Role: Senior Software Engineer

Salary: £80,000 plus £10,000 bonus

Remote working: 2 days in London office

I am working with a B2B Start Up who are looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to step into a more senior leadership position in their company to bridge the gap between complex technical execution and commercial strategy.

The Opportunity

You will own the technical architecture and roadmap for a business with a massive digital footprint, over 100,000 daily subscribers and a rapidly expanding revenue engine. Your mission is to "fix and build", landing critical ongoing migrations while scaling their systems to support new product launches.

As a member of the leadership team, you will report directly to the CEO, ensuring their technology stack is a driver of their commercial success.

Key Responsibilities for Senior Software Engineer

• Technical Leadership: Own and maintain their core stack, including headless CMS (WordPress + DatoCMS), infrastructure (AWS/Heroku), and billing systems (Stripe/Zephr).
• Vendor Management: Act as the primary interface for their talented nearshore development team.
• Strategic Roadmapping: Translate business requirements into clear technical specifications.
• Commercial Integration: Partner with the Head of Research and Intelligence teams to deliver data features and optimize our subscription paywall funnel.

Who You Are

• The Translator: You have a proven ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership.
• The Operator: You have hands-on experience as a Senior Software Engineer with CMS ecosystems, subscription/paywall systems, and cloud infrastructure.
• The Leader: You have a track record of managing outsourced or nearshore teams and a preference for permanent, growth-oriented environments.
