software developer

We're working with a global technology business that builds mission-critical software for live environments - where reliability, timing, and performance matter more than feature velocity.

This is not a typical product engineering role.

The software you'll work on operates in real time, often under intense pressure, supporting live data, visual output, and broadcast-grade systems. There's no "we'll fix it in the next release" mentality - things need to work when it counts.

Who this role suits

This position is best suited to an experienced software developer who:

• enjoys complex, real-time systems and integration work
• is comfortable owning problems end-to-end
• stays calm and methodical when things are time-critical
• prefers meaningful technical challenges over polished roadmaps
• doesn't mind non-standard hours when the work justifies it

You'll be working closely with engineers, creatives, and operational teams, translating fast-moving requirements into robust, production-ready software.

The Work

The work typically involves:

• designing and building high-performance applications used in live environments
• integrating multiple data sources, APIs, and third-party systems
• optimising reliability and performance under real-world conditions
• contributing to architectural decisions and longer-term technical direction
• supporting deployments where timing and accuracy are critical

There is variety in the work, and no two projects are identical.

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• strong proficiency in one or more of: C++, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python
• experience with modern frameworks and APIs
• an understanding of real-time systems, data pipelines, or live production environments (broadcast, media, sport, or similar)
• strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Experience in live, broadcast, media, or event-driven environments is a plus, but not essential for the right mindset.

• US-based (remote or hybrid options depending on location)
• Some evening/weekend work is required due to the nature of live operations
• Competitive compensation and benefits, aligned with senior-level engineering roles
