As a Founding Engineer, I’ll rely on you to build, shape, and own the program-analysis core of our product. You will collaborate closely with our founder (a specialist in program analysis) and research-aligned engineers, ensuring the architecture is scalable, performant, and extensible as our platform evolves. You will play a crucial role in defining our engineering standards, technical direction, and the architecture for complex analysis pipelines. Your contributions will allow you to influence product direction, experiment with innovative tooling, and address challenges typically encountered only in advanced research settings.
Description
In this role, you will focus on: - Building and maturing the platform’s compiler frontends and AST tooling. - Implementing scalable static and dynamic analysis techniques. - Developing automated bug-finding, code quality checks, and safety tooling. - Contributing to C/C++ reverse-engineering capabilities with future plans for Java. - Designing robust architectures for large-scale code analysis. - Collaborating across interface, microservice, and platform-level components. You will enjoy the chance to own and shape the core engine of our deep-tech developer tooling product, have founding-level influence on architecture and technical stack, and tackle highly technical challenges with real-world impact. We offer remote-first flexibility, a competitive salary between £90,000–£100,000 depending on experience, equity at the founding engineer level, and a culture driven by innovation, academic rigor, and engineering excellence.
