You have built production-grade ELT/ETL pipelines and managed complex data transformations in cloud-first environments.
• Metrics & Integrity Focus: Experience building “source of truth” systems and a passion for data accuracy. You understand how to define and audit key business metrics to ensure they remain resilient to system changes. You have experience with data validation and reconciliation, comparing pipeline output against source systems and methodically diagnosing discrepancies.
• ML/AI Fuel: You have experience building data APIs, context systems, or feature stores that power downstream ML/AI applications.
• Architectural Judgment: You can spot over-engineering and under-engineering with equal confidence. You know how to design for resilience, modularity, and backwards compatibility. You prefer incremental milestones over big bang deliverables.
• Clear Communication: You can translate complex technical risks and trade-offs into business-relevant terms for senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
• AI-Native Workflow: You are an avid learner in general, and an adopter of AI engineering tools like Claude Code and Codex. You have experience directing AI agents to generate complete, high-quality solutions and apply your judgment to test and own the output.
• [highly preferred] Healthcare Domain Expertise: Demonstrable understanding of healthcare concepts, including revenue cycle management (RCM), billing, and insurance adjudication.

Mark43 is a public safety technology company trusted by over 200 police forces worldwide. We build cloud-native software on AWS that police forces and emergency services rely on in their most critical moments, from managing custody records to dispatching officers in the field.

Our UK team of 25 is based in Central Manchester, helping British police forces replace outdated, fragmented systems with modern, resilient software. We’re part of a 400-person global company, but the UK team operates with startup energy: small enough that your work is visible, big enough that you’re backed by serious investment.

We’re hiring Senior Software Engineers who want to build systems that genuinely matter.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work across the full stack, building the software that UK police custody suites depend on every day. Our team owns features end-to-end, from database migration to UI and our stack includes:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript
• Backend: Java, Spring Boot
• Data: MySQL, GraphQL
• Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Terraform
• Observability: Datadog

We’re also genuinely investing in how AI changes the way we build software. We don’t just use Copilot for autocomplete. We’re building agentic workflows into our development process, using tools like Claude Code to automate routine work, accelerate code review, and let engineers focus on the problems that actually need human judgement. If you’re excited about shaping how a team works with AI, not just using it, this is the place.

If you were on the team last week, you might have:

• Designed and shipped a new workflow for custody officers processing detainees, from GraphQL schema through to React components

• Investigated a production issue using Datadog traces and logs, then pushed a fix the same day

• Paired with a teammate to untangle a tricky state management problem in a booking form

• Built an agentic workflow that reviews PRs, learns from human feedback, and posts weekly engineering highlights to Slack, all automatically

• Managed a cross-team feature end-to-end — designed the architecture, broke work into parallel workstreams, and coordinated junior engineers to deliver on time

• Reviewed a pull request, spotted a change that would unintentionally affect other parts of the app, and directed a safer approach in the comments

• Prototyped a new idea at one of the hackathons we run twice a year, a chance to experiment with new tech, explore wild ideas, and ship something fun with no constraints

What You’ll Need

You write clean, maintainable code and care about the impact of your work. We’re an AI-first team. AI tools are part of how we work every day — writing code, reviewing pull requests, investigating issues, and automating routine work. We expect you to be comfortable working alongside AI and keen to push what’s possible with it.

You should have:

• Professional software engineering experience, including ownership of complex systems and delivery of large-scale technical initiatives

• Experience mentoring and supporting other engineers

• Strong technical judgement and the ability to make architectural decisions

• Experience leading projects across multiple teams or domains, influencing technical direction beyond your immediate area

• A strategic mindset, with the ability to balance immediate delivery with long-term technical health

• Experience with our stack: Java, JavaScript, TypeScript + React, and MySQL

• Experience with AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code and how they can improve your workflow

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability for both technical outcomes and team success

• Confidence operating in ambiguous environments and helping teams navigate technical trade-offs

• A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills

What We Offer

• 28 days holiday plus UK bank holidays

• Private medical, dental, and vision insurance through AXA Health and BUPA, fully paid for you and your dependents

• 18 weeks paid parental leave (gender-neutral, for both primary and secondary caregivers) plus a ramp-back programme

• Income protection (75% of salary) and death in service cover (4x salary), fully paid

• Pension through Nest with 3% employer contribution

• Gym reimbursement for you and your partner

• Equipment allowance to set up your home office

• AI tooling including Claude Code Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, and ChatGPT Enterprise licences provided

• Spring Health membership with therapy sessions and mental wellness tools, fully covered

• Company performance-based bonus

• Paid sabbatical of one month at your five-year anniversary

• Biannual hackathons, learning budget, and a team that genuinely invests in your growth

What We Value

• Humility. You know the best ideas win, no matter where they come from. You ask questions before making assumptions and you’re as happy being wrong as being right, because either way, the team gets to a better answer.

