Hybrid working model

Competitive salary, benefits, and everyday discounts

In-house Talent Development team to prioritise personal and career growth

Cross-functional collaboration

Hands-on learning opportunities and workshops for continuous upskilling

Design, develop, ship, and maintain harness and platform features: plugins, skills, MCP integrations, internal AI-enabled CLIs, and scaffolding, with guidance from more experienced engineers, ensuring everything you build is robust, tested, and observable.

Help improve hipages’ development experience across the SDLC, through better tooling, higher test coverage and cleaner code and data structures.

Wire up agent tooling: tool-use, scoped permissions, error handling and automated verification via Playwright and Maestro and instrument behaviour in Honeycomb.

Troubleshoot complex AI tooling issues across both platform and product.

Work with version control and CI/CD, safely rolling changes forward and back, and contribute to production infrastructure on AWS/Kubernetes with Terraform.

Validate AI outputs for correctness and appropriateness before adoption, and share useful AI use cases and learnings with your peers.

We’re proud to be endorsed by WORK180 for supporting women’s careers and we value diversity across culture, age, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Research shows that men often apply when they meet just 60% of the criteria, while women and minority groups wait until they tick every box. If you think you’d be a great fit - even if you don’t meet every requirement- we’d love to hear from you.

We’re also a Circle Back Initiative Employer , which means we commit to responding to every applicant.
