Job Description
Founding Engineer / Remote-First (UK) - Infrequent travel to Cambridge or London / £90,000-£100,000
We're hiring a Founding Engineer for an emerging deep-tech organisation operating at the intersection of software analysis, compilers, and developer tooling. Their platform, built from cutting-edge PhD research, automatically analyses complex C/C++ codebases and provides developers with meaningful, actionable insights. With expansion into Java on the horizon, this is a rare opportunity to influence the core engine of a next-generation code-intelligence product.
You'll act as a critical early member of the engineering team, working closely with the technical founder and a small group of full-stack engineers. This is a deeply hands-on role where you'll architect and build compiler frameworks, analysis pipelines, and automated bug-detection tooling that will underpin the entire platform.
What do we need from you?
Strong experience with compiler frameworks such as LLVM/Clang, Soot, WALA, Spoon, JavaParser, CodeQL, Infer, Qodana etc.
Background in program analysis, including static or dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, or code-understanding tooling.
Strong engineering capability in C++ or Java (C++ is priority; Java analysis forms part of future roadmap).
Experience with frontend compiler tooling, AST manipulation, IR, code transformation, or similar.
Background in automated software testing or building testing/analysis automation.
Ability to tackle deeply technical problems with high levels of ownership and independence.Nice to have:
Experience working in organisations focused on compilers, code analysis, developer tooling, or embedded systems.
Exposure to companies operating in the chip, systems, static analysis, or security tooling space
Knowledge of embedded or low-level systems engineering.
Role Overview:
As Founding Engineer, you'll build, shape, and own the program-analysis core of the product.
You'll collaborate closely with the founder (a specialist in program analysis) and research-aligned engineers, ensuring the architecture is scalable, performant, and extensible as the platform evolves.
You'll be instrumental in defining the engineering standards, technical direction, and underlying architecture for complex analysis pipelines. This role is ideal for someone who wants to influence product direction, experiment with innovative tooling, and work on challenges typically found only in advanced research settings.
Key Focus Areas:
Build and mature the platform's compiler frontends and AST tooling
Implement scalable static and dynamic analysis techniques
Develop automated bug-finding, code quality checks, and safety tooling
Contribute to C/C++ reverse-engineering capabilities (with Java later)
Design robust architectures for large-scale code analysis
Collaborate across interface, microservice, and platform-level components
What's in it for you?
The chance to own and shape the core engine of a deep-tech developer tooling product
Founding-level influence on architecture, technical stack, and direction
Solve highly technical, research-level challenges with real-world impact
Remote-first flexibility, with future presence in Cambridge or London
Competitive salary between £90,000-£100,000, depending on experience
Equity at founding engineer level
Join a culture driven by innovation, academic rigour, and engineering excellenceApplications for the role will close by Friday 28th November. If this role is of interest and you'd like to find out more, please get in touch with Dominic Brown / send your CV
