Job description

Our client is a well-established product led company that develops technology used to manage complex, high-volume operations. Their software is relied on every day in environments where downtime isn't an option, so reliability, performance, and quality matter.

Client details will be shared confidentially with shortlisted candidates.

The Role

You'll be joining a highly capable engineering team building high-performance software in C++ and C#. This is hands-on engineering where you'll be solving complex problems, influencing technical decisions, and helping shape the direction of the platform. You'll have a genuine voice in architecture and design, not just a backlog of tickets to get through.

What you'll be doing

• Designing, building, and maintaining high-performance software components in C++ and C#
• Contributing to architecture and technical design decisions
• Writing clean, tested, maintainable code and helping set engineering standards across the team
• Working closely with product, QA, and other engineers to deliver reliable software
• Mentoring mid-level engineers and supporting their growth
• Investigating, troubleshooting, and improving performance-critical systems

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of commercial software engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience developing production software in both C++ and C#
• A solid understanding of software design principles, object-oriented programming, and system architecture
• Experience working with multithreaded, real-time, or performance-sensitive systems will be highly regarded
• Confidence working across the full software development lifecycle
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical trade-offs clearly
• Mining software experience highly desirable but not essential

Why apply

• Work on software that solves real problems and has a genuine impact
• Take ownership of meaningful technical work
• Join a team that cares about good engineering and building things properly
• Competitive salary and benefits

If you're seeking a role where you can use both your engineering and commercial skillset, influence cost-aware culture across an entire engineering function, and see measurable business impact from your work, this position offers both visibility and rare scope.
