Software Engineer

Permanent

Remote

Build Circle is a progressive technology consultancy partnering with scale-ups, SMEs and enterprise organisations to enhance business value, speed and quality.

As product-led consultants, we draw on real-world experience in scaling hypergrowth companies such as Just Eat and Moonpig.

We provide support by integrating principal-level staff to improve capability and culture, or by standing up whole teams to tackle complex challenges swiftly.

We also offer strategic guidance on architectural roadmaps, talent, hiring and scaling.

Our ethos rests on two core beliefs:

1. Engineering should focus primarily on delivering value.

2. We believe great people create great culture and great products.

Engineering excellence extends well beyond technical mastery - it is problem-focused, pragmatic, accountable and humble here at Build Circle.

Striking a balance between enhancements and swift delivery, we prioritise "getting things done" above all and take responsibility for owning delivery improvements as we go.

Flexibility is key to creating successful partnerships. We take a problem-first approach and work with organisations to tailor a strategy and partnership that will deliver the best outcome to their goals.
