[Hiring] Full Stack Software Engineer @Wayflyer

Role Description

When a founder applies for funding, one flow carries them from application to money in their account. The processes that assess their business in minutes and the product experience that makes it feel effortless are all part of the same system. Our full stack engineers are the ones who can follow a feature all the way through: from the data model, to the API, to the screen a founder trusts with their business.

What you'll actually do:

• Own features end-to-end: shape solutions with product and design, build across the API and the UI, ship to production to create outcomes, not just deliver tickets.
• Lean into your specialism - whether that's backend architecture, data modelling and performance, or frontend architecture, accessibility and user experience - and act as the go-to person for it on your team.
• Design and develop backend services using Python and Django, including the data models and RESTful APIs that power our financial products.
• Build high-quality, reusable frontend features using TypeScript and React.
• Write clean, testable code with strong test coverage across the stack (pytest on the backend; Storybook/Chromatic, Playwright and Vitest on the frontend).
• Participate in code reviews on both sides of the stack in order to share knowledge and improve the quality of our solutions.
• Monitor and maintain production systems, ensuring reliability, performance and security.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with genuine depth.
• Strong proficiency in Python and Django (or similar frameworks like FastAPI or Flask), SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL), and API design.
• Working proficiency in TypeScript and React with a real appetite to build product UI.
• Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and React, experience with modern frontend architectures, state management (e.g. TanStack Query) and design systems.
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (especially GitHub Actions) and a strong testing culture.
• Solid understanding of version control with Git.
• Understanding of security best practices and data protection.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication abilities and proven track record of successful team collaboration.
• Experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting.

Requirements

• Comfortable making and defending decisions about the experience you’re building, while remaining open to feedback and alternative approaches.
• Ability to balance technical excellence with business needs and help guide the team toward good solutions.
• Proactive in identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems.

Benefits

• 25 days off, plus public holidays.
• Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building.
• Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers.
• 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want.
