Lead Software Engineer

New Yesterday

Job Description

Lead Software Engineer: Cyber Startup

Location: London (or can easily commute for two days per month to London headquarter)


We're partnering with a well-funded, cybersecurity intelligence company building a next-generation third-party and supply chain risk platform.


They are now looking to bring on a lead software engineer - someone who wants real ownership, architectural influence, and the chance to help shape the company.


The Opportunity

You’ll join as a Senior Lead Software Engineer, working closely with the Director of Engineering to:

  • Design and build scalable backend services (TypeScript/Node.js + Python)
  • Architect systems that ingest and process large-scale intelligence data
  • Own and evolve AWS infrastructure
  • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code
  • Establish engineering standards, patterns and best practices
  • Influence architectural direction as the platform matures
  • Help hire and mentor future engineers


Strong backend focus, but you’re comfortable contributing across the stack when needed.


What They’re Looking For

  • 4+ years backend experience (strong TypeScript/Node.js + Python)
  • Hands-on AWS infrastructure experience in production environments
  • Comfortable owning problems end-to-end
  • Someone who cares about doing things properly from day one


Why This Role Is Different

  • Direct influence over architecture and engineering culture
  • Meaningful equity upside
  • Product solving real-world cyber, supply-chain and financial risk challenges
  • Opportunity to build the backbone of a platform entering rapid growth


If you’re currently in a larger org and miss real ownership - or you’re in a startup and want something more technically ambitious - this is worth a conversation.
