About us:

Autone is an AI-powered inventory optimisation platform helping retailers transform their business through data-driven decision-making. Founded by Adil Bouhdadi and Harry Glucksmann-Cheslaw, who previously built Alexander McQueen’s intelligence platform, Autone is today trusted by more than 50 global brands to reduce inventory waste, increase sales, and enhance efficiency.

A career with autone is an opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest minds, disrupting the retail industry for a better future. We favour in-office work with most people coming in 3-4 days a week to our Vauxhall office. We’re obviously flexible and considerate about it, but if you prefer working from home on a full-time basis this might not be the best gig for you.

And now to you!

We’re looking for a passionate & optimistic backend engineer to join our growing product team. As a backend engineer, you’ll work closely with our frontend and backend teams to design and maintain performant, scalable microservices as we grow our customer base.

Your responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the product team to understand requirements and provide technical solution
  • Build and maintain performant, scalable microservices handling large data loads
  • Build and maintain scripts to streamline business processes
  • Review code from colleagues
  • Improve development processes perhaps by introducing new tools or technologies

What we are looking for:

  • 5-8 years of experience as an engineer
  • A strong passion for product
  • Strong knowledge of Python and SQL (Postgres)
  • Experience building scalable and performant microservices
  • Experience working with large data loads
  • Experience supporting and working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment
  • Someone who enjoys working in-office
  • Knowledge of retail is a plus

The tech stack you’ll be working with

  • Python
  • SQL (Postgres)
  • Dagster
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • AWS Serverless (Lambda / Athena)
  • We pride ourselves on being technologically agnostic, so while this is the current state of our tech-stack, we’re always open to new ideas and technologies that can improve the way we do things.

Why you’re going to love joining the team

  • Ability to have a huge impact within an early stage company, working in a rapidly growing team
  • Being hands on with an agile and modern-tech stack with freedom to employ new technologies to achieve goals
  • Meritocratic driven career growth
  • Fortnightly team events - games nights, sporting events or even just a trip to our local pub
  • A competitive compensation package (including stock options)
