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
