Job description

Senior Software Engineer | £80k–£110k + Equity | Remote

develop are working with a profitable, growing technology business looking to add another experienced Software Engineer to their team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a smaller product engineering environment where you can have genuine ownership and influence.

They’re looking for a strong Backend or Full Stack Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, thinking about the wider architecture and working across different parts of a product.

The exact tech stack is less important than your overall engineering ability.

• C#
• GraphQL
• APIs / distributed services
• React or Blazor (desirable)
• AI/ML
• DevOps
• CI/CD
• Systems architecture

They’re particularly interested in people who;

• Have experience building customer focussed products/systems with multiple moving parts
• Understand system design and can explain the trade-offs behind technical decisions
• Have worked across different technologies and can pick up new ones quickly
• Enjoy being hands-on but want input into architecture and technical direction
• Are comfortable taking ownership without needing lots of structure
• Have ideally worked in a startup, scale-up, fintech or similarly fast-paced environment

There’s plenty to get involved with across backend engineering, product development, cloud infrastructure, architecture and AI, depending on where your strengths and interests sit.

They’re profitable, the engineering team is experienced and self-sufficient, and they’re looking for someone who wants the autonomy that comes with joining a smaller technology business.
