Senior Engineer

Senior Engineer - Up to £140,000 + great benefits - Remote first business

My client is a leading software business in the security space and looking to build their first UK software engineering team. They were founded around 10 years ago, have circa 500 employees globally and are looking for a two more senior engineers to join the team in the UK. There will be 20 people in the UK engineering team by the end of 2026 (Currently 7)

They pride themselves on having very strong engineering standards and hire the top 5% of engineers globally.

They build an AI-powered identity verification and fraud prevention platform and have around 20 products in their product offering. They have raised over $600 million in funding since inception, currently valued at over $5 billion.

You’ll set technical direction, architecting robust solutions and driving best practices through code and design reviews. From planning to execution, you’ll lead complex initiatives end-to-end whilst aligning teams, managing scope and delivering with precision.

Their tech stack is Golang, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD and distributed systems and you will be building out their core platform with a newly built team. They have over 3000 enterprise clients and work with some of the biggest companies globally. They would like someone with the following experience:

• 5 + years of hands-on software engineering experience
• A track record of leading large-scale, complex engineering projects
• 1+ year experience in Golang
• Experience working with high throughput / low latency systems
• Deep expertise in building scalable distributed systems

They are paying between £100,000 and £140,000 with up to a 15% bonus and RSU's available. They are a remote first business but you should probably expect to meet up in London with the team twice a quarter at the design stage of new projects.