• Inclusivity. You respect expertise in all its forms and actively seek out perspectives different from your own. You make space for others and assume good intent.

• Excellence. You care about quality in your code, your reviews, and how you communicate. You’re not satisfied with “it works” when it could be better, and you encourage the same standard in those around you.

• Diligence. You take ownership, mind the details, and understand that the software we build is used in moments that genuinely matter. You don’t cut corners when people are depending on the outcome.

Principal Data Architect & Engineer

Why this Job?

Cedar is at a pivotal moment in its technical evolution. We are evolving towards a brand-new, enterprise data platform and model, architected specifically to power the future of Cedar’s product offerings.

• Design for the Future: Design data models for new product lines that expand Cedar’s presence across the full revenue cycle from pre-service through post-service collections.
• Build Production Code: You are a hands-on builder. You will write, ship, and maintain high-quality production code alongside our team of Data Engineers. You will personally model critical domains and implement the core patterns that the rest of the team will follow.
• Guide and Mentor Engineers: Act as the technical role model for a team of Data Engineers. You will raise the bar for engineering excellence through rigorous code reviews, design guidance, and technical mentorship, turning every challenge into a growth opportunity for the team.
• Collaborate: Drive technical alignment across data engineering, platform, and product teams, set priorities, unblock dependencies, and ensure delivery against customer-facing commitments.
• Steward Data Integrity: Define and enforce standards for Cedar’s enterprise Data Dictionary and metadata strategy. You will partner with engineering and product to ensure data is accurate, discoverable, and synchronized across all environments.

What You Bring

• Strategic Technical Authority: 10+ years of experience in data engineering and backend systems at scale. You have experience leading large technical projects with a high accountability mentality, focused on delivering value, with a proven track record of shipping production enterprise systems that customers depend on.
• Modern Stack Mastery: Deep, hands-on proficiency with a wide range of data and engineering technologies and patterns such as Snowflake, dbt, Liquibase, Fivetran, Airflow, OpenMetadata, Kafka, SQL, Python, Kafka, streaming/event driven architectures, CDC (Change Data Capture), and real-time data processing. You have built production-grade ELT/ETL pipelines and managed complex data transformations in cloud-first environments.
• Metrics & Integrity Focus: Experience building “source of truth” systems and a passion for data accuracy. You understand how to define and audit key business metrics to ensure they remain resilient to system changes. You have experience with data validation and reconciliation, comparing pipeline output against source systems and methodically diagnosing discrepancies.
• ML/AI Fuel: You have experience building data APIs, context systems, or feature stores that power downstream ML/AI applications.
• Architectural Judgment: You can spot over-engineering and under-engineering with equal confidence. You know how to design for resilience, modularity, and backwards compatibility. You prefer incremental milestones over big bang deliverables.
• Clear Communication: You can translate complex technical risks and trade-offs into business-relevant terms for senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
• AI-Native Workflow: You are an avid learner in general, and an adopter of AI engineering tools like Claude Code and Codex. You have experience directing AI agents to generate complete, high-quality solutions and apply your judgment to test and own the output.
• [highly preferred] Healthcare Domain Expertise: Demonstrable understanding of healthcare concepts, including revenue cycle management (RCM), billing, and insurance adjudication.

Description

**This is an opportunity to join our growing cloud infrastructure practice and shape how Emergent delivers DevOps to our clients. This position is fully remote (indefinitely). **

Emergent Software is looking for a DevOps Architect to lead the technical direction of our DevOps practice within the cloud infrastructure team. A qualified candidate has deep experience with Azure infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD, paired with a track record of authoring standards, mentoring engineers from mixed backgrounds, and representing technical practices in client-facing pre-sales conversations. This 100% remote position is for someone who enjoys building the playbook as much as executing on it, and who can move comfortably between writing IaC modules, reviewing a junior engineer’s pull request, and leading an architecture discussion with a client’s CIO.

• Work from home or work remotely from anywhere you want

• Flexible work schedule meaning you can work regular hours or choose weekends and evenings

• Work-life balance is essential and highly valued at Emergent Software. If you choose to work more than 40 hours, you’ll be compensated for the extra work!

• Shape a growing practice. The demand for our DevOps services is expanding quickly, and this role has direct influence over how the team scales.

• 100 hours per year to focus on your professional development. We invest in your growth!

• Grow your career without leaving the tech track. At Emergent Software, you can advance and be recognized as a technical expert without transitioning into people management. We value deep technical expertise as much as leadership and have established clear career paths for those who want to stay hands-on.

• Profit sharing bonus means as we’re successful, you’re successful

• Excellent benefits package including medical insurance, dental, vision, 401(k) matching, FSA, disability, life insurance, and paid parental leave

Primary Duties

• Own the technical direction of Emergent’s DevOps practice, including the IaC standards, pipeline patterns, code review expectations, and reference architectures that the team applies across client engagements.

