We’re partnering with an early-stage, venture-backed AI and engineering business developing software at the intersection of advanced computing and industrial technology.
With a small, highly technical team, early commercial traction and ambitious growth plans, the business is building a platform that helps manufacturers make better decisions using complex, real-time data from physical systems.
This is an opportunity to join at an early stage, take ownership of critical infrastructure and help shape the technical foundations of a product solving challenging problems in the real world.

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll build and optimise the core systems responsible for ingesting, processing and storing high-volume data.
You’ll work across performance-critical C++ systems, Python integration and real-time data pipelines, helping deliver reliable software into demanding customer environments.
Expect complex engineering challenges, significant ownership and the opportunity to influence architecture and technical direction from day one.

Core systems development: Build high-performance C++ libraries for data processing and storage.
Python integration: Develop bindings and APIs that make backend capabilities accessible to other engineering teams.
Real-time data pipelines: Design efficient streaming and communication between services and applications.
Cross-platform deployment: Maintain robust build systems, packaging and deployment across Windows and Linux.
Reliability and performance: Improve error handling, logging, monitoring and performance across production systems.

Someone who enjoys solving difficult systems problems and building software that performs reliably outside a development environment.

3+ years of commercial C++ development experience, ideally C++17 or later.
Strong fundamentals in concurrency, multithreading, memory management and performance optimisation.
Experience building software that handles large datasets or high-throughput data streams.
A degree in computer science, engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
A pragmatic, hands‑on approach and the ability to deliver in a fast‑moving environment.
Existing right to work in the UK.
