Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer (Contract) | Product-Focused | £500–£650/day

Advert

We are working with a scaling technology business delivering a core platform that underpins significant commercial growth across the UK and Europe.

They are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join on a contract basis, focused on building and improving high-volume, customer-facing systems.

This is not a role for someone who just writes code. The environment requires engineers who understand how their work impacts product, customers and revenue.

What you will be doing

• Building and scaling backend services and APIs
• Contributing to system design and architecture decisions
• Working closely with Product and Design to deliver features end-to-end
• Improving performance, reliability and scalability of core systems
• Contributing to engineering standards and best practice

What they are looking for

• Strong experience in modern backend development (Java, Python, Node or similar)
• Experience working in product-led environments
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and APIs
• Comfortable contributing to technical decisions, not just delivery
• Ability to operate in fast-paced, evolving environments

  Nice to have

  • Experience in cloud environments (AWS, Azure or GCP)
  • Exposure to microservices architecture
  • Experience in scale-up or high-growth environments

  Why this role

  • High-impact work on a core platform
  • Strong engineering culture with real ownership
  • Opportunity to influence how systems are built, not just maintain them.
