Senior Software Engineer
MHR, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom
At MHR, our employees are central to our success and play a key role in helping customers achieve sustainable high performance. With a team of over 900 professionals, we work to make things flow smoothly, whether it’s for large organisations or individual employees. As businesses face rapid changes in the world of work, our team is here to help them adapt and thrive.
By focusing on the core needs of efficiency, productivity, growth, and impact, our employees use their expertise to deliver real solutions through our People and Finance platform. This system, which covers finance, HR, payroll, and learning, helps businesses run more smoothly and make better decisions in real time.
With over 40 years of experience behind us, MHR’s track record as a high‑performance organisation is built on clear goals, a shared vision, and strong communication – all of which we pass on to our customers.
MHR is more than just a place to work; it’s a platform for empowerment. Joining us means bringing innovation, technology, and teamwork together, removes obstacles, enhances your skills, and allows you to focus on what’s most important to you – work that matters.
With us, you’ll grow, find your flow, and make a lasting difference in your career, your team, and your impact.
What we are building:
We’re building LLMs into every primary part of our product and processes – not as bolt‑ons or gimmicks, but as core infrastructure and how we deliver value to our customers and users. It’s difficult work. Do you want to be part of that?
This isn’t another front‑end build or API integration exercise. We want to introduce a scale of functionality that is right at the edge of the current state‑of‑the‑art and need flexible, experienced, clear problem solvers to help.
What We’re Looking For
We need people who can move comfortably between layers – who can reason about problems, not just code features.
You’ve built production‑level software, ideally spanning both client and server sides.
You understand how a front‑end interacts with back‑end logic, and how to stitch systems together pragmatically.
You’re not fazed by ambiguity – you can figure out the shape of a solution before there’s a spec.
You might describe yourself as a full‑stack engineer, systems thinker, or experimental problem‑solver rather than a pure developer.
You’re likely the sort of person who has side projects because your day job doesn’t stretch you enough.
These problems are hard and the solutions are harder – you can communicate both clearly and kindly.
We don’t care if your strongest skill is TypeScript, Python, Go, or something else; depth in one language matters less than how you think, deconstruct, and build.
