Job Title: Software Engineer Location: Birmingham / Hybrid Salary: £32,000 - £45,000 per annum Position: Permanent, full-time About The Company: The Company is a long-established web and app development agency based in the Jewellery Quarter, specialising in AI integration, SaaS products, apps and portals. Job Role: This is a hands-on, mid-level Software Engineer role with responsibility for delivering complete features and projects. You will work independently with light oversight from a Lead Engineer, delivering projects with a moderate level of technical risk or substantial parts of larger projects. You will own your work from the initial ticket through to a working, supportable feature in production. You will make technical decisions within your area of responsibility and judge when to seek a second opinion. You will raise higher-risk and architecture-level decisions with your lead early, bringing options and a recommendation. Your lead will support you with project-level technical risk. The role has no people-management responsibilities. You are encouraged to support junior engineers informally, while remaining focused on the quality, reliability and clarity of your own work. Your responsibilities Deliver features that are working, tested, documented and in use. Check for defects or unexpected behaviour after delivery and follow through without needing reminders. Make technical decisions that balance maintainability, security, performance and the client's needs. Understand which decisions you can make, which need your lead's input and which require further escalation. Identify risks and trade-offs early. Explain the current position, the impact on the project, what is already handled and what remains unresolved. Bring a proposed course of action so your lead can confirm, adjust or step in, and raise problems while there is still time to act. Build full-stack web and mobile applications, typically involving React Native, SQL-backed APIs and AWS hosting. Be comfortable working in the framework or language each project requires. Write clean, tested, well-structured code that follows team standards. Work collaboratively through Git, pull requests and CI/CD pipelines. Use AI-assisted tools to improve speed and quality. Review and validate their output, taking responsibility for the software you deliver. Keep your lead and project manager informed about progress, implications, resolved and outstanding issues, and any support or decisions you need. Explain technical choices clearly to project managers and, where needed, clients. Document decisions, context and operational knowledge so another engineer can pick up your work without relying on your memory. Identify recurring problems and suggest changes that prevent them. Put practical improvements in place within your area, such as checklists, clearer standards, tests, automation or better ticket templates. Contribute to better tickets, estimates, refinement and delivery flow. Apply lessons from retrospectives to your work. Keep clear ownership, a dated next step, any required decision or escalation, and a backup plan for the work you own. Resolve issues affecting your delivery or make clear who needs to take responsibility. Explain the trade-offs you chose as well as the constraints you faced when reporting on your work. Experience and capabilities You will need: Commercial programming experience consistent with a mid-level engineer, with evidence of delivering features or parts of projects from start to finish. Solid capability in an object-oriented back-end language, with PHP/Laravel strongly preferred, and a modern front-end framework such as React or React Native. TypeScript is desirable. Good working knowledge of SQL and relational database design, and an understanding of MVC and RESTful API principles. Familiarity with Git-based team workflows, code review, automated testing and CI/CD. The ability to solve complex problems and become effective quickly with unfamiliar technologies. Clear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical colleagues. Evidence of working independently, making informed decisions within your responsibilities, and knowing when and how to seek support. A practical, curious approach to new tools and AI-assisted development, with a willingness to experiment and assess their value through evidence and measurable results. Additional Information: We value a diverse workforce and believe that people from different backgrounds can bring fresh ideas, thinking and approaches to the way we work. We welcome everyone from everywhere to come and join our team. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. The job title and salary offered will be dependent on the candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. Please click APPLY to submit your CV and Cover Letter for this role. Candidates with experience of the following may also be suitable to apply for this role; Software Engineer, Software Developer, Full Stack Developer, Web Developer, App Developer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, Junior Software Engineer, Junior Developer, Graduate Developer, Trainee Developer, SaaS Developer, Portal Developer, Mobile App Developer, AI-Assisted Development, AI Pair Programming, Agentic Coding, AI Coding Agents, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT

We take pride in a team culture that values high control, continuous learning, and delivering work we can stand behind. All roles are 'hybrid', meaning we expect our teams to be able to come into the office in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham while working effectively from home. Job Role: We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer with a strong software portfolio who wants to build web and mobile applications and develop their engineering skills.

This role has no people-management responsibilities. Your responsibilities will include: Building features within the agreed technical approach and checking that your changes work before submitting them for review. Asking for guidance early when you are unsure, bringing your findings and possible approaches to the discussion. Raising problems promptly, explaining what is affected and either resolving them or making clear who needs to help. Applying code-review feedback and understanding the reasoning behind it. Learning our technologies, tools, delivery practices and clients' businesses, including unfamiliar technologies when projects require them. Keeping your lead and project manager informed about completed work, progress, blockers and support you need. Keeping ticket statuses, estimates, time records and pull requests accurate and up to date. Writing clear tickets, commit messages and pull request descriptions that explain what changed and why. Recording technical decisions, setup instructions and operational details so others can pick up your work. Explaining trade-offs and areas of uncertainty when handing work over for review. Working with designers, project managers and other engineers, and helping colleagues where you can. Taking part in scrums, masterclasses and retrospectives, applying what you learn and making practical improvements such as clearer notes, checklists or tests. Your success will depend on the quality and reliability of your work, clear communication and how well you apply what you learn. We expect working, tested features, early reporting of problems and clear handovers. Skills and experience: A strong software portfolio showing substantial project work and your ability to build features or complete projects from start to finish. Commercial programming experience is advantageous. Solid capability with an object-oriented back-end language, preferably PHP/Laravel, and a modern front-end framework such as React or React Native. TypeScript is desirable. Good working knowledge of SQL and relational database design, with an understanding of MVC and RESTful API principles.
