Lead Software Engineer

Central London office

Are you a Lead Software Engineer with extensive knowledge of building distributed systems? Looking to join a company who are solving genuine problems that disrupt an industry? Interested in working with the best talent on the market and having a real impact on projects?

If so...

I'm partnered with a very exciting Cloud scale-up who have received record Series A funding and are looking for innovative Lead Software Engineers to join their ambitious team! With a new VP of Engineering who has spent much of their career building out a world leading Cloud platform, the team are growing fast and they're looking to attract the best talent on the market.

Having received huge investment, they are on a journey to truly disrupt the industry and are not held back by any legacy code or old customers. This means that they're able to build out state-of-the-art, Greenfield code which can focus on being the worlds most accountable and sustainable cloud provider.

What they're looking for in a Lead Software Engineer:

• Tech agnostic but preferable experience working with Golang, Rust, Java and/or C/C++.
• In-depth knowledge of distributed systems, building solutions at scale where performance, reliability and availability are key considerations.
• Confident in leading the definition and creation of solutions from 0-1, solving ambiguous and complex challenges.
• Experience working on software infrastructure or building Cloud native software using Kubernetes.
• Understanding of systems design and Open Source components.
• If you have knowledge of building virtual machines - Virtual servers, virtual networking or network programming - that's a plus... but definitely not needed!
