Job Description

Senior Software Engineer - Rust (No Rust required)

Fastest Growing Start-up in the UK | Defense | Senior Software Engineer | Rust

We are partnered with one of the UK's fastest growing start-ups. They are a very technically focused group building cutting-edge decision making technology.

The company's founding team has real pedigree, with backgrounds from the UK Special Forces, Palantir and Helsing. They've been building for just over two years, and already have a lot of customers in the UK.

Up to 150,000 + Equity

Senior/Principal Software Engineers:

They're looking to add Senior/Principal Engineers to their team. The team are open to hiring pure backend engineers, or full-stack engineers. Their technical stack is Rust, Typescript and React on the frontend. They do not require any experience in any of these technologies, the team hire on pure technical acumen rather than years of experience with one language.

Bonus point if you have built:

  • High throughput systems
  • Event sourced architectures
  • Unified event models

No sponsorship is available at this time.
