Software Engineer (General, Deployed & Lead)

We're scaling the engineering team at a fast-growing deep tech company

I'm partnered with a deep tech company building at the frontier of UK technology, working on genuinely hard problems with real-world impact (humanitarian, surveillance and defence). The team is growing fast, and I'm running engineering hiring across three tracks. If you're UK-based, want serious technical challenge, and like the idea of work that matters read on.

Backend, frontend or full stack. 4+ years' experience, with a couple of junior slots open (1+ year) for exceptional early-career engineers.

• Backend: C++, Java, Rust or Python

A field-facing engineering role for someone who likes getting out of the office. Weekly travel to UK and overseas sites, sometimes for extended stretches, working directly with the people using what we build.

• 3 to 4+ years, with networking and hardware exposure
• Excellent communication is essential, this role is as much about people as code

For an engineer moving toward technical leadership who wants to stay 100% hands-on. You'll own technical decisions for an area of the core enterprise product, splitting your time between writing code and mentoring/reviewing.

• Same core stack as the SWE track
• You've led small teams (2–3) or mentored junior engineers
• Interest in Dev Sec Ops  or database work is a plus
