Job Description

This is a FoodLabs portfolio venture. Find out more about us and other opportunities in the portfolio here.

About the Venture

In today’s data-driven world, accuracy and reliability are everything. Yet with the explosion of data sources, rising complexity, and strict protection regulations, onboarding data is often slow, error-prone, and frustrating. That’s where we step in.

Our mission is to combine AI with secure, scalable data transformation – helping organisations turn every piece of data into value. By automating what used to be a manual process, we’re building the future of onboarding: faster, smarter, and universally understandable.

We’re backed by leading investors and are scaling quickly. If you’re ambitious and excited about shaping how AI transforms the way companies handle data, we’d love to connect.

About the Role

  • Lead in the code for our core product (Data Pipeline), while staying fluent across our other codebases (Importer, User Platform, Admin Panel). Write reference implementations and unblock complex work.
  • Shape the architecture of our scalable data pipeline product in close collaboration with senior engineers and the Tech Lead.
  • Define and enforce engineering standards (naming, testing, performance, security), short design docs, and ADRs (Architecture Decision Records).
  • Add technical requirements to user stories with the PM and ensure Definition of Ready/Done is consistently met.
  • Drive code quality through deep reviews, pair programming (regular pair starts), and frequent pull requests.
  • Own an engineering-led backlog for technical debt and continuous improvements (pipeline throughput, parsing performance, observability).
  • Establish compatibility and release practices for our JavaScript SDKs and public APIs: semantic versioning, deprecation policy, and contract tests.
  • Build a reproducible benchmark suite and reliability guardrails (feature flags, safe rollouts, rollback plans).
  • Mentor and coach engineers by introducing coding principles, best practices, and architectural thinking into daily work.
  • Drive product architecture, ensuring resilience, scalability, and robustness of our services.
