We want to be the leading creator of delightful experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world-class technology.\nOur products, Street.co.uk and Spectre form a powerful duo, working harmoniously together to transform an agent’s job. From securing more leads and winning new instructions to streamlining business operations and growing market share, our products are supercharging 1,000s of agencies across the UK.\nHow we work in 2026\nEngineering at Street Group has changed. Most of us don't write code by hand day-to-day anymore - agents do; we direct. The bar has moved with it; planning and judgement matter more than typing speed: engineers run several workstreams in parallel, directing agent sessions while their own attention goes on design calls and the more complex problems. Real product and user understanding, once a \"nice to have,\" is now baseline.\nBeing genuinely tuned into AI tooling is core to the role here, not a side skill - and if you'd rather work the “old” way, that's fair - but we’re probably not the place for you.\nYou'll own features from start to finish: scoping the problem, directing the build through to deployment, and iterating based on what you learn. You'll also contribute to discovery and ideation, and work alongside designers and engineers to identify, prioritise, and solve problems efficiently. If you love autonomy, are naturally curious, and want to have a genuine impact within a growing company, we think you'd fit right in!\nHere’s what you can expect to be working on as a Senior Software Engineer (L5) at Street Group\nOwning your area of the codebase and its direction: scoping ambiguous problems end-to-end and building with distributed systems and scale in mind.\n\nDirecting parallel agent sessions to deliver work, while your own attention goes on the design decisions, reviews and complex problems where your judgement is required.\n\nPlaying an active role in the department's big technical moves: security work, architectural changes, and platform upgrades.\n\nBuilding and improving the team's AI infrastructure beyond your own work - shared plugin skills and the review and CI loops the whole team relies on.\n\nBringing product thinking into everything you build: understanding the user and commercial problem behind the brief, challenging requirements that don't serve the outcome, and being a regular technical voice in discovery alongside product and design.\n\nMentoring less experienced engineers and holding the team's output to a high standard by showing others how to reach it.\n\nWork closely with technical leaders and Product Designers to offer technical input; paying special attention to scale, maintainability and alignment.\n\nA bit about you\nYou have commercial experience with PHP and Laravel (or a similar MVC framework) - we're less fussed about deep Laravel internals than about solid MVC fundamentals and framework concepts.\n\nYou have experience working with Vue 3, React, Angular, or similar modern JS framework\n\nYou have production experience with AWS. ECS, Lambda, SQS, EventBridge and RDS are advantageous.\n\nYou work AI-natively as a default, using tools like Claude Code, plugins and skills fluently.\n\nYou design solutions built for scale with little to no support - you know intuitively where performance and load will bite, and just as importantly, when early optimisation isn't worth it.\n\nYou understand what you're building and why - product thinking is part of the job for you.\n\nYou're a great communicator with strong attention to detail, and you're comfortable influencing beyond your own team.\n\nWhy join Street Group?\nHybrid-working - you can work from home up to 4 days per week\nGuilt-Free R&R - £1000 towards a holiday after your first year with the team (we'll even cover the tax!)\nJoining a culture that supports your development and encourages growth\n£500 yearly L&D budget for your career development\nYour birthday on us - we pay, you stay away\n‘Give something back’ - 2 paid days volunteering on us\nEnhanced maternity, paternity & adoption pay\nMental health & well-being support via Health Assured\nRegular well-being initiatives\nFlexible working hours\nPublic transport season ticket loans\nPaid menopause leave\nHoliday buying scheme\nJoining a new team in an exciting business with huge ambition\nBe a part of something bigger - everyone in our team is passionate about improving the entire property industry! It's a huge goal, but it motivates us to do better every single day\nA chance to work on cutting-edge technology\nComfortable, relaxed office space - office dogs welcome!\nFully stocked fridge and beers (or an alternative) on us every Friday afternoon\nCompany and team off-sites, events and happy hours\nCycle to work scheme\nElectric car salary sacrifice scheme\nFeel good about sustainability - we're a climate-positive company!\nResearch has shown that women tend to rule themselves out of applying for jobs unless they meet 100% of the requirements. If you fall into that category and were about to rule yourself out based on the above criteria; please consider applying anyway. We'd love to see your application!\nSalary\n£55,000 - £75,000 dependent on experience. However, sometimes the perfect person is far more or less experienced than we anticipated. In these situations, planned ranges go out the window. If you think that might be the case, please apply and just let us know.\nWe care deeply about helping the tech industry become a more inclusive and diverse place and we work hard to lead by example. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a complementary team of employees and building an inclusive environment for all. Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK and be able to perform the work specified.\nInterview Process\n4 stages (incl. tech task) = An introductory call with one of our Talent team > Take-home tech task > Technical Interview > Final interview.\nWe want to make our interviews as inclusive as possible, so if you need any adjustments made, or if there's anything you think we should be aware of during the interview process, please do let us know.\nA note on using AI in your job application\nAs a fast-moving and rapidly evolving tech company, we embrace the advantages of AI and encourage its use throughout our application process. However, our goal is to get to know and hire the authentic you - your skills, experience, and values. We don’t want to hire an AI-generated version of you. We consider AI to be a valuable tool, not something that should overshadow you as an individual.\nHow we use AI in the hiring process\nCandidate experience is really important to us, and our Talent team use AI notetakers during interviews so they can focus purely on their conversation with you. All hiring decisions are made by humans - not AI.
