Join a sme Offshore Staffing company as a Remote Software Engineer in Cambridge.
Offshore Staffing has quietly become one of the more technical corners of recruitment.
Clients expect platforms that match talent across time zones, handle compliance checks automatically, and don't fall over under real-world volume.
This SME has spent years building exactly that kind of infrastructure, and it needs a Remote Software Engineer who can keep improving it without breaking what already works.
The business is established but still growing, which means you'll inherit solid foundations rather than a blank page.
There's room to shape how things get built from here.
Here's what you'll be doing: Build and maintain features across the core staffing platform, working mostly in backend services with some front-end involvement Fix bugs raised by the support team and get to the root cause, not just the symptom Write clean, tested code and review pull requests from other engineers on the team Work with product and operations to turn vague requirements into shipped features Help maintain deployment pipelines and keep an eye on performance once things go live Document your work so the next person (possibly future you) isn't left guessing Here are the skills you'll need: Solid experience with at least one modern backend language (Node.
js, Python, or similar) and a willingness to learn what the team already uses Comfortable working with databases, APIs, and version control day to day Able to work independently as a Remote Software Engineer without someone checking in every hour Clear written communication.
Remote teams live or die on how well people explain themselves in text Curiosity about the Offshore Staffing sector and how recruitment technology actually gets used A practical streak.
You'd rather ship something solid than argue about the perfect architecture Key perks and benefits: Salary of £22,500 to £38,500, depending on experience Fully remote working, with flexibility built into how your week runs Private medical insurance and pension contribution Annual leave that respects actual rest, not just box-ticking Bonus schemes and genuine professional development opportunities as the company grows Why pursue a career in Offshore Staffing?
The sector is expanding fast as more companies look overseas to fill skills gaps, and the technology behind it needs engineers who understand both code and the people problems it solves.
Cambridge has become a natural base for this kind of work, sitting close to a deep talent pool and a tech scene that takes software seriously.
Good engineers in this space don't stay junior for long.
