Software & Automation Software Engineer Permanent / Full-Time London, UK View position

Overview

Vorboss is building London's next-generation business fibre network. We seek smart, talented people to join us as we grow, with a focus on engineering excellence and superb customer service trusted by organisations across the UK and Europe.

We aim to maintain our strong reputation by fostering a tight-knit, high-performing team that takes responsibility and champions collective success. Our vision is to be the best job that someone ever had, offering a supportive workplace based on respect and trust.

Role overview:

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our Software & Automation team. This role goes beyond a narrow ticket-based job; the ideal candidate thrives across a modern full stack, from React apps and APIs to low/no-code tools like Node-RED and Airtable. They enjoy experimenting with LLMs and agents and tinker with side projects outside work.

We value technical curiosity, craftsmanship, and a pragmatic approach: always do the right thing technically, while recognising when debt reduction is a prudent trade-off to move the business forward. Software should serve processes, and automation makes sense only when processes are sound.

Key responsibilities:

• Build across the stack: from low-code automations to polished React applications.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand problems and design solutions that improve efficiency.
• Explore and apply modern automation approaches, including LLM-powered agents.
• Contribute to the full software lifecycle: design, build, deploy, and support.
• Champion a mindset of "improving how we build," for team practices and developer experience.
• API Design and Development: design and develop robust APIs with a strong emphasis on GraphQL.

The right candidate:

• Adaptability in a fast-paced environment: thrives in dynamic settings, comfortable with rapid changes, and maintains high performance under pressure.
• Proactive and self-motivated: takes initiative and learns new challenges independently.
• Takes responsibility: owns tasks and the product life cycle.
• Collaborative and solutions-oriented: effective cross-functional collaborator with strong communication skills.

Must-Have Skills:

• Strong experience in NodeJS and TypeScript.
• Strong experience with consuming and developing GraphQL APIs.
• Strong experience with React or other frontend frameworks.
• Experience with relational databases.
• Experience with containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC tooling, and public cloud platforms.
• Experience with graph databases and low & no-code tools.
• Familiarity with digital design tools such as Figma.
• Familiarity with schema-first database development, especially with Prisma ORM.
• Experience with graph databases, such as Neo4j.

Diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities:

We aim to be an equal opportunities employer and ensure no applicant or employee is treated unfairly on grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, race, or any other protected characteristic. We strive for a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation, and unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, with training on rights and responsibilities under our equality, diversity, and inclusion policy. Vorboss promotes step-free access at our main headquarters and seeks to mitigate barriers across sites.

We offer a range of staff benefits, including an Employee Share Plan, company pension, 25 days of annual leave (plus increases with years served), access to mental health support, cycle to work, subsidised gym memberships, free eye tests, and a salary management tool. Terms apply for some benefits.
