About the role
iO Associates is seeking a Backend Software Engineer for a London hybrid role. You will design and build distributed systems in a Rust stack with Python at API boundaries, targeting scalable data infrastructure and robust API design. You'll join a small, autonomous team, owning architectural decisions and shaping the product, with emphasis on reliability, performance, and cross-functional collaboration.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
