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Our UK team of 25 is based in Central Manchester, helping British police forces replace outdated, fragmented systems with modern, resilient software.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

Private medical, dental, and vision insurance

through AXA Health and BUPA, fully paid for you and your dependents

18 weeks

AI tooling including Claude Code Enterprise and ChatGPT Enterprise licences provided

Spring Health membership

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. &nbs
