Senior Software Engineer

Board Intelligence is Europe's largest board technology and advisory firm, trusted by more than 80,000 leaders across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. We transform how boards work through AI-powered software and services that improve the efficiency of board processes and the effectiveness of boards. 

In 2024, we secured substantial investment from K1 Investment Management, a leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, positioning us for our next phase of significant growth. We're expanding our product portfolio, deepening our market presence, and building the team that will define the future of board transformation technology. 

As we scale, we're fiercely protective of what makes us special: brilliant people who care deeply about the work, operate with a collaborative mindset, and are genuinely motivated by our mission to help decision-makers build better businesses that benefit society. If you thrive in environments where ambition meets purpose, you'll feel right at home. 

The Role 

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help modernise and evolve our core product, owning the delivery of end-to-end features that have a direct impact on customers and the business. 

You’ll work across the tech stack, contribute to technical direction, and help raise engineering standards while partnering closely with Product and Design. This is a hands-on role focused on building a scalable, modern platform that can support future growth. 

Main Responsibilities  

• Owning the end-to-end delivery of complex features, from design to production 

• Contributing to the modernisation of the core platform (e.g. internationalisation, e-signing) 

• Making pragmatic technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability 

• Working across frontend and backend rather than specialising in a single layer 

• Supporting future initiatives such as AI-enabled features and portal modernisation 
• Writing high-quality, well-tested code and reviewing others’ work 

• Debugging and resolving production issues 
• Working closely with engineers, product managers, and designers 

• Sharing knowledge and supporting the growth of the team 

Who are we looking for? 

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help modernise and evolve Board Intelligence’s core platform, delivering high impact features that directly improve the experience for our customers and support the long-term growth of the business. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys end-to-end ownership, values strong engineering standards, and wants to build software that matters in a governance and board level context. We’re looking for someone with 

• Strong experience in at least one high-level language (Ruby, Python, TypeScript, etc.) 

• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, etc.) 

• Proven ability to deliver features independently across the full stack 

• Strong experience with Ruby or React (nice to have) 

• Familiarity with Docker / Kubernetes (nice to have)  

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (nice to have)  

You will be a great fit if: 

• You are a thoughtful problem solver: 
• We operate in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve, and complex challenges are the norm. You bring sound judgement, strong technical foundations, and the ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence. 
• You are product minded: 
• You care about building the right thing, not just building things right. You enjoy working closely with Product and Design, understanding customer needs, and delivering features that create meaningful value for senior decision makers. 
• You take ownership end to end: 
• You are comfortable owning delivery from initial design through to production. You do not wait for perfect conditions, and you take responsibility for outcomes, balancing pace with quality and maintainability. 
• You enjoy working across the stack: 
• This role suits someone who likes variety and impact, contributing across frontend and backend rather than staying in a single layer. You bring a modern engineering mindset and enjoy building scalable platforms. 
• You raise the bar for engineering excellence 
• You write high quality, well tested code, provide thoughtful reviews, and help strengthen team standards. You care about sustainable delivery and leaving systems better than you found them. 
• You move with purpose and pragmatism 
• We value momentum, but not at the expense of sound decision making. You can make smart trade offs, deliver iteratively, and help modernise a core platform while keeping customers front of mind. 
• You are a collaborative teammate 
• We work closely across Engineering, Product, and Design. You share knowledge, support others, and contribute to a culture where high performance and mutual respect go hand in hand. 
• This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping a modern, scalable platform, supporting future initiatives including AI enabled capabilities, and helping Board Intelligence continue to lead in board transformation.
