Senior Software Engineer
£75,000 – £85,000 + Bonus & Benefits
Hybrid | Central London (1 day per week)
We're working with a scaling, mission-driven consumer app business to find a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, high-ownership engineering team. They're backed by a major international organisation, which means real stability and resource, but the team operates with full startup autonomy - moving fast, shipping frequently, and owning what they build end to end.
The product is a consumer app used by hundreds of thousands of customers globally, and the engineering team deploys multiple times a day. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work comfortably across both backend and frontend, with a natural lean towards backend design and architecture. The team values pragmatism over perfection - you'll be expected to make sensible calls, move things forward, and not get lost in the weeds.

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.
