Full Stack Engineer

A fast-growing industrial technology company is looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build and scale a proprietary platform that's transforming how modern manufacturing operates.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll be working across the stack on production systems that directly control and optimize physical factories ranging from real-time data pipelines and backend services to user-facing tools used on the shop floor. The work is practical, high-impact, and closely tied to real-world outcomes.

The environment is high-autonomy and fast-moving. You'll be expected to spot operational problems, turn them into software, and ship improvements quickly. There's close collaboration with leadership and on-site teams, and a strong bias toward execution over process.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing and building core full-stack systems for factory automation and real-time operations
  • Owning features end to end, from infrastructure and backend services through to UX
  • Working directly with operational teams to understand bottlenecks and solve them in software
  • Deploying and iterating quickly in demanding, production-critical environments
  • Leading projects from idea to rollout, with a focus on reliability and performance

What they're looking for:

  • 2–5 years of professional software engineering experience (flexible for standout candidates)
  • Strong fundamentals in full-stack development
  • Comfortable working independently and taking responsibility
  • Experience building production systems rather than prototypes
  • Interest in solving messy, real-world problems with software

Nice to have:

  • Strong frontend or UX instincts
  • Experience in startups or as an early engineer
  • Background in industrial, aerospace, defense, or hardware-adjacent environments
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices

This is an on-site role based in London, working closely with both engineers and physical

operations to build software that directly shapes how things are made.
