Role
Who you are
- The AI Edge: You are a power user of agentic AI. You know how to orchestrate edits across multiple files and identify where an LLM is hallucinating
- Pragmatic Architect: You have the seniority to know when to trust an agent and when to step in. You value clean code, type systems, and robust testing
- High Agency: You’re a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, autonomous environment
- Command of Python and its web development frameworks e.g. Flask, Django
- Experience with relational databases (MySQL preferred) and ORM frameworks (SQLAlchemy, Alembic)

- Experience building and maintaining frontend design systems
- Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

What the job involves

- Direct Agentic Workflows: Use agentic tools to navigate, plan, refactor, and ship features across our Python / React stack while drastically increasing your technical leverage
- Full-Stack Ownership: Architect and deploy end-to-end features, from backend logic and database schemas to modern frontend experiences
- Lead Engineering Evolution: Help define our "AI-native" development standards and mentor the team on high-velocity delivery

Our take
Back in 2018, Skin + Me's founders identified a huge problem in the world of skincare: people don’t just struggle with their skin – they struggle with how they’re supposed to deal with it. With no truly effective solutions available, the company set out to build a pioneering online dermatology service that provides personalised skincare.
Skin + Me takes customers through a simple online medical consultation and work with dermatologists to prescribe a treatment, personalised to the individual. Part of the company's unique selling point is that its made-to-order formulation arrives through a subscription box each month and comes in a ‘Daily Doser’ – a specially designed bottle that dispenses the exact amount of the product needed for daily application.
Skin + Me is supported by a team of dermatologists, pharmacists and direct-to-consumer experts, which allows it to deliver across the business - from skin science to building the technology platform behind it. The company's growth plans include continual development of its services while ensuring it sticks to its ethos: providing desired, effective, and personalised skincare.
