Software Engineer
UK Based | Remote Friendly | Sheffield HQ
£35,000 to £70,000 depending on level
A high-growth engineering consultancy is expanding its software team as it scales from 40 to 100 staff over the next 12 to 18 months.
This is not a maintenance role. This is an opportunity to build technically complex systems from scratch, often at the intersection of software and hardware, across cutting-edge sectors including biotech, quantum computing, heavy industry and government-backed R&D.
Due to significant inbound demand, they are turning away work and are now hiring across multiple levels.
The Role
You will work in small, multidisciplinary teams delivering bespoke engineering solutions. Projects are technically challenging and require strong engineering fundamentals, production-quality code and real ownership.
This environment suits engineers who enjoy solving complex problems rather than simply implementing tickets.
Depending on experience, opportunities are available at:
• Graduate Software Engineer
• Senior Software Engineer
• Senior Software Engineer 2
They are flexible on title for exceptional candidates.

• C++
• Python
• JavaScript or TypeScript
• Frontend and backend development
Desirable experience:
• Firmware or microcontrollers
• Hardware integration
• LLM tools or AI-assisted development
• UX or interface thinking
Strong engineeringprinciples matter more than matching every technology exactly.

Graduate level:
• Strong fundamentals
• Demonstrable coding ability
• Curiosity and fast learning capability
Senior level:
• 3+ years commercial experience
• Experience delivering production systems
• Strong ownership and accountability
Senior 2 level:

Engineers already commute from locations such as Bristol and York.
Why Join
• High-growth environment with strong funding backing
• Complex, meaningful engineering challenges
• Direct access to leadership
• Opportunity to shape a scaling team
• Genuine demand and project volume
This is an engineering-led environment that values quality, intellectual honesty and high standards.
If you are looking to build real systems with impact rather than maintain legacy code, this is a rare opportunity to join at an exciting stage of growth.
