About 4admin
4admin automates the worst admin in UK financial advice. Letters of Authority - the paperwork that lets an adviser act on a client's pension or investment - cost firms weeks of chasing providers, extracting data from PDFs, and rekeying it into CRMs. We automate the whole chain: LOA submission, provider chasing (email and AI phone calls), document extraction, and structured push into the CRMs advisers actually use.
We're a five-person team working with several of the UK's best-known wealth management and IFA firms. We're SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified - a small company with an enterprise-grade security posture, because our clients demand it.
The role
You'll work directly with the CTO (co-founder) shipping the core product. This is not a ticket-factory job: you'll scope problems, build them, ship them to demanding enterprise clients, and see the feedback land the same week.
What you'll actually do
- Build and improve features across the product: submission workflows, document extraction, chasing automation, CRM syncing, MCP servers and chatbots
- Build and maintain integrations with third party tools
- Work on and evaluate LLM-powered pipelines: structured extraction from provider documents, transcription-driven workflows, AI chasing
- Own work end-to-end - spec, build, ship, monitor, iterate
- Help maintain our reliability and security posture (we operate under SOC 2 / ISO 27001 with FCA-regulated clients)
The stack
- Python (Flask)
backend
- Azure
: App Service, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Azure OpenAI, Front Door + WAF
- Databricks
for analytics and reporting
- TypeScript/Javasript on the front end
- Claude Code/Codex
use for reviewing code changes and pull requests
What we're looking for
Must have
- Roughly 2-4 years shipping production software - or you're earlier in your career with strong evidence you can (side projects, open source, work you can walk us through)
- Strong Python
- Real cloud experience, Azure preferred (deep experience elsewhere plus appetite to go deep on Azure also works)
- AI-assisted development as your default way of working - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar agentic harnesses - and you can show us how you use them well
- Comfort with third-party API integrations: REST, OAuth, webhooks, and the reality of flaky vendor sandboxes
- Clear written communication - we're fully remote and async-heavy
Nice to have:
- Cosmos DB or other NoSQL in production
- LLM pipeline work: prompt design, structured outputs, evals
- Databricks / Spark
- Document processing (PDF extraction, OCR)
- Fintech, wealth management, or other regulated-industry exposure
How we work
- Fully remote, async-first, small and senior. You get real autonomy, direct access to the founders, and possibly direct exposure to clients.
- AI-native across the whole business - engineering, support, ops. We expect you to leverage AI aggressively and well, and we'll teach you how we do it.
- We ship fast to enterprise clients. Quality and pace - not one or the other.
Process
- Intro call (30 min)
- Technical session - pairing on a real-shaped problem, using your AI tooling of choice. We care as much about how you work as what you produce.
- Founder conversation
- Offer
This role is only open to candidates based in the UK, or EU. Please do not apply if you are from elsewhere.
