Software Engineer, Engineering Acceleration

Our Mission At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails , and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it . We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian ( cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel , acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben , Abs , Sabrina , and Rebe . Find out more about the team and life at Omnea here . What We're Looking For We're looking for software engineers to join Engineering Acceleration, one of the teams in Omnea's Platform Engineering department, building the tools and infrastructure that help Omnea's engineers develop, test and ship software. Engineering Acceleration develops and operates the systems that support AI-assisted software development: agent tooling, context management, development environments and automated validation. You'll work across application code and infrastructure, improving existing systems and building new capabilities. You'll likely come from product or backend engineering, though developer tooling experience is a plus. What matters is strong software engineering ability, practical infrastructure experience and an interest in making other engineers more effective. What You'll Do Build systems for AI-native software engineering. Develop the tooling and infrastructure that enable engineers to delegate substantial engineering work to agents, spanning investigation, implementation, testing and code review. Improve the context, execution environments and feedback available to agents so they can complete increasingly complex tasks reliably. Improve development and testing environments. Develop the infrastructure that allows engineers and agents to reproduce problems, run applications and verify changes. Improve development environments, previews and automated validation. Evaluate quality and impact. Build evaluations for agent behaviour and test changes to context, tools and configuration against representative engineering tasks. Measure the effect on correctness, review effort, reliability and cost before wider rollout. Identify and address engineering bottlenecks. Work with engineers across Omnea to identify friction in development, testing and delivery. Prioritise improvements based on their impact on engineering productivity and software quality, and measure the results. Lead tooling selection and adoption. Assess emerging tools and make build-versus-buy decisions based on capability, integration effort and long-term maintenance. Spearhead the selection and rollout of an agentic development platform (ADP), giving engineers a single interface for tooling and agent management. Own systems through delivery and operation. Take responsibility for technical design, implementation, deployment and ongoing operation. Build for reliability and maintainability, with appropriate observability, access controls and recovery mechanisms. What Can You Expect? Join the team early. Help shape and invent how engineers and agents design, build and verify software at Omnea. You'll be an integral part o
