We're working with a rapidly scaling global payments organisation that is building out a dedicated DevOps function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join early, influence the culture, and leave a real mark on how a complex, high-throughput technology estate is built and operated. The Opportunity: You'll be a key technical contributor in establishing a world-class CI/CD capability across on-premise and multi-cloud environments. The role touches everything from pipeline architecture and infrastructure-as-code to security gates, release automation, and cross-team enablement. You'll work closely with software teams to instil DevOps principles and drive a push-button deployment culture. This role is based on greenfield DevOps transformation, with the autonomy to make the right calls. What Makes It Interesting: • Build and shape a CI/CD platform from the ground up - real ownership, not inherited tech debt, • Work across a polyglot engineering environment (.NET, Java) and multi-cloud infrastructure, • Drive automation that directly reduces risk in a regulated payments environment, • Collaborative culture that values outcomes, initiative, and engineering craft over process, • Real scope to grow as the DevOps function scales What You'll Be Doing: • Design, build, and maintain reusable CI/CD pipelines with built-in quality and security gates, • Drive automation that eliminates manual build, test, and deployment steps, • Define and implement IaC strategies using Terraform and Ansible, • Partner with engineering teams to embed DevOps principles and toolchain standards, • Ensure platform security through best-in-class secrets management and cloud security controls, • Monitor and improve platform reliability using delivery metrics (deployment frequency, MTTR, change failure rate), • Evaluate new tooling and provide technical guidance on architecture and process improvements What We're Looking For: • 3–5 years of hands-on CI/CD and DevOps experience, • Strong experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins, • Solid Terraform and Ansible skills for infrastructure and configuration as code, • Cloud experience across one or more of AWS, Azure, or GCP, • Understanding of containerisation (Docker), secrets management, and pipeline security practices, • Scripting in Python, JavaScript, or similar, • Strong understanding of networking, SSL, VPN, and certificate lifecycle management, • Linux and Windows OS experience Advantageous: • Experience across two or more of AWS, Azure, and OCI, • GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Actions expertise, • Cloudflare configuration and management, • Familiarity with Artifactory, Cloudsmith, or similar package management tools, • Exposure to .NET and Java technology stacks This role will suit someone who is comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering and operations - someone who enjoys enabling developer velocity as much as they enjoy solving infrastructure problems.

Some engineering roles are about building something entirely new. Others are about taking a product that already solves real problems at scale and helping shape what comes next. This sits firmly in the second category. We’re working with a SaaS business operating in the information security, compliance and governance space. Their platform helps organisations navigate complex standards and regulatory requirements, replacing fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes with something structured, auditable and scalable. They’ve already built a product with market traction, an established customer base, and a platform used by organisations where trust, security and compliance matter. Now the challenge becomes how that platform evolves technically as both regulation and technology continue to shift. AI is a big part of that. As organisations adopt AI more aggressively, the conversation moves beyond “can we use it?” towards “how do we govern it responsibly?”. Auditability, traceability, risk management and operational oversight are becoming core engineering and product challenges, not just compliance exercises. That creates an interesting environment for engineers. You're joining a business already operating at scale, where the focus is now on evolving the platform, improving engineering capability, and building systems that support the next generation of governance and compliance challenges. Why this role is interesting: A product with real commercial traction → established SaaS platform already solving meaningful customer problems → giving you the opportunity to work on systems used in genuinely operational environments Interesting technical and domain complexity → governance, auditability, workflow management and compliance at scale → creating engineering problems tied directly to real-world business risk AI governance shaping future platform direction → rapidly evolving standards creating new product and engineering challenges → giving engineers influence over how the platform evolves technically Engineering maturity without excessive bureaucracy → established enough to have meaningful scale and structure → while still being small enough for engineers to have visible impact A business where technology is central to growth → product and engineering sit close to the core commercial strategy → rather than operating as a support function You’ll: • Build and evolve backend services primarily using Python., • Work closely with product and engineering teams on how the platform develops., • Contribute to architectural and technical decision making., • Improve scalability, reliability and maintainability across the platform., • Help evolve engineering standards, tooling and development practices over time., • Work on problems tied to governance, compliance and increasingly AI-related operational challenges. What we’re looking for: • Approx. 5 years+ Python engineering experience within modern SaaS environments., • Experience building scalable backend systems and APIs., • Solid understanding of relational databases, distributed systems and cloud environments., • Strong engineering fundamentals and a pragmatic approach to delivery., • Engineers who enjoy solving product and business problems, not just writing code in isolation., • Experience within compliance, security, governance or regulated environments beneficial but not essential. Location: UK Remote-first, with periodic team meetups in England South. Package: Up to £90k per annum + package. If this looks like a role for you, please apply now

