A career with autone is an opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest minds, disrupting the retail industry for a better future. We favour in-office work with most people coming in 3-4 days a week to our Vauxhall office. We’re obviously flexible and considerate about it, but if you prefer working from home on a full-time basis this might not be the best gig for you.
And now to you!
We’re looking for a passionate & optimistic
backend engineer to join our growing product team. As a backend engineer, you’ll work closely with our frontend and backend teams to design and maintain performant, scalable microservices as we grow our customer base.

The tech stack you’ll be working with
- Python

- We pride ourselves on being technologically agnostic, so while this is the current state of our tech-stack, we’re always open to new ideas and technologies that can improve the way we do things.
Why you’re going to love joining the team
- Ability to have a huge impact within an early stage company, working in a rapidly growing team
- Being hands on with an agile and modern-tech stack with freedom to employ new technologies to achieve goals
