Lead Software Engineer
Cambridge - Hybrid
Up to £120,000

I am currently recruiting for a fully funded UK-based financial technology start-up. They are using cloud and blockchain technology to simplify trade through a secure, compliant and scalable platform that reduces cost and friction and increases operational efficiency and transparency that mitigates overall risk, focusing on derivatives trading.

Don’t worry if you don’t know much about Blockchain and Derivatives, most of the team didn’t have this domain knowledge when they first joined (as you go through the interview process this will be discussed).

We are looking for someone to join the team as a CDM (Common Domain Model) Engineer at a Principal/ Lead level with the necessary “roll-your-sleeves up” attitude required for a fast-moving start up. You will own the heart of the system and be a hands-on tech leader of the CDM team.

You may not have had any experience with CDM previously, and that is completely fine, please see what you will need below:
• Strong commercial experience with Java and Kotlin, ideally in fintech, capital markets, or data-intensive environments.
• Deep understanding of domain-driven design (DDD) and experience building production systems with structured domain models.
• Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing using Kafka, or similar.
• Experience designing or working with DSLs, especially in financial or rule-based systems.
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability to thrive in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment where clarity, ownership, and agility are valued.

Majority of the engineering team is currently based in their Cambridge Science Park office, operating under a hybrid working model, going into the office 2-3 days a week, with occasional visits to the London office. They are offering a salary of up to £120,000 (depending on experience) plus benefits and share options.

If this sounds like the sort of role that would be of interest, please get in touch with me by:
• Sending an email to (url removed)
• Messaging me on LinkedIn - Sabrina Velosa | LinkedIn
We can then agree on a time to discuss further and if you have a CV at hand, please send

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Engineering Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.