Moodsonic uses sound to improve how indoor spaces feel. Our platform delivers adaptive soundscapes for workplaces, hospitals, universities, and other shared environments shaping daily life, integrating with hardware, building systems, and an array of applications to respond dynamically to activity levels, time of day, environmental sensors, and user input. The work sits at the intersection of audio, real-time systems, and human experience. The role We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the backend that the entire product stack sits on: services, data layer, identity and authentication infrastructure, partner-facing integration APIs, device communication, and the security posture. You will own, evolve, and build the systems that power our internal tooling, customer-facing applications, partner integrations, and hardware deployments, strengthening what is already in production and shipping what comes next. You will be the technical lead on production engineering, security, and code quality, building on the foundations the team has put in place. As Moodsonic scales, you will keep the platform safe, reliable, and defensible. You are joining a team where colleagues hold deep domain knowledge. You will need to build trust, collaborate well, and lead through influence rather than authority. This is not a management role. The platform is live and growing quickly, with real customers and real consequences. What you'll work on In your first six to twelve months: • Own and evolve the backend platform: services, data layer, infrastructure, APIs. Strengthen what is in production today, design what is missing, and build what comes next, • Own the backend side of how our deployed hardware connects to the platform: ingestion, device authentication, fleet management, and remote provisioning. Visibility and input into on-device code decisions, because device security is platform security, • Own the identity, authentication, and account layer of the platform, • Own and operate our data protection posture across the platform: encryption in transit and at rest, key management, data lifecycle, and recovery, • Own the partner-facing integration APIs end to end, from design through operation. These are the surfaces our customers and hardware partners build against, and their reliability is our reputation, • Own the engineering practices that support our certifications and audit-readiness, • Establish and maintain the engineering standards (testing, review, deployment, monitoring, secure coding) that the team operates by, • Partner with the engineers owning the audio engine and frontend surface on the backend contracts their work depends on What we are looking for Required: • 5+ years shipping and operating production backend systems, including time on-call and in incident response. You know what it feels like when something breaks at 2am and you own the fix, • Operational resilience as a habit: you design for failure, build with recovery in mind, and treat incident learning as a driver of engineering quality, • Strong judgment in small-team environments. You have owned quality yourself rather than inheriting it from process. You can take high-level product, customer, or security needs and turn them into practical technical plans without a big PM or architecture layer handing you a spec, • Deep relational data modeling and schema design. Postgres or equivalent as a daily tool. Strong instincts for migrations, indexing, and query performance under load, • API design experience: you have built and maintained APIs that outlived their first version and you have opinions about versioning, compatibility, and contract discipline, • Identity and authentication systems experience: modern identity protocols (OAuth or similar), session management, role-based access, multi-tenant boundaries. You understand what breaks when these are wrong, • Security mindset in practice, not theory. You think about attack surface, threat models, and access control as a matter of course, with working knowledge of cryptography and data protection fundamentals, • Code quality and observability as habits. Tests, substantive review, documentation, and the instinct to measure how software behaves in production are part of doing the work, not chores after it, • Strong Python for backend services. Comfortable with SQL, Docker, at least one major cloud, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent), and modern CI/CD practices, • Modern AI development tools are part of how you ship. You stay current as they evolve, adopt what adds value, and use AI to go faster on work you already understand, which is why you catch AI mistakes before they become bugs, • Demonstrated technical leadership through influence, not authority: you raise the bar through code review, standards, and example, and you have earned trust from engineers who were there before you, • Pride in craft, proactive risk-flagging, and the instinct to raise quality bars rather than work around them. Intellectual honesty and the willingness to push back when the right answer is unpopular, • Clear written and verbal communication, particularly when working asynchronously across time zones Valued: • Designing systems that interface with deployed hardware: device fleets, provisioning flows, secure OTA updates, telemetry ingestion, • Shipping to enterprise customers, incident response commitments, and contractual security obligations, • Experience inside a compliance-driven environment (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or equivalent) or building for auditability as a default, • Kubernetes and modern container orchestration, • Additional backend language fluency (Node or TypeScript, Go, Rust) for polyglot service work, • Audio, signal processing, or real-time systems background, • AI and machine learning in product contexts: audio generation, personalization engines, training and serving pipelines Not required but welcome: • Interest in sound, music, acoustics, or the wellbeing applications of audio Team and how we work You will join a small, senior team distributed across the UK, Europe, and the US West Coast. We run a weekly product cadence, work asynchronously by default, and rely on clear written communication to stay aligned across time zones. Compensation and benefits Base salary £65,000 to £85,000, calibrated to experience. Equity will be a material part of the package. Benefits include private medical insurance for UK employees, 28 days paid holiday inclusive of UK holidays, flexible remote-first working. UK right to work is required. How to apply Send a short note, your CV, and links to work you are proud of. Please include three to five sentences on a production system, API, identity/auth, or platform hardening project you owned.
