We're Building Something. Interested?
We're a small software development team helping UK Ecommerce, EdTech, and Fintech companies ship custom software fast. We're not actively hiring right now, but we're always interested in meeting exceptional people who want to build something from the ground up.
Built Fast. Built Right.
What We Actually Offer
100% remote
Work from anywhere in the UK. Home, coffee shop, or co-working space, your choice. We care about code quality, not where you sit.
Flexible Hours
Not a 9-5 shop. Work when you're most productive. Morning person? Night owl? We don't care. Deliver great work, set your own schedule.
Competitive Pay + Equity
Market-rate salaries for developers. Early employees get equity stakes. Commission structure for sales roles. We share success with those who build it.
Ground Floor Impact
Join early, shape everything. Own entire projects from start to finish. Your code, your clients, your decisions. Real impact, not corporate bureaucracy.
Work From Anywhere (Within Reason)
We're 100% remote and plan to stay that way.
What that means:
- No commute. Work from home, save 2+ hours daily
- Work from anywhere in world - doesn't matter
- Async-first communication. We use Slack, Notion, and Loom so you're not chained to Zoom 8 hours/day
- Flexible hours. Early bird? Night owl? Work when you're productive
- Quarterly team meetups. We do gather in person 3-4x/year for planning and bonding
What that doesn't means:
- Zero accountability or communication
- Missing team meetings without notice
- No collaboration or teamwork
- Being unreachable for days
- Quarterly team meetups. We do gather in person 3-4x/year for planning and bonding
Remote = freedom + responsibility.

We don't do 9-5. We do results.
Some people code best at 6 AM with coffee. Others hit their flow state at 11 PM. We don't care when you work—we care that you
deliver great work and show up for the team.
What flexible hours actually means:
- No fixed start/end times
You're not punching a clock. Work 7 AM-3 PM, 11 AM-7 PM, or split your day around school pickup. As long as you're hitting deadlines and attending team meetings, structure your day however works for you. - Async-first communication
We use Slack, Notion, and Loom so you're not chained to Zoom all day. Record a video update instead of scheduling a meeting. Leave a message instead of waiting for real-time response. - Core collaboration hours (but flexible)
We do ask for some overlap for team communication—roughly 11 AM-3 PM UK time. But even that's flexible if you communicate. Got a doctor's appointment at 2 PM? Just let the team know. - Time zone friendly
UK-based remote means everyone's in similar time zones (GMT/BST). You won't be joining calls at 3 AM or waiting 8 hours for responses. - Focus time = deep work time
Need 4 hours of uninterrupted coding? Block it on your calendar. No one will Slack you. We protect focus time because that's when the best work happens. - No "always-on" culture
Flexible doesn't mean available 24/7. We don't expect you to answer Slack at 10 PM unless there's a genuine emergency (which is rare). Set boundaries. We respect them.
What flexible does NOT mean:
- Working whenever you feel like it with no structure
You still need a consistent schedule so teammates know when to reach you. "I work random hours" doesn't work for collaboration. - Missing team meetings without notice
We have standups, sprint planning, and client calls. These are scheduled with everyone's input. You need to show up (or give advance notice you can't). - Being unreachable for hours at a time
You don't need to be glued to Slack, but if someone needs you urgently, you should respond within a few hours during your working day. - Zero accountability
Flexible hours require MORE discipline, not less. You manage your time, but you deliver your work on schedule.

Join Early. Shape Everything.
There's a massive difference between joining as employee #5 and joining as employee #500.At employee #500, you follow processes someone else built.
At employee #5, YOU build the processes. That's what "ground floor" means. You're not joining a finished company—you're helping build it.

🎯 You Own Entire Projects
Not "you'll work on a feature." You'll own entire client projects from discovery to deployment. Architecture decisions? Yours. Tech
stack choices? Yours. Client communication? Yours. Your name on it.
💡 Your Ideas Become Company Process
Suggest a better way to handle deployments? If it works, that becomes our deployment process. Create a reusable component library? That becomes our standard. Your innovations become company DNA.
📈 Fast Career Progression
First developer → Lead developer → Technical director. Not in 10 years. In 18-24 months if you deliver. We promote from within
because we HAVE to—we're growing and need leaders.
🤝 Direct Founder Access
You'll work directly with founders daily. No middle managers translating your message. No layers between you and decision-makers.
Got an idea? Slack the founder. Need approval? Get it in 5 minutes.
🏗️ Build the Foundation
The code you write today becomes the foundation other developers build on tomorrow. The client relationships you create become our case studies. The processes you establish become how we work.
💰 Meaningful Equity
0.5-2% equity might not sound like much, but it's 5,000x more than you'd get at a big company (0.0001%). If Software Insight succeeds, your equity matters. You're not getting rich on salary alone.
🎓 Learn Everything
Small team means you touch everything. Frontend, backend, deployment, client meetings, proposals, architecture. You won't be pigeonholed as "just a React developer." You'll become a full-stack problem solver.
📣 Your Voice Matters
When there's 5 people on a Zoom call, everyone gets heard. When there's 50, you're on mute. We're small enough that your opinion genuinely shapes company direction.
What Our Team Says
We're building something different. Here's what it's like working at Software Insight, straight from the people doing the work.
Ehsan Raza
"I joined Software Insight because I wanted to work directly with founders and actually influence company direction. At my last agency, I was 3 layers away from decision-makers and spent most of my time in meetings about meetings. Here, I proposed a LinkedIn content strategy on Monday, got approval by Tuesday, and we launched it Wednesday. Seeing our campaigns directly generate leads for client projects—that's incredibly satisfying. Small team means your work actually matters."
Taimoor Khalid Hamza
"What I love most about Software Insight is the autonomy. I'm not just executing someone else's SEO strategy, I'm building our entire organic growth approach from scratch. When I suggested we focus on industry-specific content for our target verticals, we implemented it the same week. No corporate red tape, no waiting months for approval. Just test, measure, and scale what works. That kind of ownership and speed is rare."
Tahir Nazeer
"I joined as a junior developer and honestly expected to spend months doing bug fixes or small features. Instead, I was building real client components by week 2. The seniors review my code and mentor me, but I'm not treated like 'the junior'—I'm given real responsibility. I've learned more about React, Node.js, and client communication in 4 months here than I did in a year at my previous company. When you're a small team shipping real projects, you grow fast or you don't survive. I'm growing fast."
