This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in hands-on build mode, and who can scale technical delivery without losing speed, quality, or ownership. If this is interesting, we would love to hear from you! ### About Accelerate People Accelerate People is a venture of Blenheim Chalcot, a global venture builder with 26+ years of experience building GenAI-enabled companies across FinTech, EdTech, GovTech, and more. Accelerate People (AP) is the UK's largest Ofqual-accredited End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) for digital skills, also delivering across leadership and management, and HR. Founded in 2019 by Sam Sawyer, AP has completed over 8,000 assessments with a pass rate exceeding 95%. Our assessors bring real industry experience, designing assessments around real-world scenarios. We work end to end with leading UK training providers — from apprentice webinars to curriculum guidance — to deliver strong outcomes for all stakeholders. Our engineers build and own large-scale, business-critical platforms end to end, solving real problems with data, AI, and thoughtful engineering. Genuine ownership, not just tickets to close. ### The role We’re hiring Senior Software Engineers to build scalable products, tools, and systems across our portfolio companies. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in hands-on engineering, writes maintainable code, and is deeply motivated by solving real-world problems with technology. You’ll work closely with product and engineering colleagues in both Mumbai and London, driving delivery within a specific business. If you're passionate about engineering craft, product-led development, and delivering systems that scale, we’d love to hear from you. ### Behaviours that we look for - Solve problems rigorously, not reactively - breaking them down into tractable elements and considering multiple paths to resolution. - Write clean, defensive code with clear structure and minimal complexity. - Think about testing and observability early, automating meaningful tests and implementing relevant metrics/logging. - Design systems for operations, not just development - considering CI/CD, resilience, cost, and scalability from day one. - Use data to guide decisions, validating design impact, performance, and real user outcomes. ### Key responsibilities Working within our Engineering Centre of Excellence in Mumbai, you can expect to: - Build and maintain scalable services, data pipelines, and backend systems. - Write readable, efficient code and collaborate closely in code reviews. - Automate robust test coverage (unit, integration, and/or contract tests). - Implement data models used by analysts and ML teams; ensure schema evolution and data integrity are maintained. - Participate in system design sessions and contribute to architectural discussions. - Debug production issues across multiple services and layers of the stack. - Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-aware development practices. ### Opportunity This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers looking to step up their scope and impact. You’ll join a collaborative team with exposure to modern engineering practices, GenAI-enabled systems, and business-critical data products. You'll be part of a global network, shaping real customer outcomes. ### About you We are seeking to onboard candidates with a proven track record in engineering, demonstrating strong technical leadership skills and a passion for building high-quality, scalable products. Excellent teamwork, adaptability, and a strategic mindset are essential to being successful in this role. ### The Ideal Candidate We are looking for candidates who bring: - Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java). - Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases; schema design and query optimisation. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
