High-Growth B2B SaaS | Engineering & DevOps Platform

London

About the Company

We are partnering with a rapidly scaling, venture-backed B2B software company building a next-generation platform for modern engineering organizations.

The business provides a centralised platform that enables engineering, platform and DevOps teams to standardise workflows, improve governance and accelerate software delivery. By unifying fragmented tooling and processes, the platform helps organisations move from manual, siloed ways of working to scalable, AI-enabled engineering operations.

Following a significant recent funding round, the company is entering a new phase of growth and is seeing strong enterprise traction across EMEA.