• Author and maintain the internal documentation, templates, and modules that the team relies on day to day. This is a core part of the role, not a side task.

• Mentor a team of engineers from mixed backgrounds, including software developers growing into cloud roles and traditional cloud engineers building DevOps fluency. Pair, review pull requests, run office hours, and raise the technical bar across the group.

• Lead the most complex DevOps engagements end to end, from discovery through delivery, with a focus on environments where scale, regulatory requirements, or legacy constraints demand strong technical judgment.  This includes grooming backlog work and feature & task assignments to project team as well as influence technical direction across practice areas.

• Represent the DevOps practice in pre-sales. Partner with sales and account teams to scope work, lead technical discovery sessions, contribute to proposals, and build client confidence in Emergent’s approach.

• Continuously evolve Emergent’s DevOps practice by evaluating new tools, patterns, and approaches, and bringing the right ones into the team’s standard playbook.

• Diagnose and improve existing client systems that may be partially implemented or inconsistently managed, balancing pragmatic delivery with long-term maintainability.

• Accurately track time and work performed to support client billing, project planning, and overall project health, as part of a professional services delivery model.

An Introduction to Primer

Primer is the unified infrastructure for global payments. We give finance and payments teams the visibility and control to reduce complexity, improve performance, and capture more revenue - all from a single platform.

Backed by Sofina, Peak XV Partners, ICONIQ, Tencent, Accel, and Balderton, we’re building the payments layer the world’s best companies rely on.

Watch our showcase >

Read up on our $100m Series C

Learn more about our culture >

Which team will you be joining?

A Primer payment is worth so much more than a regular payment.

In the Orchestration team we build the engine that powers intelligent, seamless, and reliable payments — across any provider, method, or market. We own the full orchestration layer: routing decisions, fallback logic, and the smart infrastructure that makes every payment perform at its best.

This team covers everything from checkout and payment processing through to tokenization, authentication, fallback logic, developer tooling, and workflows.

As a Backend Engineer L3 you will work within a small, high-calibre team of engineers who own their work end to end. You’ll report into the Engineering Manager for Orchestration and contribute to systems that handle real payment volume at scale.

What will you be doing?

• Take full ownership of backend features from scoping through to production, keeping the team informed on progress, risks, and blockers without being chased.

• Design and deliver backend services that handle real payment volume, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and correctness at scale.

• Contribute to architecture discussions, bring proposals to the engineering council, and advocate for clear service contracts and simple, maintainable system design.

• Monitor the production impact of your own work, identify issues early, and drive incidents to resolution when they arise.

• Write code that your peers consider high quality: production-ready, well-considered on error paths, and built with the next engineer in mind.

• Actively contribute to Primer’s engineering standards, raise concerns when you see gaps, and help the team hold a consistent bar.

• Collaborate with engineers across the Orchestration team on scoping sessions, code reviews, and technical decisions that shape how the system evolves.

What we’re looking for

• Solid backend engineering experience, with the ability to take ambiguous requirements and deliver working, production-ready software with minimal direction.

• Strong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: you understand why things fail in production and you build accordingly.

• Comfortable working with REST APIs and the patterns that make services reliable, observable, and easy to reason about.

• Experience owning work end to end — not just writing code but thinking about monitoring, rollout, and what happens after deployment.

• The confidence to contribute to architecture discussions, ask the right questions, and push back when a design decision doesn’t make sense.

• Experience in a payments, fintech, or infrastructure context is a plus, though depth of engineering matters more than the specific industry.

You may not like it here

• Primer is remote-first. There is no office to fall back on when you want context, direction, or a sense of how things are going. You need to be good at operating without those signals.

• We do not over-engineer our processes. If something is unclear, you’re expected to resolve that ambiguity yourself rather than wait for someone to remove it.

• The Orchestration codebase is not simple. You will inherit technical complexity and will be expected to deal with it thoughtfully, not just work around it.

🚫 You may not like it here if:

• You enjoy working in an office-setting, we are remote-first and always will be!

• You are not comfortable with shifting context and navigating ambiguity

✅ A typical interview process

What’s the culture like at Primer?

We’re building a culture where people can come and do their best work and enjoy it. We want our people to be proud of the impact that they have at Primer, and of the work that they are doing. You will be working with a team of people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants (and we also know how to have fun along the way).

We work remotely. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships with each other through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time together. Our heads-together time comes in the form of workations, our annual company retreat, and co-working space access worldwide.

Finally, let’s go ahead and say it. The work that we do is challenging. Scaleups are a challenge, building category defining products is a challenge. You should be prepared for a challenge at Primer. But, there’s a big difference between a challenge and a struggle. The key difference is that the right challenge comes with the right support structures, an acceptance that not everything always goes to plan, a collaborative environment, and a great team around you. It’s never a challenge that you will face alone.
