Software Developer - London, Hybrid
A growing professional services business in London is looking for a talented Software Developer to join their Technology and Data team. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role for someone who takes genuine satisfaction in building software that people actually use, production systems that make a real difference to how a business operates, not prototypes that never see the light of day.
You'll work closely with a small, ambitious team to design, build, and ship the internal tools, automations, and data-driven systems that keep the business running. The feedback loop between what you build and the impact it has is short, your work will be visible, your contributions will matter, and you'll have a direct hand in shaping how the business scales.
What Is In It for you:
- Salary up to £60,000
- Hybrid working in central London - 2-3 days
- Company benefits
- Career progression
What You'll Be Doing:
- Monitoring, debugging, and improving live systems, taking ownership of what you ship, not just handing it off
- Designing, building, and deploying full-stack web applications and internal tooling used daily across the business
- Writing clean, well-structured Python for APIs, backend services, and data pipelines
- Deploying and managing applications in cloud environments, keeping production systems reliable and performant
- Using containerisation tools to package and run services consistently across environments
- Collaborating with the wider team to build the data infrastructure that supports reporting and analysis
- Contributing to technical design discussions and code reviews as the team and platform continue to grow
What We're Looking For:
- At least one to two years of commercial software development experience
- Strong Python skills, you should be comfortable writing scripts, services, and APIs
- A working knowledge of cloud deployment
- Solid experience with both front-end and back-end development
- A problem-solving mindset
- Exposure to containerisation tools such as Docker is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker
- Someone who thrives in a small, fast-moving team and communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues
Why It's Worth Your Attention:
In many organisations, a developer at this stage of their career ends up siloed, one layer of the stack, one corner of the product, limited visibility of the bigger picture. This role is the opposite of that. You'll gain genuinely broad experience across:
- Cloud infrastructure and deployment
- Data tooling, pipelines, and reporting systems
- Full-stack product development
- Workflow automation and internal platform building
The team is small enough that your voice carries real weight, and the business is growing quickly enough that the work will keep evolving. There's no bureaucratic distance between you and the people using what you build, and that makes all the difference.
