Want to build a product rather than maintain one? We're partnering with an established engineering and technology business that is making a significant investment in a brand-new software platform to power the next generation of its connected products. This is a rare opportunity to become the first senior software engineering hire on a greenfield initiative. You'll work closely with senior leadership to define the architecture, build the MVP and shape the long-term direction of both the platform and the future engineering team. The vision is to create a modern cloud platform that connects smart devices, processes real-time data and delivers valuable insights through scalable software products.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing and building a greenfield cloud platform from the ground up
- Developing APIs, backend services and event-driven applications
- Collaborating with hardware and engineering teams to integrate connected devices
- Building scalable solutions for telemetry, analytics and customer-facing applications
- Helping define technical architecture, engineering standards and best practices
- Leveraging AI-assisted development tools where appropriate
- Playing a key role in growing and shaping the software engineering function
We're looking for experience in:
- Building software products from concept through to production
- Modern backend development using technologies such as C#, .NET, Java, Kotlin or Python
- Cloud platforms including Azure, AWS or GCP
- Designing APIs, distributed systems or event-driven architectures
- IoT, telemetry, connected devices or real-time data (desirable but not essential)
- Taking ownership of technical decisions while remaining hands-on
What's on offer?
- A genuine greenfield product with real technical ownership
- The opportunity to be the first software engineering hire on a major new initiative
- Work at the intersection of hardware and software
- AI-assisted engineering encouraged
- Significant influence over architecture, product direction and future hiring
- Hybrid working (1 day per week in the South East)
- Up to £130,000 salary plus private healthcare and pension
If you're looking for a role where you can combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership and help build a modern software platform from the ground up, we'd love to tell you more.
