Are you a Senior Software Engineer who wants to build technology that makes a difference?

We are working with a software engineering organisation building modern applications that rely on strong fundamentals and thoughtful design. They work across multiple platforms and languages and need someone who enjoys solving non trivial engineering problems with a clear head and methodical approach. The work covers a mix of new feature development, improvements to existing systems and contributing to shared components used across several teams.

• Building and refining product features with a focus on clarity, usability and reliable performance
• Investigating complex issues, including concurrency challenges and memory related faults
• Writing maintainable software across multiple environments and languages
• Designing and implementing core components that support broader product functionality
• Developing libraries and APIs used across different engineering groups
• Creating and maintaining test plans for unit integration, automated and performance testing
• Working in an Agile environment alongside experienced engineers

• Strong experience with Python and Rust with solid software engineering fundamentals
• Comfortable working across Linux, Windows and cloud platforms
• Experience writing clean, reliable code and designing maintainable systems
• Familiarity with containers, orchestration tooling and modern deployment workflows
• Confident using Git based tooling and collaborative engineering processes
• Able to pick up new technologies quickly and approach problems logically
• Experience working across both new product development and existing systems

We’re looking for someone who thinks clearly under pressure and understands how to build systems that behave consistently. Someone who can challenge ideas constructively, collaborate well and keep things moving when the pace picks up. This is ideal for an engineer who wants variety, technical depth and problems worth solving, while enjoying setting the bar for more junior team members.

The successful candidate will bring a proven track record in software development and be confident working end‑to‑end on complex systems. It is an excellent move for someone who wants to deepen their experience in a forward thinking team where delivery pace and engineering quality matter.

• Flexible hybrid working environment with strong trust and autonomy
• Private healthcare
• Inclusive culture and genuinely collaborative engineering environment
• Chance to work on some of the most challenging technical problems in the UK
