Location London About the job Job summary Flexible working: This role is primarily office-based due to the nature of the work. However, flexible working arrangements are supported, including flexitime with flexible start and finish times, as well as the option to work compressed hours. About us MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats, such as terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people, and its way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing, and assessing intelligence, and work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ, to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses, and other organisations on how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you'll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security. Job description The role If you enjoy tackling complex technical challenges that genuinely make a difference, this role offers the opportunity to see the impact of your work every day. As a Senior Infrastructure Field Engineer, you'll be part of a specialist team responsible for designing, installing and maintaining the intelligence-gathering solutions we rely on. Leading a core workstream, you'll support multiple mission areas across MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, delivering bespoke solutions for a range of high-priority requirements. Whether you're enabling data retrieval from large, intricate networks or building relationships across the organisation, you'll help drive an expanding remit and play a vital role in keeping the UK safe. Day-to-day, the role involves designing, installing, configuring and managing remote infrastructure such as firewalls, routers, switches and servers as well as investigating technical issues. Close collaboration with internal stakeholders is required to understand and meet their unique requirements. Responsibilities include contributing to the development and implementation of automation systems and supporting the administration of the multi-vendor environment. Opportunities are also available to undertake individual project work in relevant technical areas, subject to alignment with the team's work and priorities. Upon completion of all relevant training, you'll also have the opportunity to join our on-call rota. Participation is optional, and for the majority of the time, work outside of core hours is voluntary. On the rare occasion that the team is short-staffed, you may be required to act as cover. The role also offers a unique opportunity to work with colleagues in industry, often at the cutting edge of networking technologies. There may also be opportunities to attend international events, such as conferences, once or twice a year. This role attracts specialist capability-based pay in recognition of cyber technical expertise. Based on skills and experience assessed at interview, appointment may be made at a higher salary point within the stated range. Retention of any higher salary is subject to demonstrating and accrediting the required skills against the Cyber Technical Framework within the first year of employment. Support will be provided to achieve this. As skills develop, there are opportunities to progress further within the pay range. Person specification About you While no specific qualifications are required for this role, you will already have extensive experience working in network engineering within a technical industry environment. You'll bring a solid foundation in designing network solutions, with the confidence to operate across large-scale, mission critical infrastructure. In particular, you'll be able to demonstrate expertise in several of the following areas: Network design, architecture and transmission technologies, supporting resilient and high-performance network solutions. Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies, including protocols, MAC and IP addressing, BGP and VPNs. Fibre optic networking, with practical experience of wavelengths, multiplexing (MUX), transponders and long-haul transmission technologies. Automation, scripting and systems administration, including use of GNU/Linux operating systems at the command line, automation tools such as Ansible, and at least one scripting or programming language (for example, Bash or Python). Alongside this, you'll have practical experience configuring and managing network devices within live environments, applying charges safely and effectively, and supporting the ongoing operation and evolution of complex network infrastructures. Importantly, you'll have a genuine interest in cyber and global datacentre interconnection and a desire to bring your enthusiasm to a new environment. You might already have industry accreditations such as from Red Hat, Arista, Juniper, Cisco; if not, we'll support you in gaining these once in the role. A commitment to ongoing learning and professional development is essential. As someone comfortable working on projects within cross-functional teams, you'll demonstrate proven problem-solving skills and the ability to clearly communicate internet infrastructure concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Given the collaborative nature of the role, you'll be an effective and confident communicator, able to build good working relationships with colleagues, customers, partners, and stakeholders at all levels. You'll need to meet the physical requirements of the role, which may include lifting, carrying, and moving equipment. Please note that a fitness assessment will be conducted by occupational health as part of the application process.

You will be responsible for ensuring the platform and related services are operable, reliable and secure, with the tooling, environments and practices needed for teams to build, deploy and run integrations effectively. You will help establish strong engineering practices, CI/CD pipelines, observability and operational controls that support consistent and scalable integration delivery across the organisation. Justice Data Factories The second role will focus on Justice Data Factories, our federated data architecture initiative. Justice Data Factories provide agency-specific environments where data is ingested, transformed and published as trusted data products, enabling domains across the Ministry of Justice to take greater ownership of their data while operating within a consistent, governed architectural framework. You will play a key role in developing and operating the platform capabilities, infrastructure and engineering practices that underpin this ecosystem. Working closely with data engineers, architects and product teams, you will ensure the platform is secure, scalable and reliable, while driving improvements in automation, CI/CD, observability and operational resilience to support the delivery of data products at scale.

