Key skills for this role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and scale the core systems that power VulnCheck’s vulnerability intelligence platform. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll own critical services and data pipelines end-to-end—from design through production.
You’ll play a key role in shaping architecture, improving system performance and reliability, and delivering features that directly impact customers. While you’ll help resolve production issues, your focus will be on building durable, scalable solutions that prevent them. Although this is a 100% remote role, candidates must be located in or around Cheltenham, United Kingdom.
