Mid Weight Software Developer - Help Build Software That Solves Real World Problems
I'm working with a growing UK software business that is transforming the way organisations manage fire and building safety compliance.
Their platform is trusted by many of the UK's largest property owners, managers and consultancies, helping modernise an industry that has traditionally relied on outdated, document driven processes. Instead, they're building intelligent software that makes critical safety data easier to capture, manage and act upon.
With a strong product, an established customer base and exciting growth plans, they're now looking for a talented Mid Weight Software Developer to join the team.
The Opportunity
This is an ideal role for an engineer who's ready to take the next step in their career.
- You'll join a collaborative engineering team where you'll have genuine ownership over the product
- Work closely with experienced technical leaders
- Play a key role in supporting and mentoring junior developers
This isn't an environment where you'll simply work through tickets. You'll be encouraged to understand customer problems, contribute ideas, influence technical decisions and build solutions that have a tangible impact.
