Software Lead Engineer
Location: London (Onsite)
Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 + Equity & Benefits
About the Role
We are seeking a Software Lead Engineer to join an agile team of 5 in London. In this hands-on leadership role, you will bridge the gap between software and hardware, working across three core verticals: Gen AI, Cloud / Back-End / TypeScript, and Product Systems.
You don't need to be a deep technical specialist in all three, but you must have the breadth and understanding to drive product execution.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
