London, Greater London, United Kingdom The Difference Engine Full time £60,000 - £100,000 per year

Are you an experienced Senior Software Engineer who enjoys greenfield development and likes technical ownership? As a senior software engineer, have you enjoyed working in rapid scale-up environments where you've had direct access to senior leadership, significant influence on technical strategy alongside fostering a culture of best practice and technical innovation within your teams?

Our client, profitable, well-funded and growing at 30% YoY, is looking for a Senior / Lead Software Engineer to run their Data Engineering team. Having found product / market fit, this hire is now a key inflection point as they embark on a major re-engineering effort to position themselves for scale and to support the large backlog of clients ready to onboard to their platform.

As an established Tech Lead / Senior Software Engineer, you'll have experience of the following:

  • At least 10+ years commercial software engineering experience, with a strong focus on back-end
  • A STEM degree, with a solid understanding of software engineering / computer science fundamentals
  • While a polyglot mindset is important, a background in a strongly typed OO language is highly valued (C#, Java)
  • Experience building scalable, resilient, secure, event-driven, distributed service-based architectures, ideally in AWS
  • Collaborating effectively with a technically astute product team
  • Driving technical excellence across all stages of the product lifecycle
  • Coaching, mentoring and growing an established mid-level team who are eager to learn from you
  • Working in a start-up / scale-up environment where you enjoyed having a broad impact, close proximity to leadership and seeing first-hand the impact of your efforts
  • Seeing the value being on-site 4 days a week has in building culture, fostering innovation, and supporting effective communication.

If you're an experienced Senior / Lead Engineer who is excited by greenfield development, rapid-scale and growing a team around you, we'd love to hear from you.

Strong lead engineers are promised a response within 24 hours of application.
