Job description

Graduate / Junior / Mid Software Engineer - Build complex software tools - Deep-Tech

Requirements

  • You hold a Computer Science degree (or similar)

  • You’ve got some knowledge of C (systems or embedded) and Python. (If you’ve dived deep into debugger / compiler internals, JITs, kernel APIs, x86 or assembly - even better)

  • You like low-level or embedded systems and are either a graduate or someone with a few years of experience

  • You’re as comfortable thinking about the “big picture” architecture as you are grinding through tricky debugging

About the company

If you’re the kind of engineer who thrives on solving very hard problems, is interested in compilers or debuggers, can write low level C code, and wants to work on novel technology that rewrites the rulebook for how software gets built - this might be the role you’ve been looking for. A Cambridge based Deep-Tech company with a world-class team is looking for a low level / Systems Software Engineer that will be working with like minded others on new features for their core product. They value technical excellence, creative problem-solving, and the kind of curiosity that means you’re always digging deeper and perhaps interested in how the OS works. What you’ll do:

  • Own core features and technical projects (mostly C on Linux) with some Python for UI

  • Focus on code quality as part of development - reviewing, refactoring, and writing new features

  • Collaborate with a top tier engineers doing everything from code reviews to complex bug hunts

  • Solve intellectually stimulating problems and be mentored by world class engineers, * Collaborate with brilliant people who care deeply about what they build

  • Shape products used by the world’s most important technology companies

  • Office-based or hybrid role in Cambridge with one of the best company cultures around with career progression prioritized
