Born out of Peppy Health - a fast-growing, category-defining Series B startup - we spun out in May 2025 to tackle a far bigger opportunity.\nGlobal employers spend $3-5 trillion on benefits every year. It’s their second-largest cost after payroll - yet the entire category is still running on legacy systems and outdated assumptions. The space is primed for transformation: despite its scale, it’s been almost completely overlooked by AI-first startups. Incumbents - including one U.S. heavyweight with $2B+ in annual revenue - are constrained by archaic tech stacks and can’t move fast enough to innovate.\nAnd this isn’t just a massive market - it’s genuine “tech for good.” Smarter benefits administration, richer analytics, and clearer communication have the power to directly improve the everyday lives, wellbeing, and financial security of millions of employees worldwide.\nWe’re a sharp, high-velocity team with bold ambitions, obsessed with building category-defining technology and partnering with exceptional people who want their work to truly matter.\nWe closed significant seed rounds in October 2025 & May 2026 and are building from a position of strength with a long cash runway. We've already secured contracts with several of the world's largest enterprises and are now preparing for rapid expansion as we scale the platform globally.\nThe role:\nWe’re looking for a Software Engineer to bring their ambition, creativity, and technical prowess to join our high-powered team to build the technology that powers the world’s first lovable, AI-native benefits platform.\nYou’ll have real ownership, big targets, and a chance to help shape both the work you do and the company in general. We care less about traditional career paths and more about raw talent, bias for action, and how much fire you bring.\nWhat you’ll do:\nBuild AI-first features end-to-end: You’ll contribute to the design, deployment, and iteration of our next-generation benefits platform features that leverage personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods (e.g. agents/LLMs, recommender systems, reinforcement learning) to enhance user experience in a meaningful business domain.\n\nContribute across the tech stack: You’ll work in React (JavaScript/TypeScript) on the frontend and Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy) on the backend, shipping production-ready code and user-facing features in addition to innovative ML work.\n\nLive on the cutting edge of AI tooling: You’ll help push the boundary of what’s feasible with modern AI-powered software development tools (Cursor, Windsurf), keep up with the regular drumbeat of AI advances, and find new and exciting ways to build and explore new features faster.\n\nParticipate in a fast-paced iterative environment: Collaborate closely with design, product, and beyond to deliver and iterate on impressive features and prototypes at world-class pace.\n\nKeep code clean and well-tested: Maintain clean, efficient, and tested code with clear documentation for both peers and future reference.\n\nReview, refine, and grow: Actively participate in peer reviews, CI/CD processes, and a growth-minded engineering culture, where you continuously seek to level up your technical skills.\n\nBe a team player: Sometimes you’ll be iterating on ML pipelines; other times you’ll be refining a frontend component or fixing a tricky bug. We need someone who’s excited about the full product journey and moving together as one.\n\nSkills & experience:\nIndustry Experience (2+ years): Prior experience contributing to impactful products in fast-paced or startup environments, with an understanding of both scale and quality from larger tech organizations.\n\nHands-On Full Stack Skills: Proficiency in React/Typescript and/or Python (RESTful APIs, data pipelines), plus comfort with deploying and maintaining services on modern cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also fine).\n\nApplied AI/ML Skills: First-hand experience building and delivering AI/ML features to real users, and an insatiable curiosity to keep up with emerging technologies and trends\n\nTeam-Oriented Mindset: Strong communication skills for explaining complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences, and a passion for collaborating within cross-functional teams.\n\nPassion and Pride in Shipping: A do-whatever-it-takes attitude to deliver against important business goals that help the entire team win\n\nPragmatic Best Practices: An overarching desire to build efficient, scalable, and maintainable code, while learning the tradeoffs between technical debt and delivery speed\n\nWhat we look for:\nWe’re a great bunch but we have some \"Euph\" cultural non-negotiables. To do well here you will:\nThrive in fast-paced, feedback-rich environments\n\nTake your work seriously, but not yourself\n\nBe proactive, playful, and deeply curious\n\nWant to build something that matters\n\nBe willing to “do what it takes”\n\nWhat you’ll get:\nSalary between £100k - £130k dependent on experience\n\nRemote-first setup anywhere in the UK with optional shared work space pass and a hub in London\n\nApple devices and the best AI tooling\n\nPrivate healthcare via Vitality\n\n3% matched pension contribution\n\nMeaningful early-stage share opportunities\n\n25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays\n\nCareer rocket fuel - real growth, real ownership, real impact\n\nRegular R&D team off-sites - recent trips include Gdansk, Porto, Madrid, and Lisbon.\n\nReady to join?\nHit “apply” and tell us why.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5566,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Creative Agencies","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T09:28:57Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T01:38:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.129,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":239,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":174015,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/creative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/creative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T16:51:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24312,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176255},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176255"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcreative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcreative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcreative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/creative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcreative-purpose-software-engineer-applied-ai-2"}]}
