Software Engineer (Guildford, Surrey)

Job Title: Software Engineer

🕒 Flexible Hours 🌍 Purpose-Driven Culture💡 Cutting-Edge Projects

Why This Role Stands Out

• Small Team, Big Impact: Work directly with the IT Director (a hands-on developer) and an infrastructure specialist – your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll shape the future.
• Tech-Forward Culture: Embrace AI-assisted coding and testing tools to accelerate development, testing and deployment.
• A Breadth of Exciting Projects: From AI-powered analytics and Bluetooth tracking to route optimization and custom API development, you’ll be solving real-world problems with modern tech.
• Flexible Workstyle: Choose your start time (from 7am onwards) and look forward to a planned 4-day week, every other week, from 2026.
• Socially Responsible: Be part of a company that’s raised nearly £1M for charity and that actively supports local communities and environmental initiatives.
