Engineered Arts is the leading manufacturer of full-size humanoid robots used for entertainment, education and communication. With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more.
Our Ameca robot is well known as 'the face of AI' and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures, our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows, as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research. Our robots are poised to break into the future mega-expansion service robot segment, with applications such as front of house, receptions, check-in desks, information points and PoS.
We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. Our internal motto is 'Be Wow' — everything we do is fun, entertaining or surprising to encounter.
You're a mid-to-senior full stack developer with a strong backend focus who thrives building reliable, scalable cloud software. You've shipped production features across APIs, data layers, and third-party integrations — and you know what it takes to build services that hold up when a provider is slow, a webhook arrives twice, or a customer's account state doesn't match what you expect. You bring strong Python skills, deep comfort with Django and GraphQL, and the debugging instincts to trace a problem across backend layers, services, and external platforms.
You care about architecture, but you're pragmatic — you understand that connecting a fleet platform to commerce, billing, and account systems demands clear contracts, idempotent workflows, and thoughtful failure modes, not just elegant abstractions. You can integrate quickly into a large, mature codebase, deliver value early, and keep quality high even as scope evolves. You're energised by ambiguity, patient with complexity, and motivated by software that lets customers provision, configure, and operate a fleet without the seams showing.
Strong fundamentals and the ability to ramp into an existing codebase matter more than having used every tool before.
