Role description
Who are we
MOHARA is a software product development company and venture studio built for the AI era. Over a decade of history, 200+ products shipped, 40+ startups backed and we have never been more energised than we are right now.
We are not a traditional agency. We are a globally distributed team across the UK, Thailand, Mexico, and South Africa, combining deep technical expertise with strong product thinking. We get closer to the build, not further away and we are looking for engineers who want to do the same.
Our values:
- **Craft **-- high standards and pride in our work
- **Clarity **-- simple, reliable ways of working
- Ownership -- vision, long-term thinking and accountability
- **Curiosity **-- asking questions, being brave and challenging assumptions
Culture:
Although we work in project teams, we operate as a single company. We actively collaborate, share knowledge, and draw on the collective experience of the wider team.
We’re looking for people who want more than just a role; people who want to contribute to how we build, not just what we build.
Our engineers:
- Are curious and proactive, with a strong point of view
- Communicate clearly and challenge constructively
- Show empathy for teammates, clients, and end users
- Take ownership, going beyond the brief to find better solutions
Our work with early-stage and scaling ventures means ambiguity is the norm. We value people who:
- Push their own boundaries and continuously grow
- Help shape client thinking, not just deliver against it
- Are honest about trade-offs, risks, and constraints
We treat every client’s product as if it were our own, recognising the investment, ambition, and trust behind it.
The Role: What we’re looking for
Our engineering team is at the core of what we build. As a full stack engineer at MOHARA, you’ll work in cross-functional teams to design, build, and scale products from early concept through to production.
You’ll be responsible for the full software development lifecycle: shaping ideas with clients, building robust systems, and continuously improving what we ship.
We’re looking for engineers who:
- Are comfortable building full-stack web and mobile applications end-to-end
- Care deeply about understanding users and product outcomes, not just writing code
- Think critically and challenge decisions when something doesn’t feel right
- Pay attention to detail, while keeping sight of the bigger picture
- Collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and design
- Have strong engineering fundamentals
Our environment requires balancing speed and quality, pragmatism and scalability knowing when to move fast and when to invest in stronger foundations.
AI Native Engineering
We believe AI is a fundamental accelerator for how modern software is built.
You’ll be expected to:
- Use AI tools as a core part of your development workflow
- Continuously refine how you work with AI to improve speed and quality
- Contribute to evolving our AI-native engineering practices across the team
Strong fundamentals still matter as AI amplifies good engineers, it doesn’t replace them.
Core Responsibilities
- Lead the design and delivery of scalable, production-grade systems
- Own significant parts of the product, from architecture through to deployment and iteration
- Work closely with clients and stakeholders to shape solutions, not just implement them
- Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and scalability
- Mentor and support other engineers through code reviews and technical guidance
- Identify and drive improvements in engineering practices, tooling, and workflows
- Champion and evolve AI-native development practices within your team
- Ensure high standards for code quality, testing, observability, and reliability
- Mentor, motivate and guide engineers, including code and architecture reviews
Requirements
- At least 5 years of professional experience as a Full Stack Software Engineer either in Typescript (ReactJS, NextJS, Express, React Native) or Python (FastAPI, Django) stacks
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines
- Strong experience in SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL)
- Solid testing framework experience (e.g. Jest, Vitest, Playwright)
- Proven experience working effectively within and even leading cross-functional, agile teams
- Mastery of Git for version control in collaborative environments.
- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills
- Examples of success in mentoring/coaching other engineers
AI Proficiency (Required)
- Expertise in using AI tools as part of daily development
- Actively using AI to:
- Generate and refine code
- Debug and investigate issues
- Improve documentation and tests
- Curious about improving how you work with AI, not just using it passively
Package
- Salary range: Depending on experience.
Please note that only candidates who meet the stipulated minimum requirements will be considered. If you have not been contacted within 30 days, kindly consider your application unsuccessful at this time.

About MOHARA
What We Do
The MOHARA startup studio helps founders reduce execution risk. Our company provides engineering and product development at a cost rate in return for equity in the business.
To deliver our product development process, we’re always on the lookout for talented people that have the experience and smarts to find a way to deliver, even when the way forward isn’t clear.
Why Work For Us
The diversity of products, tech and industries we work with and in, makes us the perfect place for ambitious developers to make meaningful contributions while shaping businesses and honing their skills.
As an international team of diverse and talented individuals, we work collaboratively with our UK, Mexican, South African and Thailand colleagues. We also provide opportunities to travel between our office locations and work abroad.
MOHARA’s offices are currently based in London, Bangkok, Cape Town and Guadalajara.
Our Culture
At MOHARA, we believe that balance is important. While we strive for technical excellence and encourage entrepreneurial thinking, we also know how to enjoy ourselves. Our Cape Town office frequently arranges informal and planned gatherings that provide the opportunity to strengthen team bonds and also to have fun.
Our team is curious, has a point of view and knows how to communicate it. They take on challenges and push their role, our limits and our clients to be braver, better and more human.
We have a counselling system in place whereby everyone at MOHARA is assigned a counsellor whose role is to “project manage your career”. Along with that they become a point of contact for any day to day issue or question that might arise. We believe that this system is vital in ensuring personal and career happiness and growth for everyone at MOHARA.
We take pride in our values by showing deep professional expertise, thinking beyond the immediate to drive sustainable growth, building reliable ways of working, and acting with bravery, curiosity, and empathy with each other and our partners.
Our Engineering Processes
Due to our global office structure, we work according to an agile engineering approach. This allows our teams to develop and iterate products efficiently. MOHARA’s engineering team works closely with their project managers and project owners to form a clear feedback loop.
MOHARA provides non-technical founders with a dynamic and skilled team who are able to join the project and make it their own. You will work alongside designers, project managers and product owners who help guide, shape and build the project.
Project teams are frequently made up of members from our different locations, meaning you have access to a large pool of skills and knowledge. We have built over one hundred startups and hold a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the space. MOHARA is a place that allows engineers to engage with elements of building startups that often are reserved for founding members of a new venture. It offers the excitement and learning opportunities of building startups with the added comfort of working in a larger company that provides structure, security, knowledge, practices and processes.
From a technical perspective we believe in building products, not simply technology. Each project we take on goes through a dedicated design and architecture phase where we tease out the best solution and design accordingly. We occasionally take on projects that have legacy codebases too. Due to this we have a variety of tech stacks in use at MOHARA, and are not scared to try out new tools. Engineers are able to either choose a preference of tech stack to work in, or be afforded the opportunity to branch out into new ones.
Our Hiring Process
We pride ourselves in our recruitment process being both transparent and practical. Our hiring process consists of a minimum of two interviews. The first interview provides a broad overview of MOHARA and the envisaged role, with the second interview having a stronger technical focus. Once completing the interview process, we will notify you of the status of your application within a reasonable period.
Pioneering Together.
