Pathfinder (0–2 years experience)

Rate: £12.20/hour

The Pathfinder is your early-career developer - full of energy, curiosity, and Google tabs. These are the people who say “I can fix it” before fully understanding the bug (and often still do).

When to hire a Pathfinder:

  • You value enthusiasm over years of experience.
  • You’re budget-conscious but refuse to compromise on ambition.
  • You like cultivating talent - Pathfinders grow rapidly with good mentorship.
  • You want fresh perspectives, unburdened by “we’ve always done it this way.”

💬 Tip: Many startups find success hiring a Builder + Pathfinder combo - one lays the bricks, the other brings the spark. Add an Architect, and you’ve basically formed The Avengers (minus the capes, unless you’re into that).
