A global, product-led technology company is hiring a Software Engineer to join its UK-based engineering team.
The organisation builds and operates large-scale, consumer-facing platforms used at significant scale. Their systems combine cloud-native services, distributed architectures, and edge-based software, running in highly available, production-critical environments.
The Role
You’ll join a UK engineering function responsible for building and evolving a complex, real-world platform. The team delivers new features, maintains live services, and continuously improves performance, reliability, and observability across a distributed system.
The role covers a broad technical surface area, including:
* Cloud-based services written primarily in Python
* Distributed and edge-based components developed in Golang (experience beneficial but not required)
* Large-scale systems running in a modern public cloud environment
You’ll take ownership of services from design and implementation through to deployment, monitoring, and ongoing optimisation, working closely with other engineering teams in a collaborative, product-focused environment.
Technology Environment
* Languages: Python, Golang
* Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (or equivalent experience)
* CI/CD: GitHub Actions
* APIs: GraphQL
* Infrastructure: Terraform
What They’re Looking For
They’re open-minded on background and value engineers who bring a strong core skillset alongside curiosity and a willingness to learn.
* Strong experience writing production-grade Python
* Experience working with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
* Interest in distributed systems and scalable architectures
* Exposure to Golang, or motivation to learn it on the job
* Comfort operating in high-availability, production environments
* A collaborative mindset and clear communication skills
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Flexible working arrangements
* Dedicated learning and development budget
* Regular learning days and technical knowledge-sharing
* Optional international engineering events
* Supportive culture that values ownership, quality, and continuous improvement
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to work on technically complex systems at genuine scale, where engineers are trusted to own what they build. You’ll join a mature, product-focused engineering team tackling real-world challenges across cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and performance-critical software.
