If so…

I'm partnered with a very exciting Cloud scale-up who have received record Series A funding and are looking for innovative Lead Software Engineers to join their ambitious team!

What they're looking for in a Lead Software Engineer:

  • Confident in leading the definition and creation of solutions from 0-1, solving ambiguous and complex challenges.
  • Experience working on software infrastructure or building Cloud native software using Kubernetes.
  • Understanding of systems design and Open Source components.
  • If you have knowledge of building virtual machines – Virtual servers, virtual networking or network programming – that's a plus… but definitely not needed!
