Software Engineer

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

MasonOS coordinates our factory network across four countries. This role builds the part of it that makes decisions: which site takes an order, which supplier fills a gap, how the schedule changes when a machine goes down.

It is backend engineering with physical consequences. When the routing is wrong, metal sits still. You will have high ownership and real influence over the architecture, with travel to new sites when deploying MasonOS. The package includes equity.

• Build order routing across the sites in our network.
• Build supplier orchestration and the data behind it.
• Design backend architecture for more sites than we run today, not just the ones we have.
• Deploy MasonOS into new sites as the network grows, and adapt your abstractions when they meet a real shop floor.
• Set and defend the reliability standards for a system that production depends on.

What you bring

• Strong backend engineering fundamentals.
• Real experience with distributed systems.
• Good judgement about failure: what is allowed to degrade, and what must never break.
• Comfort working in high-security environments.
• Typically three or more years of professional experience, though we will consider exceptional early-career engineers who can add value quickly.