Description London, UK Hybrid (3 days in our Paddington HQ: Mon, Tue, Fri) Stack: Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, React, TypeScript, MySQL, AWS In 2018 we set out to solve a problem millions of people faced: not just struggling with their skin, but struggling to navigate skincare at all. We combined dermatology, pharmacy and technology into something simpler and genuinely personalised, and proved expert-led care could reach people who'd never had access to it. Today, +Me is the company behind Skin + Me, Hair + Me and Renew + Me , with more on the horizon. We're not building a single brand. We're building a category. We've delivered millions of treatments, we're profitable and growing fast, and we're expanding the engineering team to match. What you'll build You ll join the team behind our core commerce and clinical journey: the ecom stack, consultation engine, patient and prescription systems, and order generation. This is where customers discover us, complete a clinical consultation, subscribe, and receive their personalised treatment, at real consumer scale. On our Python and React stack, that's the storefront behind Skin + Me and Hair + Me, our flagship brands serving customers at scale. We're hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to own features end-to-end across this system in our Python / Flask / React stack: backend services and data models through to the customer-facing frontend, with the judgement to make sound architectural calls as we scale to more brands and more customers. What you'll do Own features end-to-end: from Python/Flask services and data schemas to the React frontend, across systems like checkout, subscriptions, and the consultation-to-prescription flow. Scale what's working: keep the platform fast, correct and resilient through new brand launches and rising volume, and make the architectural calls that keep it that way. Lift the team: clean, well-tested code and honest reviews that help the engineers around you ship with confidence. What we're looking for Depth and breadth: strong, recent, hands-on full-stack experience. You're genuinely capable across backend and frontend, not just one side. Engineering judgement: clean code, clear API design, sound data modelling, and the instinct to pick the simple, robust solution over the clever one. Shipped impact: features you owned and shipped that moved something real for customers or the business. Care where it counts: correctness isn't negotiable when your code decides what treatment a patient receives. The stack: production command of Python (Flask) and React/TypeScript; relational databases (MySQL ideal) with SQLAlchemy/Alembic; comfort with AWS and Docker. Clear communication: most of our work happens in PRs, design docs and async decisions, so writing clearly matters. Roughly 6+ years building software in production. We read for depth and shipped impact, not years. How we work We're a small, experienced engineering team working closely with product, clinical and operations. We care about craft: clean code, honest reviews, and owning what you ship through to production. And because our software turns a clinical consultation into a real prescription and a treatment someone receives, correctness and care aren't optional here. They're the job. How we use AI Agentic tools like Claude Code and Codex are a standard part of how we work, and we're leaning into them hard: we automate the routine so we can spend our energy on the harder problems. You'll need to be comfortable working this way, and real skill with these tools is a genuine advantage we value. But it's a multiplier on strong engineering judgement, not a substitute for it, and never a prerequisite. If it's newer to you and you're keen to grow, we'll back you. Compensation & benefits We pay competitive base salaries and back them with meaningful equity, so your upside grows with the company you're helping build. Equity: a meaningful stake in a profitable, Series B-backed business that's growing fast, with flexibility on your cash/equity mix. Time off: 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Hybrid & flexible: three days together in Paddington (Mon, Tue, Fri), remote Wed/Thu, core hours 10-4 with flexibility around them. Fuelled: free breakfast and lunch on office days, plus snacks and drinks. Growth: a £500 annual personal development budget. Family & health: healthcare cash plan, cycle-to-work, and a workplace nursery scheme (save tax/NI on childcare). The extras: a dog-friendly HQ (two resident pups), an active Culture Club, and heavily discounted products for you and 10 friends & family. How we hire We keep it short and respect your time: Intro call with our engineers (25-30 mins), including a short system-design chat. A conversation with our Director of Software Engineering (30 mins). A practical take-home task, in your own time. Onsite at our Paddington HQ to review your task and meet the team. Great engineers come from all kinds of backgrounds. If this resonates, even if you don't tick every box, we'd love to hear from you. Sound like you? We'd love to hear from you.
