## About the Role

As their product continues to gain traction, an opportunity has arisen for an additional Senior Back-End Software Engineer within the Cambridge-based development team. A strong all-rounder, this key employee would have the breadth of experience to quickly come up to speed with the company's technology stack and to help lead the engineering effort. The role would involve software design and implementation across the full development lifecycle, with an emphasis on back end and systems aspects of their own hosting solutions, but you will also be involved with development of other components, making this quite a varied role., * An impressive track record of professional software engineering, demonstrating your adaptability to different technology stacks, problem solving ability, and zeal for digging into details to overcome technical challenges.
