Staff Engineer - Pricing

Overview

Job Description

Responsibilities

• - Build & iteration of the Pricing API, so it is fast, correct and ready to be opened up to third parties.
• - Support with untangling: run the extraction of pricing logic into its own service as a programme, agreeing clean boundaries with neighbouring teams.
• - Own reliability: design the systems that detect pricing errors, stop bad quotes going out and explain every price we can't give.
• - Raise the bar: lift the standard of everyone working on pricing through design reviews, engineering standards, pairing and multi-agent workflows.
• - Close the loop: be the go-to engineer when live pricing incidents escalate, and turn what you learn into structural fixes on the roadmap.

Required Skills

• - Deep production backend Python: you have designed and owned APIs at scale, and been the person others escalate to when they broke.
• - Strong FastAPI and SQL, and experience in data and analytics-heavy systems where the correctness of numbers costs money.
• - You set technical direction across teams you don't manage, and can negotiate service boundaries with neighbouring teams.
• - You are agent-native: you don't just use Claude or similar daily, you design multi-agent workflows that raise a whole team's throughput.
• - Product engineering judgement: you know who reads a price and why, and you trade off speed, accuracy and explainability deliberately.

Benefits

• - Competitive salary - our current band for this role is [salary band] or equivalent in local currency.
• - Stock options so everyone has ownership in our mission.
• - 25 days holiday plus public holidays.
• - Swap public holidays for the ones that matter most to you, and enjoy your birthday off.
• - Remote first and flexible working, with clear core hours and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.
• - Up to GBP1,200 or EUR1,400 per year for your remote setup.
• - Up to GBP150 or EUR170 per month for wellbeing.
