thinking, and implementation planning
  • Ask product and UX questions when something doesn't quite add up
  • Design with scale, reliability, and enterprise readiness in mind (security, compliance, flexibility)
  • Own your work from idea to production and care about the impact once it’s live
  • Help improve developer experience, tooling, and internal standards
  • Ensure security best practices (OWASP, AWS Well-Architected, etc.) are embedded in how we ship software

Requirements

  • Have strong experience building modern web apps, especially backend systems
  • Are comfortable in Python and TypeScript (or excited to learn quickly)
  • Care about solving real user problems, not just closing tasks
  • Enjoy collaborating directly with PMs and designers without needing perfect specs
  • Like figuring out the *how* with autonomy and the *why* with curiosity
  • Know what it means to build for enterprise scale
  • Are pragmatic able to balance scrappy shipping with thoughtful engineering
  • Communicate clearly and enjoy working with friendly, ambitious people

Benefits

  • 💰 Competitive base salary + equity, so you own what you build
  • 💳 £100 monthly personal Ben Balance: for whatever works for you, whether that's Netflix, Spotify, or a really expensive cup of coffee! This allowance will increase by £50 for each year of service until you reach £250
  • 🍔 Weekly lunch provided in office so you can spend quality time with the team over some tasty food!
  • 🏖 28 days of holidays a year plus bank holidays, and an option to buy or sell 5 days per year. Also, your holiday entitlement will increase to 30 days at your 3rd year of service!
  • 🌴 Work-from-abroad scheme, so you can support your travels, enjoy an extended holiday, or visit loved ones.
  • 🍼 Enhanced parental leave and workplace nursery scheme to support with the cost of childcare in a nursery setting
  • ❤️ Comprehensive Private Medical Insurance
  • 💌 Funded Life Assurance cover with the option to voluntarily increase - this also includes an annual health check
