Looking for more than just another ticket? Build technology that combats homelessness, domestic abuse, and mental health inequality.
I'm partnering exclusively with a leading Tech for Good organization that builds the technical infrastructure used by government bodies and local authorities to tackle the UK’s most complex social challenges. They are seeking a Senior/Principal Software Engineer to help them tackle a major two-year project, directly impacting how support is delivered to marginalised groups nationwide.
Why Apply? ✨
* True Autonomy: This role is defined by agency. You’ll deliver projects independently and consult directly with public sector partners.
* Unbeatable Flexibility: Remote First - in the London office once a month.
* Work-Life Balance: No on-call. 28 days holiday + a full office closure over Christmas. Plus, a \"work from anywhere\" policy for up to a month at a time.
* Salary: £90,000 (2-year FTC with a very high likelihood of extension or moving to permanent).
The Challenge 🚀
This isn’t a \"standard\" corporate role. You’ll be working in a high-autonomy environment where ethics and security are at the heart of every line of code.
* Security Mastery: Deep security/DevSecOps experience, specifically implementing and monitoring systems for data breaches and observability.
* AI & Ethics: We need someone comfortable with AI who doesn’t just chase the hype but understands the real possibilities. We’re looking for a candidate with a grounded opinion on integrating AI into workflows, whether you’ve explored this through personal projects, studies, or at work.
* Autonomy & Technical Leadership: comfortable delivering projects independently, troubleshooting, and reviewing/coaching others.
The Tech Stack 🛠️
* The Core: Strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) background. They primarily use Python/Django, but are happy to cross-train experts from Java, Ruby, or TypeScript backgrounds.
* The Cloud: Deep proficiency in Azure Infrastructure is essential.
* The Workflow: You should be comfortable with high context-switching and have the ability to manage multiple projects with varying lengths and constraints.
About You 👤

If you are passionate about building technology that changes thousands of lives and want to make a tangible, positive impact on society, please apply—I’d love to speak with you.
