Senior Software Engineer / Developer

Location: Remote (UK, Ireland or Spain)
Type: Permanent, Full Time

IAM Cloud builds software that simplifies IT management in the cloud. We are a fully employee owned, bootstrapped company - which means we answer to our customers and our team, not investors. With around 35 employees, we serve more than 3,000 organisations worldwide.

Being employee owned shapes how we work. Decisions are long-term, the culture is collaborative, and the people who build the company share in its success. We have leaned deliberately into AI and agentic workflows across the business as a core part of how a focused team competes with companies ten times our size. We are fully remote with employees in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany and Argentina and have been remote for years, as a deliberate choice about how good work gets done.

This role is suited to a strong engineering-minded problem solver who can analyse difficult problems and connect the dots across the platform of our products, design robust solutions and deliver high quality software.
