Software & Automation Senior Software Automation Engineer Permanent / Full-Time London, UK View[...]

Vorboss is building London’s next-generation business fibre network. This is a responsibility that we take seriously; we understand that for most businesses, reliable fibre internet is as important as heat, electricity, and water. We want to completely change the fibre network in London (and beyond), and we’re on the hunt for smart, talented people to join us.

At Vorboss, we do the right thing—no matter what. Our unwavering focus on engineering excellence and unrivalled commitment to customer service is trusted by the most important organisations across the UK and Europe in the technology, pharmaceutical, financial, and e-commerce industries.

We’re proud to have earned one of the best reputations in the industry, and it is essential to us that we maintain that reputation as we grow. Our team is tight knit and highly talented. We trust each other to do the right thing, take responsibility, and be a champion for our collective success.

We’re looking for talented, smart people to join us as we embark on this exciting period of growth. Our vision for Vorboss is to be ‘the best job that someone ever had’, regardless of how long they stay with us, and promise to provide a supportive workplace based on respect and trust.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Software & Automation team.

This isn’t a narrow, “take a ticket off of the JIRA queue” role; the ideal person thrives across a modern full stack, from React apps and APIs to low/no-code tools like Node-RED and Airtable. They’re excited about experimenting with LLMs and agents, and they tinker - whether that’s with home automation, music setups, or that one side-project they just haven’t quite finished yet!

We care about technical curiosity, craftsmanship, and a pragmatic approach: always do the right thing technically, but recognise when organisational or technical debt is a prudent trade-off to help move the business move forward.

We also believe software should serve processes, not dictate them, and that automation only makes sense once processes are sound.

• Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team.
• Setting Standards: Uphold high standards in user experience and coding practices, contributing to the maintenance of a clean, efficient codebase.
• Build across the stack: from low-code automations to polished React applications.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to deeply understand problems and design solutions that improve efficiency.
• Explore and apply modern automation approaches, including LLM-powered agents.
• Contribute to the full software lifecycle: design, build, deploy, and support.
• Champion a mindset of “improving how we build,” both for team practices and developer experience.
• API Design and Development: Design and develop robust APIs with a strong emphasis on GraphQL.

• Adaptability in a Fast-Paced Environment: Thrives in dynamic settings and can quickly adapt to the evolving needs of the business. Comfortable with rapid changes and able to maintain high performance under pressure.
• Proactive and Self-Motivated: A true go-getter who takes initiative without waiting for directions. Demonstrates a self-starter attitude with the drive to learn and tackle new challenges independently.
• Takes Responsibility: Takes proactive ownership of tasks and responsibilities and agrees that engineers should own their product\'s entire life cycle.
• Collaborative and Solutions-Orientated: Excellent at collaborating with cross-functional teams, understanding their needs, and proactively offering solutions. Displays strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.

Must-Have Skills:

• Strong Experience in NodeJS and Typescript.
• Strong Experience with both consuming and developing GraphQL APIs
