About the role

As a Software Engineer, you’ll be a trusted, high-impact individual contributor - delivering high-quality software, shaping product direction, and helping others level up. You’ll work across the stack, ship meaningful features, and contribute to how we build things at Abatable.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of projects from concept to deployment – delivering robust, maintainable solutions that solve real user problems.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data to shape what we build and why.
• Write clean, thoughtful code, with a strong grasp of architecture, performance, and coding best practices.
• Contribute to improving engineering processes and codebase health.
• Provide guidance and feedback to peers, helping raise the bar for the whole team.
• Balance speed and quality, making pragmatic trade-offs and learning from each release.
• Stay curious – explore new tools, frameworks, and approaches to improve how we work.

We’re happy to work with people with experience in any of the tools and technologies in our , but you should be proficient working in a full-stack TypeScript environment.

Who we're looking for

• A product-minded engineer: You think beyond tickets – understanding the user, the problem, and the ‘why’ behind what you’re building.
• Full-stack experience: You’ve built and shipped production systems across the stack (React, TypeScript, APIs, databases).
• Ownership mindset: You’re proactive, accountable, and take pride in seeing things through to impact.
• Strong problem solver: You debug methodically, think in systems, and design solutions that last.
• Collaborative communicator: You work well across disciplines, explain complex ideas clearly, and give and receive feedback with humility.
• Continuous learner: You enjoy exploring new tech, reflecting on mistakes, and helping others grow.
• 5+ years experience building production software with measurable user or business impact.

This role isn't right if you:

• Prefer fully remote work - We believe in the power of in-person collaboration. You'll be in our London office at least twice weekly.
• Want to stay in your lane - We're a small, fast-moving team where everyone's a generalist. You'll work across the full stack, dive into new domains, and thrive in ambiguous, rapidly evolving situations where we're building and learning simultaneously.
• Prefer slow, heavily process-driven environments - We move fast and prioritise shipping value to users quickly. You'll need to be comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, iterating based on user feedback, and balancing speed with quality in a dynamic startup environment.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation: Choose how to structure your package between salary and generous share options
• Health & wellbeing: Health and dental insurance, including mental health cover to holistically support your wellbeing
• Hybrid working: Minimum of 2 days in our London office (Tuesdays & Thursdays), additional collaboration in person when needed
• Time off: 25 days holiday (excl. bank holidays) + one extra day off for your birthday
• Enhanced sick leave
• Family-first policy: Enhanced Family leave & Workplace Nursery Scheme
• Growth investment: £500 Learning and Development budget per year
• Tax-efficient pension enrolment
• Employee referral bonus scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Tech setup: We use Apple. Displays, mouse/trackpad and keyboards are standard issue.
