Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Work as a generalist engineer across the full stack, delivering features from backend services through to the user interface.

- Offer input that influences the direction of the product.
- Take ownership of problems across the whole stack with minimal supervision.

- Demonstrated interest in AI and large language models through work or personal projects.
- A computer science degree or equivalent technical background with solid fundamentals.
- High agency and the ability to ramp up within a month with little hand-holding.
- Willingness to work in person five days a week; relocation is fine.
- Existing work authorization is required; transfers are accepted.
