Job description

Senior Software Engineer

Scope automates the data collection that is slowing down the physical world.

Standards are vital for the safety of our infrastructure. Spending hours manually documenting them is not.

Dave is an inspector. Today he's climbing through one of Europe’s biggest chemical plants, looking for the corrosion that could shut the whole site down, with a notebook and pen in hand. Tomorrow, he'll spend even longer on the part of the job he hates: turning those scribbles into a report.

We're building the best AI-native data collection layer for the 2 billion field workers like Dave. Scope radically simplifies how inspectors collect data in the field, make decisions, and produce reports. Along the way, we're building the world's largest dataset on the condition of the built world and the decisions experts make about it.

It’s a $2T market and we're just getting started, with ambitions. We have grown revenue 5x in the last year and on track to reach 10M ARR in 2026. We work with 6 of the top 10 companies in the space. Our customers inspect facilities and products for companies including AstraZeneca and SpaceX.

We've assembled a best-in-class team: acquired and future founders, people from institutions like Imperial, Carnegie Mellon and Oxford, and from firms like Goldman Sachs, Flexport and Amazon.

Since launching from Entrepreneurs First in 2024, we've raised an oversubscribed $20m round led by Index Ventures, the firm behind Figma, Revolut and Wiz, with over 100 unicorns backed to date.

About the role

You'll own problems end to end. You won't be handed tickets and asked to stay in your lane. You'll talk to users, decide what matters, design the solution, ship it, and see whether it worked.

We work in person five days a week from our sunny office in Farringdon. We believe being together helps us move faster and solve problems more effectively and it's also more fun!

We're looking for people who want to help invent what inspection software should look like in a post AI world.

What you'll do

• Build the systems that takes voice notes, photos, videos and proactively finishes reports
• Engineer how we feed context to AI models: how to store, fetch and select standards, reports, media, user intention
• Evolve our workflow builder into self evolving software
• Design the architecture behind the product: how unstructured data flows through the system, how AI is integrated, how offline and online behaviour stay seamless, and how we keep the product simple as it becomes more powerful.

Who you are

• We believe great teams are made up of highly agentic managers of one. People who care more about shipping results than collecting badges.
• You should apply if you're deeply technical and enjoy building applications
• You have strong technical skills, ideally mobile applications focused.
• You have 5+ years of experience and have built up enough scar tissue to know which technical decisions matter.
• Expo / React Native experience a big plus

Interview process

• An initial call.
• A collaborative technical exercise with an engineer.
• An Interview with a cofounder - Jonny (CEO) or Jakob (CTO).
• Onsite Product Interview - Meeting more people on the team and getting a feel of what it would be like to work here.
• Offer!

Compensation and benefits

£120,000 - £150,000 + equity
