Architect the platform that runs home life. We're hiring a Lead Backend Engineer to design a global, agentic-first platform for moving and home life. Fast enough for live voice. Reliable enough for agents to act on their own. 4M+ home movers a year in the UK 28M UK households to run $1T+ global market for home services We are looking for a truly world-class engineer who has seen what great looks like and can take ownership to build the foundations for a global agentic marketplace. The opportunity: OpenClaw meets Amazon, for your home. Moving is the second most stressful thing most people do, and the admin never stops. Jay is the personal AI that takes it off your plate. It sets the household up: energy, broadband, water, council tax, insurance and so much more, then keeps it running. It tracks renewals, finds the next deal, and grows with the customer from first rental to first mortgage, with credit and higher-value financial products next. People get back their time, save money and their peace of mind. Underneath Jay is the platform you'd architect. One side plugs into the property industry: letting agents, CRMs like Alto, deposit schemes, partners like OpenRent and IKEA UK, and the systems that already know someone is moving. The other plugs into hundreds of suppliers across every category a home needs. In the middle, one entity model and one API turn a move into services set up, switched and paid for, Stripe-like. UK first, then the world. Nobody has rebuilt this industry for AI. The comparison sites and incumbents still run on forms and call queues. The backend is where that changes. What you'll own: three things, end to end. The architecture. Households, properties, partners, suppliers and how they relate. State machines every order runs on, clear enough for an agent to act on. Contracts between domains, data, queues, infrastructure. You design it and you build it. Speed and reliability, designed in. Live voice needs sub-second reads and a platform that doesn't need babysitting. Latency budgets per domain, observability shipped with the feature, rollback rehearsed every release, small changes to production daily. You'll move live systems onto a modern stack without dropping anything. Agents as first-class customers. Permissioned access for Jay and partner agents to read and act, with idempotency, audit trails and a hard line around money. Config over code, so commercial teams change pricing without a deploy. How you work becomes how engineering works. How we build: a lead owns the outcome. Whatever stands between us and it is yours to clear. How we get there is written down, twelve principles in three parts: Think: Customer obsessed AI native Thinks big Mission before self Build: Master of craft Bias for action Delivers outcomes Builds out loud Together: True ownership Trustworthy Seeks and gives feedback Inspiring to work with Who thrives here: you should apply if You're a systems thinker first. How the parts interact, where failure hides, what breaks at ten times the volume. You've architected real systems end to end, more than once, and run them in production at the scale of millions of users. You take the edges seriously. Retries, idempotency, backpressure, the message that arrives twice. You raise everyone around you. The standard goes up on work you never touch. You are great to work with and will make work more joyful. You're AI-native at the frontier, and you set the practice for the team, from planning to evals. You're strong in TypeScript, productive in whatever a problem needs within days, and happiest thinking out loud with the team. Bonus points You've led a team, or worked in UK property or utilities. You've moved house in the UK and it made you angry. We want the specific story. You already have ideas about how it should work. Bring them to the first call. The team and the stack: who you'd build with. We're a B Corp, so the values are real. We're FCA regulated, so doing things properly in a regulated industry is part of how we build. And we're obsessed with the customer, which is how we hold 4.9 on both Trustpilot and Google. The stack: TypeScript on the backend, Python and FastAPI for Jay, Next.js up front, AWS underneath, Claude Code woven through how we build. You won't have used all of it, and you'll change some of it. The details Location: London, a few days a week in the office Pay: Cash competitive, plus equity Hours: Work hard, play hard. Crunch time means late nights and weekends. In general, great work-life balance. Reports to: Head of AI and Engineering Right to work: UK right to work required

This position is being advertised by Alfa AI on behalf of Five Guys. Five Guys is hiring a Senior Restaurant Technology Architect to own the technical architecture, standards and operational resilience of restaurant technology across the UK, France, Spain and Germany. This is a senior hands-on technical role, not a people-management position, reporting to the IT Director and acting as the technical authority for restaurant technology across the estate. You will own the technical stability of systems including POS, payments, restaurant networks, kiosks, digital menu boards, order-ready boards, CCTV, integrations and other in-store infrastructure. You will support major incidents, identify root causes behind outages, drive permanent fixes, review supplier configurations and technical designs, define standards for new openings and technology rollouts, and ensure systems are properly documented and supportable before deployment. Experience with NCR Aloha or a comparable restaurant/retail POS platform is highly desirable. We are looking for someone with strong hands-on experience in restaurant, retail or hospitality technology, ideally supporting large multi-site environments where uptime is commercially critical. You must be able to troubleshoot complex technical dependencies, challenge suppliers and weak technical designs, create clear architecture/configuration/support documentation, and make decisions quickly during live operational issues. Multi-country experience and French, Spanish or German language skills are useful but not essential.
