Lead Software Engineer: Cyber Startup
Location: London (or can easily commute for two days per month to London headquarter)
Make sure to apply with all the requested information, as laid out in the job overview below.
We’re partnering with a well-funded, cybersecurity intelligence company building a next-generation third-party and supply chain risk platform.
They are now looking to bring on a lead software engineer – someone who wants real ownership, architectural influence, and the chance to help shape the company.
The Opportunity
You’ll join as a Senior Lead Software Engineer, working closely with the Director of Engineering to:
- Design and build scalable backend services (TypeScript/Node.js + Python)
- Architect systems that ingest and process large-scale intelligence data
- Own and evolve AWS infrastructure
- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code
- Establish engineering standards, patterns and best practices
- Influence architectural direction as the platform matures
- Help hire and mentor future engineers
Strong backend focus, but you’re comfortable contributing across the stack when needed.
What They’re Looking For
- 4+ years backend experience (strong TypeScript/Node. xwzovoh js + Python)
- Hands-on AWS infrastructure experience in production environments
- Comfortable owning problems end-to-end
- Someone who cares about doing things properly from day one
Why This Role Is Different
- Direct influence over architecture and engineering culture
- Meaningful equity upside
- Product solving real-world cyber, supply-chain and financial risk challenges
- Opportunity to build the backbone of a platform entering rapid growth
If you’re currently in a larger org and miss real ownership – or you’re in a startup and want something more technically ambitious – this is worth a conversation.
