Our goal is to help our clients keep moving forward. We work with them to build the skills and capabilities they need to stay ahead of the competition, and we know our success only happens when they succeed. We’re a team of curious, talented people, and we’re committed to making YLD a place where great people want to work, grow, and stay.
We’re a remote-first consultancy specialising in software engineering, product design, and data. Our teams are based across London, Lisbon, and Porto, and we create digital solutions that continue to deliver value long after our work is done.
As a Platform Software Engineer at YLD, you'll be part of a client team, owning cloud access and identity management along with a large part of their infrastructure-as-code. Day to day, that means controlling who and what can do what across their cloud estate, and standing up the newer tooling that sits alongside it. It's shared infrastructure that many teams depend on, so much of the role is careful change management, governance, and unblocking others.

We’re an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity in all its forms.

We also offer a remote-first working environment, with flexible working and work–life balance as standard for all employees.
YLD is a software engineering, data engineering, and product design consultancy, specialising in customer experience and disruptive technologies.
We were among the first adopters of innovative technologies like Node.js, React.js, React Native, Kubernetes, and GraphQL, which are now staples for many businesses. YLD was also an early adopter of Design Systems as a service and founded Design Systems London, a non-profit community focused on design and product.
We leave your teams and tech in a better space by curating bespoke teams of cross-functional experts in software engineering, architecture, DevOps, delivery, design, product and data science to work alongside your teams through close collaboration and, where needed, pair programming or technical training.
We drive rapid iteration towards key business objectives, vision and chosen metrics, creating a long-standing product culture and delivery capability in each piece of work.
We’ve helped companies like DAZN, The Economist, CondeNast, Trainline, NewDay, GoDaddy, and more achieve technical product excellence. As a result, we enable organisations to become their most successful by creating and nurturing a culture that embraces experimentation and learning that lasts beyond the partnership.
