Staff Software Engineer in England

Our Mission

The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it's slowing businesses down. Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent. Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend.

What we're looking for

We're looking for an exceptional, product-minded software engineer to join our engineering team & help scale Omnea with us. Our team will grow from low double-digit to 200+ enterprise customers and through 10x revenue in the next 2-3 years. You will support us in driving the growth of our product, team, and company through each chapter as we go from 'start-up' to 'scale-up'. You'll be joining us at the most exciting possible time — we raised an initial $5m seed round from two tier 1 VCs and 30+ renowned founders & angel investors in summer and have since become one of Europe's fastest growing SaaS businesses.

What Can You Expect in our Tech team?

• Join a Skilled Team. You'll become part of one of Europe's fastest growing early-stage companies, working alongside a team of experienced full-stack product engineers who were all high performers at some of the best tech companies out there.
• Direct Product Impact. You will be involved in key product decisions, including prioritising our product roadmap, defining project scopes, and technical direction.
• Work with Modern Tech. Omnea is fully built on cloud-native and serverless technologies. Our primary stack is based on Typescript with React & Material UI, Postgres, Hasura and AWS Serverless Technologies such as Lambda, DynamoDB and EventBridge – all managed via AWS CDK & SST.
• End-to-end Ownership. You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users.
• Continuous Delivery. We embrace continuous delivery to keep our systems agile, responsive and safe.
• Tackle Scalability Challenges. As we grow our customer base from tens to hundreds and expand into new product domains, you will help us scale our product, architecture and processes efficiently while maintaining performance and reliability.
• Collaboration & Autonomy. You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward.
• Customers at the Centre. Being really responsive to customer feedback and issues is key.

About You

You're experienced (not a hard rule, but typically 8+ years) with building web apps having designed and implemented features from start to finish (ideally full-stack, using Typescript and AWS). You focus on having a high impact. You've spearheaded the engineering of critical systems before, working with best-in-class tooling in AWS, IaaC, observability and quality assessments. You want to discover the best ways to bring this to an early-stage startup. You know what good can look like. You understand what it takes to build highly reliable & well architected products. You build with quality, observability & redundancy at the forefront. You're ready to get a lot done. You enjoy all aspects of building a product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You're someone who craves ownership. You're a team builder. You're a team player. You're excited by helping maximise team performance, whether that requires you to learn from others or to take the time to explain things, provide actionable feedback, and level up those around you. You're comfortable when faced with ambiguity.

Nice to haves that really stand out to us

• You've performed exceptionally at something else in the past, be it academics, sport, work etc.
• You've gone above and beyond the norm.
• You love engineering, it's more than a job for you.
• You've contributed to open-source projects or worked on side-projects in your spare time just because you enjoy it.
• You're confident in your ability to tackle ambiguous problems and crank out quality code.
