Shape the backbone of a modern security platform by developing scalable backend systems that power enterprise-grade SaaS solutions. In this role, you'll design and implement robust APIs and services that handle complex data processing, ensuring performance, reliability, and growth.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and refine backend processing systems that form the foundation of the core product
- Design and maintain scalable, multithreaded services using modern programming languages and cloud infrastructure
- Optimize system performance, resilience, and data flow across distributed environments
- Work closely with engineering and product teams to deliver meaningful features on an agile timeline
- Apply strong software engineering principles across design, development, and review phases
- Support continuous improvement through observability, testing, and deployment practices
What We’re Looking For
- 5–7 years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a focus on backend development
- Proficiency in languages such as Python, Go, or SQL, and experience with relational databases like Postgres
- Proven background building APIs, backend services, and multithreaded applications
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP)
- Experience with event-driven architectures using tools like Kafka or Redis
- Strong grasp of software design, version control (Git), and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI/CD)
- Adaptability in fast-moving environments with evolving technical and product requirements
Nice-to-Have Experience
- Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus or Grafana
- Exposure to quality engineering practices across development and testing cycles
- Interest or experience in large-scale distributed systems and performance tuning
- Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure including LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, RAG, and inference pipelines
Environment & Culture
This role operates in a hybrid model, with flexible remote work supported and physical presence available in Cheltenham or Manchester. You’ll join a technically strong, collaborative team that values engineering excellence, innovation, and adaptability. The culture emphasizes learning, ownership, and direct impact on products used by global enterprises.
Our stack includes Python, Go, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Postgres, AWS, GCP, S3, Kafka, Redis, Git, GitLab CI/CD, Grafana, Prometheus, and emerging technologies in the AI space such as LLMs and vector databases.
