Software Engineer Fast-Shipping Builder

The platform is built on Django, utilizes Stripe for payments, and features AI-driven underwriting. Corgi is currently scaling operations into the UK and EU.

The Role
Corgi is seeking a Fast Engineer in London. This position is for builders who ship products, not architects who only plan. The ideal candidate is someone who has independently built and shipped projects, demonstrating the ability to take an idea from inception to live deployment.

What We Are Looking For
- Proven experience building and shipping projects independently, with real users, real traffic, or a high level of polish
- Ability to work quickly, measuring progress in hours and days rather than sprints and quarters
- Comfortable working across the technology stack and picking up whatever tools or skills the problem requires
- Strong opinions that are weakly held; able to push back on bad ideas and adapt when presented with better solutions
- Low ego and genuine hunger to build and improve, beyond just stating ambition on a resume

How We Work
- Prioritize making decisions today over waiting for perfect answers next week
- Ship new products and process changes regularly, not just quarterly
- Default to a ship-and-iterate approach rather than review-and-stall
- Maintain high intensity during product pushes, with no significant drop during quieter periods
- Operate with a public-first mindset; decisions are not made in private messages
- Encourage internal competition, with strong performers raising the standard for everyone

This is a build-focused role, not a position for those looking to coast.

Behaviors That Lead to Quick Removal
- Engaging in politicking, dodging blame, or gossip
- Treating direct feedback as a personal attack
- Adding unnecessary overhead instead of reducing it
- Failing to follow through quickly after committing to a deadline

How to Apply
Send links, not CVs, to [email protected].
- GitHub
- Personal website
- Live projects
- Anything you have built and shipped

If you cannot show shipped work, this is not the right position.

Location
London-based. On-site or hybrid options available.
