Senior Software Engineer

About 10x Labs

We wrap our arms around businesses and help them scale. We work with enterprises and fast-growing companies to implement AI strategy, workflow automation, and build custom software. Not as a vendor, but as a genuine partner with skin in the game.

We move at a pace most businesses have never experienced, and we hold ourselves to a standard most agencies can't match. We don't pitch solutions. We sit with our clients, understand where they're stuck, and build the systems that get them unstuck. Quickly and properly.

The work is the kind engineers actually want: agent-first platforms running national field operations at around 90% automation, electric vehicle operating systems for everything from cars to trucks and buses, AI making real operational decisions in regulated industries, and rescues of platforms other teams couldn't deliver. And for the right businesses we go further. We unlock them: we build new products we come up with together, and we bring in capital through equity or debt to fund the growth those initiatives create.

Our founders have built energy flex markets, led transactions of billion-dollar businesses, and built software agencies that consistently deliver engineers in the top 3% globally. That pedigree shapes how we think, how we work, and what we expect from the people who join us.

The role

You'll be a core technical partner in our product trios, working with Product Managers and subject matter experts to bridge the gap between business needs and technical reality. This is hands-on: you'll write high-quality code and design scalable systems, but you'll also lead technical discovery, turn business goals into buildable requirements, and talk directly with our clients.

The systems you'll work on aren't CRUD apps. Think automation platforms coordinating field operations nationally, AI agents handling real operational workflows end to end, and electric vehicle systems where reliability isn't optional. If you've spent the last few years shipping tickets someone else scoped and wondering where the interesting problems went, they're here.

What you will do

• Work as an integrated member of a product trio alongside Product Managers and SMEs, contributing to discovery, feasibility and roadmap
• Lead technical discussions in client workshops and discovery sessions, articulating complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Design and implement scalable systems from first principles. Write production-quality code for critical features and complex integrations
• Champion code quality through thorough reviews and team standards
• Communicate progress, blockers and technical risks clearly to your trio and leadership
• Advocate for and refine our engineering standards, including effective use of AI-assisted development tools

What you bring — Required

• A strong track record shipping production systems as a senior engineer, from design through to running in production
• Depth in a modern backend language plus solid full-stack capability
• Experience leading technical discovery: assessing feasibility, de-risking early, turning business goals into buildable requirements
• Confidence working directly with clients and non-technical stakeholders
• Engineering rigour paired with comfort in fast, iterative product delivery

Strongly preferred

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development workflows and building AI-powered features
• Experience with complex integrations: ERPs, billing systems, third-party APIs at production quality
• Experience in product trio / dual-track discovery ways of working
• Flex market and energy systems experience is always a big bonus

Nice to have

• Exposure to energy, field services or other operationally intense domains
• Experience in agency or multi-client environments

Why this role

You'll reduce technical risk where it matters, early, and deliver complex features with real technical integrity. You'll build trust with clients through straight communication and consistent delivery, working in a tight product trio rather than a ticket factory. You'll report directly to the CTO and work closely with the Head of Product, the COO, and the broader engineering and design team. We don't hire people to keep seats warm. We hire people we'd trust with a client's core operations, and we back them accordingly.

What you get

• A competitive package that reflects the calibre we hire at
• Access to every AI tool on the market (as long as it has passed security) with team support and budget to get you set up and moving fast
• Hard, interesting problems: real AI in production, real scale, real consequences. Not demos and decks
• Direct access to some of the most experienced operators in the country
• A team that will stretch you, back you, and make you better

The interview process

Our process is straightforward and moves fast: a short video interview (we know engineers hate this — the only people who don't hate it are in sales — but it's an important and necessary step, and if you can't push outside your comfort zone, you're not going to fit in here), then a technical deep-dive on real problems, not puzzles, then a final conversation with the founders. We move quickly for the right person.
