Building new services. Modernising existing systems. Solving scalability challenges. Improving reliability. Influencing technical decisions. And helping build a platform capable of supporting international growth.

The business is simultaneously: 🌳 Scaling its Engineering organisation 🌳 Investing heavily in Product & Technology 🌳 Modernising its core platform 🌳 Moving towards a modern Go architecture 🌳 Scaling its cloud infrastructure 🌳 Growing rapidly 🌳 Expanding into the US 🇺🇸 That's what makes this opportunity different. The company is established enough to have scale, customers and serious investment behind it — but early enough in its next chapter for engineers joining now to have genuine influence. You're not arriving once the transformation is finished. You're joining to help build it. 🌎 UK Scale-Up → Global SaaS Business International expansion is already underway. As the product moves into the US market, Engineering will play a huge part in making sure the platform can support the next level of scale. That means bigger technical challenges. More investment.
