Lead backend software development for an automated electronic circuit board design platform. Collaborate with product, hardware, algorithms, and software teams to plan, build, test, and iterate on solutions. Work across data models, algorithms, pipelines, infrastructure, APIs, database queries, and machine learning models. Co-design, review, and pair with other senior developers while promoting high-quality agile engineering practices.
Electronic circuit boards are at the core of current and future inventions - space travel, medical robotics, autonomous transportation, augmented reality, bio-engineering. Yet today designing an electronic circuit board is an extremely manual, long and tedious process. At Circuit Mind we believe that this is wrong and we are on a mission to fix it, triggering the future of hardware design.
We are creating an entirely new software engine for circuit boards, that takes as inputs the requirements of a circuit board and automatically outputs a complete design, ready for manufacture.
As a Lead Software Engineer, you’ll create simple and elegant solutions to difficult technical problems that the world has not solved before. You will work in close collaboration with a highly-functioning team of software, electronics, algorithm engineers and product managers.
Tasks
* Collaborate with the product team and in-house hardware engineers to understand the problems of hardware engineering teams.
* Plan, design, develop, test and iterate on the software solutions to those problems, accounting for functional and non-functional requirements.
* Co-design, pair on, and review the development work of other lead software developers.
* You’ll work on the entire company's backend code base: data models, algorithms, data pipelines, infrastructure, APIs, complex database queries, ML models.
* Learn, use, and improve best practices and processes for high-quality software development.
Our technology stack includes Python 3.11, PostgreSQL, Django, mypy, GraphQL, Docker, Redis, Typescript, React.
Requirements
We’re only considering exceptional candidates, with the following pre-requisites:
* 5+ years of professional software development experience.
* 2+ years of professional experience in Python.
* 2+ years in a senior software engineer position.
* Strong communication and team-work skills.
* Experience working in an agile software development environment.
Nice-to-haves
* Experience in a tech lead position.
* An interest in electronic engineering.
Benefits
* Collaboration with a friendly world-class team.
* Above market rate salary and meaningful equity.
* 25 days of annual holidays plus bank holidays.
* Flexible working hours with two days a week in the office.
* 5 weeks per year to work wherever you want in the world.
* London Bridge office.
* Extended parental leave.
* Learning and development budget to support your professional development.
* Yearly retreat.
* Access to Circuit Mind's cutting edge EDA platform.
