Company Description
Vorteron is an early-stage transaction-control infrastructure venture focused on resilient digital-commerce systems.
Current work includes a stealth UK platform build connected to transaction reliability, incentive alignment, user confidence, and operational resilience. The public company narrative is intentionally broad while the product remains in early development.
This is a founder-led build, not a corporate engineering department or agency project.
Role Description
We are looking for a Founding Full-Stack Engineer to help build the core product system from the ground up.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can own meaningful parts of the stack: front end, back end, database, infrastructure, third-party integrations, internal tools, and product architecture.
The role requires strong backend judgement, product sense, clean architecture, scalable systems thinking, and the ability to work through ambiguous early-stage decisions without needing everything perfectly defined.
The position is London / UK focused, with a hybrid working model. Some remote work is fine, but regular UK access and close founder collaboration are important.
What You’ll Work On
* Build core user-facing and internal product systems from 0→1
* Design clean backend architecture, APIs, database models, and operational workflows
* Develop reliable front-end experiences that support real users and real transactions
* Integrate third-party services where needed
* Build admin and operational tools, not just customer-facing screens
* Help define what should be automated now and what should remain manual during the early stage
* Make practical trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
What We’re Looking For
* Strong full-stack engineering ability
* Strong backend ownership, not frontend-only experience
* Experience building real products from 0→1
* Good product judgement and ability to think beyond tickets
* Comfortable working closely with a founder in an early, ambiguous environment
* Able to build simple, reliable systems before over-engineering
* Comfortable with operational edge cases and non-glamorous product work
* UK-based or genuinely UK-accessible
Useful Experience
Experience with any of the following would be valuable:
* E-commerce, fintech, payments, identity, verification, workflow systems, SaaS platforms, operational tooling, or transaction-heavy products
* React / Next.js / TypeScript
* Node.js, Python, Go, or similar backend stacks
* PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
* Cloud deployment, CI/CD, observability, and production operations
Not a Fit
This is not a fit for:
* Agencies or outsourcing shops
* Frontend-only developers
* People looking only for a short freelance project
* Pure advisory or fractional CTO profiles
* Engineers who only want polished requirements and a large team around them
* Candidates requiring immediate visa sponsorship may not be suitable at this stage.
Compensation
Compensation will be discussed based on experience, seniority, availability, and role fit.
For the right founding profile, we are open to discussing a long-term incentive structure alongside salary.
