Software Engineering Recruitment Specialist | Agency Owner | Helping companies grow their tech teams for 20+ years!
Software Engineer X 10 – Near CambridgeOnsite | High-Growth AI Company | Prototype-to-Product Development

This is an exceptional opportunity to work across a wide variety of projects—from early-stage prototypes to fully developed products—helping to shape new technologies that solve complex, real-world challenges.
First and foremost, our client cares far more about intellect, aptitude, attitude, and problem-solving ability than specific knowledge or years of experience. The right people can learn new languages, frameworks, and technologies quickly, so experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
They always choose the right tool for the job, not the other way around—so technologies may evolve as products and capabilities grow.
If you are smart, curious, adaptable, and love solving difficult problems, this role is an excellent fit.

- Working across multiple projects simultaneously and adapting to varied technical challenges
- Collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers to integrate software with hardware, sensors, and complex systems
- Rapidly learning and applying new technologies, tools, and approaches
- Contributing to problem-solving throughout the entire development lifecycle
- Supporting software used to control hardware platforms, custom devices, or sensor systems
Requirements
- Strong academic background (2:1 or above) in a STEM discipline
