Role

Who you are

A key requirement is experience owning a large end-to-end web application from 0 to production at a meaningful scale
7+ years building production web applications, including 3+ years in an architect/tech-lead role
You have led at least one end-to-end web product from design to launch and growth, covering frontend, backend, storage, CI/CD, security, and monitoring
Strong coding skills in TypeScript and Node.js, plus modern SPA frameworks (preferably Angular)
Deep knowledge of cloud-native architecture on GCP or similar
Proven experience with high-scale data systems: document DBs, hot paths vs. cold paths, indexing, and cost/perf trade-offs
Solid grasp of reliability practices: tracing, metrics, structured logging, SLOs, error budgets
Security first mindset: authN/authZ, least privilege, data protection, multi-tenant design, auditability
Clear written and verbal communication with distributed and non-native English-speaking teams

Desirable

Firebase/Firestore at scale, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Redis
NX monorepo workflows, trunk-based development, feature flags
Image-heavy or real-time systems, computer-vision pipelines, or human-in-the-loop tools
Experience integrating external AI/ML services via well-designed boundaries
GDPR/PII handling, enterprise customer integrations

What the job involves

We are expanding into the UK market, and hiring a hands-on Principal Software Architect to join our London office in Camden Town (3 office days per week), and lead end-to-end architecture across our web stack
In this role, you’ll design and code critical paths, set technical direction, and help teams deliver secure, observable, high-performance products
Own system architecture for customer-facing apps and internal platforms end-to-end: frontend, backend, data, and cloud
Design clear interfaces and a mediated API layer between services and clients
Lead decisions on scalability, observability, reliability, cost, and security for high-volume, low-latency workloads
Write production code in TypeScript/Node and Angular, pairing with teams on complex features
Establish guardrails: coding standards, architecture principles, testing strategy, CI/CD, trunk-based development
Create simple, composable designs that favor KISS over unnecessary abstraction
Drive event-driven patterns where useful, including pub/sub and event sourcing
Champion great DX: reusable libraries, tooling, documentation, and fast feedback loops
Partner with product and research to ship measurable business impact, not just diagrams
Mentor engineers and unblock teams with pragmatic reviews and hands-on help

Our take

UVeye has developed contact-free vehicle inspection systems that leverage AI, ML, and computer vision to swiftly detect faults and abnormalities in vehicles. It’s a broadening out of UVeye’s original remit, which was inspection devices for military and police organizations - although sensitive security facilities like embassies and power plants still make up a critical part of UVeye’s business.

This pivot provided a real shot in the arm for UVeye, especially for its US expansion where it struck gold in the automotive sector. Healthy funding has now come from major players like Toyota Tsusho, Hyundai Motors and Volvo, and the latter has committed to a long-term contract to install the tech in all its North American dealerships.

UVeye is astutely doubling down on its penetration into the $100B+ US automotive industry through flirting with expansions into the insurance sector - it’s partnered, for example, with W.R. Berkley. Insurance tech in this region is throwing itself into data-led digital transformation, and a system that allows UVeye to explore this kind of partnership alongside lucrative manufacturing and defense contracts makes for a very promising position indeed.
