Software Engineer – Infrastructure & Systems
London | £120k–£150k + Equity | On-site (5 days/week)
We’re working with a stealthy but seriously impressive startup that’s rebuilding the data warehouse from the ground up—designed for complex, multimodal data like time-series, geospatial, point clouds, genomics, video, and more.
This is a rare opportunity to join a small, world-class engineering team (ex-Palantir, Citadel) at the early stages of a deep-tech journey. They’ve secured significant backing, have a 7+ year runway, and are tackling bold infrastructure problems that blend cutting-edge open source with proprietary cloud architecture.
They’re now hiring a systems-focused engineer to help build out the core storage engine and distributed infrastructure.
The work spans:
