The Opportunity
Surevine’s mission is to build and deliver secure, scalable, collaboration solutions for the most security conscious organisations, enabling collaboration on their most highly sensitive information.
Surevine offer our people a platform for you to transform your individual talents into strengths within a creative, innovation-driven environment.
We hire software engineers who are adaptable, curious, and committed to creating excellent engineering solutions through both independent work and collaboration.
Engineering in Surevine
You will get exposure to engineering techniques across the software lifecycle; cloud engineering, test-driven development, AI-assisted development, experimentation, prototyping and automation. We aren't in the habit of hiring engineering zealots or rigid process followers but instead try to find highly adaptable people who can thoughtfully evaluate context and apply appropriate tools and approaches to the job at hand.
We are actively using AI tools to accelerate our development, improve code quality and solve complex problems. We will want you to use these tools effectively, while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals and critical thinking about AI-generated outputs.
We want you to have (or be looking to learn) an understanding of the impact of engineering decisions on security posture. Critically, we want you to be honest about what you know and what you don’t know and know how to work with your “don’t know”.
We are a distributed company and always have been, so you'll need to communicate effectively using our online tools and collaborate with team members through various channels (video calls, chat, async documentation, etc.), whether working in-person or remotely. We value clear communication and welcome different communication styles and preferences.
We make our solutions by looking at the problem from all angles, but we don’t sit around staring at a problem. Sometimes the only way to learn is to build an MVP and put it in the hands of a real person. And engineering in Surevine right now means being comfortable with AI-augmented development workflows and leveraging ground-breaking tools to amplify your capabilities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
