Full-Stack Engineer

 

 

 

 

We're looking for an outstanding experienced engineer to push our platform to the next level of performance and reliability. You'll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product, and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you'll be a key driver of vital projects — operating with a high degree of autonomy, building and extending multiple foundational systems, and crafting performant, reliable, and maintainable solutions to challenging technical and product problems.

Build and extend foundational systems across the full stack — from backend services to frontend interfaces

Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from product and architectural decisions through to deployment, monitoring, and measuring user impact

Work autonomously to drive projects forward while collaborating closely with a lean, high-trust team on challenging problems

Tackle complex domains at massive scale using simple, well-crafted solutions

Take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements across the codebase and product

Experienced: you've seen a lot and built a lot compared to your peers — personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, with a deep understanding of the trade-offs involved in building reliable, performant software at speed

Impact-driven: you want your work to have a tangible outcome for people and aren't satisfied by products that don't see the light of day

A builder: you enjoy all aspects of building a complete product, are comfortable moving across the stack, and love problem-solving from first principles

Comfortable with uncertainty: happy to tackle problems without a predefined solution, and excited to make decisions autonomously as you go

A team player: you contribute your best work and actively help others do the same — you enjoy levelling up those around you

Strong full-stack engineering experience, with production-grade work across both backend and frontend

Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript; experience with React a plus

Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) and containerised deployment (Kubernetes)

Experience building at scale in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment

Exposure to machine learning workflows or ML infrastructure is a plus

We are technology agnostic at Encord and not looking for experience across all of these — as long as you're open to learning, please apply.
