About Dax Group : Dax Group specializes in AI-driven platform development. We use Agentic AI to accelerate the creation of user interface components, business logic and the platform services that connect them, all delivered through Radax, our rapid development platform. It's an approach that lets us build market-leading applications at pace without compromising on quality, security or maintainability, and it means our engineers spend their time on interesting problems rather than boilerplate. We're a collaborative team with a culture of open communication, continuous improvement and shared delivery accountability, and we invest in developing our people from day one.

About the role : The ideal candidate will work with our established Radax rapid development toolkit to build market-leading applications at pace, and will contribute to the toolkit itself, extending its capabilities, automation features and productivity accelerators.

This is a genuine growth role. You'll take real ownership of your professional development, working with Agentic AI every day alongside experienced engineers who will support you as you find your feet.
