Are you excited about the chance to shape the technical direction of a brand-new product? We’re in the early, pre-seed days, working on a greenfield project – meaning you’ll have a unique opportunity to influence critical technical decisions from the ground up. Right now, our focus is on mobile, but we’re planning to expand into a web interface down the line. This role goes beyond checking boxes; if you're the type who enjoys figuring things out in unknown territory and helping set the course, we’d love to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re seeking a Solutions Architect who will be both hands-on in server development and actively involved in defining our backend strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with our app-focused team to create a robust, scalable server architecture that can support our growth. Strong communication and teamwork are essential – we thrive on open dialogue and a collaborative spirit, so we need someone who’s eager to jump in, ask questions, and drive solutions.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who:

• Thrives in a startup environment, where flexibility and adaptability are key
• Loves a challenge and takes a self-starter approach to their work
• Has solid leadership qualities and a knack for prioritizing effectively
• Communicates clearly and effectively, especially when remote

Technical Direction

● Database expertise (SQL, NoSQL, JSON, database architecture, image storage, and optimization for image handling)

● Application security (OWASP standards, protocols like HTTPS/TLS)

● Familiarity or experience with image recognition (IR)

Other Key Details:

● Location: Remote-first, with a preference for UK-based candidates

● Language: Fluent English

● Work Schedule: Hours will vary, with an estimated average of 24 hours per week depending on project needs. We work in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines.
