Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Corecom Consulting Full time

Founding Engineer / Remote-First (UK) – Infrequent travel to Cambridge or London / £90,000–£100,000

We’re hiring a Founding Engineer for an emerging deep-tech organisation operating at the intersection of software analysis, compilers, and developer tooling. Their platform, built from cutting-edge PhD research, automatically analyses complex C/C++ codebases and provides developers with meaningful, actionable insights. With expansion into Java on the horizon, this is a rare opportunity to influence the core engine of a next-generation code-intelligence product.

You’ll act as a critical early member of the engineering team, working closely with the technical founder and a small group of full-stack engineers. This is a deeply hands-on role where you'll architect and build compiler frameworks, analysis pipelines, and automated bug-detection tooling that will underpin the entire platform.


Background in program analysis, including static or dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, or code-understanding tooling.
Strong engineering capability in C++ or Java (C++ is priority; Java analysis forms part of future roadmap).
Experience with frontend compiler tooling, AST manipulation, IR, code transformation, or similar.
Background in automated software testing or building testing/analysis automation.
Experience working in organisations focused on compilers, code analysis, developer tooling, or embedded systems.
Exposure to companies operating in the chip, systems, static analysis, or security tooling space
As Founding Engineer, you’ll build, shape, and own the program-analysis core of the product. You’ll collaborate closely with the founder (a specialist in program analysis) and research-aligned engineers, ensuring the architecture is scalable, performant, and extensible as the platform evolves.

You’ll be instrumental in defining the engineering standards, technical direction, and underlying architecture for complex analysis pipelines. Build and mature the platform’s compiler frontends and AST tooling
Implement scalable static and dynamic analysis techniques
Develop automated bug-finding, code quality checks, and safety tooling
Contribute to C/C++ reverse-engineering capabilities (with Java later)
Design robust architectures for large-scale code analysis
Remote-first flexibility, with future presence in Cambridge or London
Competitive salary between £90,000–£100,000, depending on experience
Join a culture driven by innovation, academic rigour, and engineering excellence
