Principal Software Engineer - Up to £270k - Series A Scale-Up - Python, AWS

I’m working on a really interesting platform scaling hire for a fast-growing Series A AI/fintech company in London.

They’ve built a product that processes millions of sensitive financial documents for lenders, brokers, insurers and fintechs across the US and UK. The platform is already mission-critical for customers — but rapid growth means the backend now needs to evolve from “built for speed” to “built for scale.”

This role will work closely with the CTO and Head of Engineering and take real ownership of the core backend systems.
