About the Role

This is a hands-on development role building out our Commercial Operating Platform. We work in an AI-first environment — code is written largely with the assistance of Claude, though we're happy for you to use other tools if you prefer — primarily in TypeScript and PLpgSQL, with a smaller amount of JavaScript.

There's substantial development ahead. The focus is on designing and building new workflows and features across the business, alongside API integration across our commercial systems, front-end and back-end development, and building securely from the outset.

You'll sit within the IT team, but your role is development, not end-user support. You'll use AI tools to build and ship at speed, owning the quality, accuracy and security of everything that reaches production.

What You'll Do

Design and build new workflows and features in TypeScript for different areas of the business, taking them from a broadly defined goal through to working, deployed software

Develop, test and ship features in TypeScript and PLpgSQL (and some JavaScript), working within our CI/CD pipelines

Use AI development tools (e.g. Claude) to accelerate delivery, reviewing and verifying all AI-generated output before it's merged or deployed, and flagging risks or blockers early

Build and maintain integrations between our commercial systems (e.g. Dynamics ERP, Shopify, Supabase/Postgres, Microsoft 365) via APIs and data ingestion

Work across both front-end and back-end, including how new features are designed and fit together

Keep the codebase clean and well-structured as it grows — writing documentation alongside code, improving maintainability and reducing technical debt

Identify and implement security improvements, applying secure development practices around authentication, authorisation, access control and data handling

Write clear commit messages and tests, take part in code review, and support data quality, auditability and approval workflows

Skills & Experience

Working knowledge of TypeScript and JavaScript, with willingness to build strength in PLpgSQL / PostgreSQL

Understanding of relational databases and SQL

Familiarity with Git and CI/CD pipelines

Demonstrable, hands-on use of AI coding tools, with good judgement on when to trust, test or reject their output

Understanding of API concepts and integrating systems via APIs

A security-conscious mindset and awareness of common web application risks

Strong attention to detail and genuine commitment to quality and accuracy

Clear written communication and effectiveness in a small, fast-moving team

Comfortable taking a broadly defined goal and seeing it through to production with limited supervision — while knowing when to ask or escalate

Roughly 1–3 years' experience, or strong demonstrable project ownership at a comparable level

Curious, fast-learning, and energised by a changing, AI-first environment

Takes ownership — moves quickly, never at the expense of correctness or security

Collaborative, open to feedback, and willing to give it

We're looking for someone who treats AI tools as a serious part of the craft, not a shortcut — someone who takes pride in shipping work that's fast and right. If that's you, get in touch
