We work with a range of UK employers actively hiring across these roles.

Job Description:

UK-Based (On-Site, Hybrid or Remote)

About the Roles We're looking for experienced Software Engineers and Developers at all levels—from Software Engineer and Software Developer through to Senior, Lead, Principal and Full Stack positions—for upcoming roles across backend, frontend, full-stack, platform and product engineering. These are hands-on roles where you'll design, build and ship production software that real users depend on.

You'll work across the full engineering lifecycle—from technical design and implementation through to deployment, observability and iterative improvement. The role suits someone who pairs strong software fundamentals with genuine curiosity about the product they're building and the users they're building it for.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with product, design and stakeholders to scope features and translate them into technical work
  • Design, build and ship production-grade services, APIs, web applications and supporting systems
  • Write clean, well-tested, well-documented code that your team will still want to work on a year from now
  • Participate in code review, technical design and architecture discussions
  • Build resilient, observable systems with appropriate monitoring, alerting and operational tooling
  • Contribute to CI/CD, deployment automation and infrastructure-as-code where appropriate
  • Identify and address technical debt, performance bottlenecks and reliability issues
  • Stay close to the product—build the context needed to make good engineering trade-offs
  • (For Senior/Lead/Principal) Lead technical design on larger initiatives, mentor engineers, set engineering standards

What You'll Bring

Technical Expertise:

  • Strong proficiency in one or more of: Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, C#/.NET, TypeScript / Node, Ruby, PHP, Scala, Rust
  • Hands-on experience with modern frameworks (Spring, .NET, Django, FastAPI, Rails, Express / NestJS, Laravel, React, Vue, Next.js, Angular or equivalent)
  • Solid grounding in REST and / or GraphQL API design
  • Working knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases—query design, indexing, schema modelling
  • Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration concepts (Kubernetes basics)
  • Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Test automation discipline—unit, integration and end-to-end
  • Strong Git-based workflows and CI/CD familiarity

Engineering & Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving mindset; able to break large problems into small, shippable steps
  • Code quality discipline—naming, structure, testability, readability
  • Excellent communication with product, design and operations peers
  • Pragmatism—able to balance ideal architecture with what the business needs this quarter
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity and shaping unclear requirements into clear scope
  • Curiosity about user impact, not just the code

Domain Flexibility:

  • Roles span web platforms, mobile backends, enterprise systems, data platforms, ML serving, fintech, healthtech, e-commerce and SaaS products
  • Background in any of these is welcomed; appetite to learn an adjacent stack valued just as much

Experience Level:

  • Minimum 2+ years for Software Engineer / Developer, 5+ for Senior, 8+ for Lead / Principal
  • Background in software engineering, backend, frontend, full-stack or platform development
  • Examples of services, applications or features you've owned end-to-end in production

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on commercially meaningful software where engineering quality drives real outcomes
  • Exposure to modern stacks, cloud-native architectures and contemporary engineering tooling
  • Roles at the level you're ready for—we're hiring across the IC engineering spectrum
  • A collaborative environment where engineering craft and product impact are both valued
  • Clear scope to develop specialist depth or stay broad across the stack
  • Flexible working arrangements (on-site, hybrid or remote) and supportive team culture
