We're working with a growing UK connectivity provider - multiple brands supporting thousands of businesses and a genuinely interesting technical problem space. The software team is small, capable, and autonomous. We own a broad scope: provisioning systems, customer self-service, network integrations, and an increasingly AI-assisted way of working. Some of our problems are the kind you won't find at a typical SaaS business.
What you'll work on:
- Backend services, platform automation, systems integration, and agentic tooling - built on a TypeScript / PHP stack with Postgres, running cloud-native and containerised.
What we're looking for:
- A strong fullstack engineer who spots what needs doing and gets on with it.
- Comfortable taking things from design through to production.
- Knowledge of Kubernetes and CI/CD.
- Genuinely fluent with AI-assisted coding tools.
- Telecoms or ISP exposure is a bonus, not a requirement.
What's on offer:
- Real ownership, broad scope, and influence over how the team builds - not just a backlog ticket queue.
- If you want to work on hard infrastructure problems with a team that moves fast and does the right thing, we'd love to hear from you.
Nice to have:
- Experience in Telecoms, ISP or networking exposure: RADIUS, BNG, CGNAT, IPv6, captive portals, VoIP/SIP is advantageous.
- Awareness of OSS/BSS systems.
- Linux and sysadmin experience.
- Networking automation (MikroTik, Unifi) or infrastructure-as-code.
