Principal Engineer (Go)

Most engineers use the cloud. We build it.

We have partnered with a scaling infrastructure powerhouse that is currently rewriting the rules of how digital and physical systems intersect. This isn't a role for someone looking to maintain legacy code or manage standard migrations. We are looking for a Principal Engineer to act as a foundational architect—building the very platforms that the rest of the global tech landscape will rely on tomorrow.

As demand for their platform continues to outpace global capacity, we need a technical leader who has moved beyond "running services" and is ready to define how they are built from the ground up.

🚩The Ultimate Flexibility: We believe that high-impact leadership shouldn't be restricted by geography. We offer a level of autonomy that is rare in the UK market:

• Fully Remote (UK-Based): Complete ownership over your environment and your schedule.

The Toolkit: High-Leverage Engineering

This is a role for someone who views code through the lens of performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability. You will be expected to provide technical steering in:

• Golang Mastery: You are a specialist who understands the internals. You don't just write Go, you master concurrency, memory management, and performance tuning for systems operating at extreme scale.
• Kubernetes: Solid knowledge of how Kubernetes works. You know how to extend it, architect for it, and push its boundaries.
• Data Strategy: You bring a sophisticated approach to PostgreSQL and SQL, with the ability to design resilient, high-pressure relational data models that sustain global traffic.
• Rest & Grpc

Why This Move? You’ll be joining a high-density team of technical "heavy hitters" where the culture is built on excellence and the removal of bureaucracy. At the Principal level, you will move away from mundane CRUD applications and solve the complex, low-level infrastructure challenges that define the next generation of computing.

Let’s have a confidential conversation about the roadmap and the impact you can make.
