### Job Title: Software Engineer

Location: London, Hamburg  
Job Type: Full-time  
Salary: Competitive  
Equity: Benchmarked

#### Role Overview:

Build the intelligence layer of MasonOS powering distributed manufacturing.

#### About Isembard:

Isembard is on a mission to forge industrial acceleration. We enable faster and cheaper products to be made for critical industries by combining advanced machine tools with our proprietary software, MasonOS. We are building a distributed network of high-performance factories across the UK, US and beyond.

Our values:

- If not now, when
- Follow the five maxims
- Humour and humility

#### What We’re Building (Mason)

The goal? Turn a machine shop into a software-first system, where precision manufacturing is as scalable as cloud deployments.

**Mason:**

- Orchestrates CNC machining,
- Manages advanced robotics
- Automates complex supply chains,
- Ensures rigorous quality standards and more.

AI is not an afterthought - it is baked into the system. This goes beyond workflow automation— we are undertaking a full-stack reinvention of industrial manufacturing, and we need brilliant, relentless engineers to build it.

#### Your Role: Learning by Building

As a Graduate Engineer, you won’t be stuck fixing bugs in legacy code. You will be on the factory floor, working alongside the team to ship real software that controls production.

- **Develop Core Features:** You will contribute code to MasonOS, working across the stack from backend services to the user interface.
- **Bridge Software & Hardware:** You’ll see your code turn into physical action. You will write software that interacts with machines, robotics, and sensors.
- **Iterate at Speed:** Manufacturing moves fast. You will learn to deploy code frequently, monitor its performance in the real world, and iterate based on immediate feedback from the factory floor.
- **Absorb & Grow:** You will work directly with a team of experienced engineers and founders, gaining exposure to DevOps, architecture, and machine learning in a high-autonomy environment. We have a flat-hierarchy - this means everyone can contribute ideas, shape direction and attack any problem that needs to be solved.

#### About You

We don't expect you to know everything on day one. We are looking for strong fundamentals and a fearless attitude toward solving hard problems.

**Must-Haves:**

- Strong CS Fundamentals: A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or Math
- Coding Competency: You are comfortable writing logic in at least one modern language (we use TypeScript and React, but we value the ability to learn over specific syntax).
- Curiosity & Drive: You are a "tinkerer." You have side projects, GitHub contributions, or internships where you have built and shipped product.
- First-Principles Thinking: You can look at a confusing problem, break it down into small logical pieces, and solve it.

**Preferred:**

- Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, or React.
- Experience working with Databases, Data Engineering / Machine Learning / AI.
- Understanding of basic cloud concepts (AWS, Docker, or CI/CD pipelines).

#### Personal Attributes

- **You want high impact:** You aren't looking for a corporate cog-in-the-wheel role. You want to see your work in action, improving our processes and driving efficiency.
- **You are pragmatic:** You care more about the solution working in the real world than theoretical perfection.
- **You are adaptable:** We are a Startup. Priorities change, and you’ll wear many hats. You view this as an exciting challenge, not a frustration.

#### What We Offer

- **Accelerated Learning:** You will learn more here in 1 year than in 5 years at a big tech firm. You will touch every part of the stack.
- **Mentorship:** 1:1 mentorship to guide you through the world of Software Engineering + Startups
- **Real-World Impact:** Your code will power physical machines, not just manipulate pixels.
- **Ownership:** Equity in the business - so you will share in the success you build
- **The Factory Environment:** You won't be stuck in a generic office. You’ll be where the action is.
