SOJO is a London-based fashion-tech platform revolutionising the clothing repairs and alterations industry. We partner with the world's leading fashion brands to help them reduce returns and drive circularity within their business models through an integrated and seamless alterations & repair service for both Ecommerce and Retail. We have an in-house repair centre in East London and our whole team is made up of driven, passionate and exceptional players.

About the role

  • This is a hands‑on, backend software engineer position reporting directly to our Head of Technology. You will be one of only two developers on the team, with real ownership over features, infrastructure, and decisions. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to grow with the company, contribute to the architecture, and take pride in building well‑crafted systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop, maintain, and scale RESTful APIs using FastAPI
  • Develop internal tools and dashboards to support our operations and tailoring teams
  • Design and manage MongoDB schemas and queries
  • Deploy, monitor, and scale services using AWS and GCP
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and CI/CD practices
  • Work with Git for version control and collaborative development
  • Contribute ideas to improve architecture, scalability, and performance

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of Python development experience in a professional setting
  • Solid experience with FastAPI (or similar Python frameworks)
  • Practical knowledge of MongoDB and working with document‑based data models
  • Experience deploying to AWS, GCP, or both
  • Proficient with Git and modern development workflows
  • Familiarity with working in Agile teams
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • A start‑up isn’t your typical 9‑5 – we’re looking for someone with a passion to work hard and over‑deliver

Nice to have

  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, TeamCity, Jenkins, etc)
  • Familiarity with performance monitoring and logging tools
  • Experience at a startup or a small, fast‑moving team

This is a hybrid role and will require physical attendance at our East London office. Please note that we are not able to offer visa sponsorship at this time.
