MCS Group are delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing cybersecurity scale-up that is building out a brand-new engineering hub as part of its European expansion.
This is a unique opportunity to take full ownership of a greenfield product build - redeveloping a Learning Management System (LMS) from the ground up, which will become a core platform for future innovation across the business.
About the Company
Our client is an established cybersecurity business specialising in protecting critical infrastructure - including utilities, transport networks, and industrial systems.
They operate at the intersection of security, engineering, and real-world impact, helping organisations prevent and respond to cyber threats in complex environments.
With strong growth plans and a long-term investment in engineering, they are now building a new platform that will underpin their next phase of product development.
The Role
This is not a traditional engineering role.
They are looking for someone who can act as a mini-CTO - a strong hands‑on engineer with product thinking, capable of taking full ownership of building and launching the first version (MVP) of a new LMS platform.
You will:
* Lead the end‑to‑end build of a greenfield product (from concept to delivery)
* Make key product and technical decisions
* Shape the roadmap and platform direction
* Work autonomously with full ownership
* Manage subcontractors or additional resources if required
What They’re Looking For
* Strong full-stack engineering background - You will still be coding day to day!
* Experience building products from scratch (0 → 1 mindset)
* Comfortable making product and architectural decisions
* Ability to work independently and take ownership
Tech-wise, they are open, but experience across the following is beneficial:
* JavaScript
* Python / Ruby / Go
* Modern web or mobile development
* UI/UX awareness
* Exposure to AI / machine learning (nice to have, not essential)
Why Join
* Greenfield ownership - build something from the ground up
* Real-world impact - working on technology that supports critical infrastructure
* High autonomy - genuine ownership and decision-making power
* Growth opportunity - be part of a new engineering hub with long-term progression
* Flexible environment - supportive, collaborative, and innovation-driven
