Software Engineer

I’m working with an established software company as they look to hire a Senior Software Engineer to strengthen their engineering team.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust backend systems, taking ownership of complex development work, and helping drive engineering standards forward.

C++ is the core language, but the team is forward-thinking and this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to keep progressing and learn modern languages like Rust and Go over time.

What you’ll need

• Strong commercial experience with C++ in production environments
• Proven ability to deliver reliable, scalable software
• Experience working across Linux and Windows
• Confident owning work across the full lifecycle: design, build, test, documentation, support
• Strong debugging skills and an engineering mindset focused on quality and performance
• Comfortable working in a Git + Atlassian based workflow (or similar)

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Mentoring/leading other engineers via code reviews and technical guidance
• Exposure to modern languages such as Rust / Go
• Experience improving performance, stability, and maintainability across mature systems

What can you expect?

• Writing and maintaining modern C++ code
• Taking ownership of key systems and delivering new improvements end-to-end
• Contributing to technical design and architecture discussions
• Improving development practices through reviews, testing, and engineering standards
• Helping junior engineers develop through support and mentoring
• Long-term scope to broaden into Rust / Go depending on your interests

What can you expect in return?

• Salary up to £65,000
• Strong overall benefits package - 15%+ Bonus, Profit Share & up to 10% pension. 
• Hybrid working with a Sunbury-on-Thames base - Occasional office attendance
• A senior role with genuine ownership, autonomy, and long-term progression
