Senior Software Engineer
🚀 About Borderless
At Borderless, we’re building a world where borders are no longer barriers - where anyone can move anywhere, seamlessly and safely.
Founded in 2023, we’ve already helped 600+ UK businesses and 15,000+ individuals navigate the complexity of immigration.
Powered by technology, and supported by an expert team, our platform removes the friction of Home Office compliance, visa processing and sponsor licence applications, making immigration faster, simpler and more accessible for everyone.
Backed by Entrepreneur First and Backed.VC , we’re scaling fast and in 2026 expanding into new sectors and markets to further accelerate our growth.
Also, around 25% of our workforce is sponsored, and we proudly offer visa sponsorship as part of our hiring process.

You'll work closely with our Engineering Director, Head of Product, and the wider cross-functional team to understand the needs of our customers and solve their problems. We deploy our platform > 10 times per day, and rapidly review and iterate on feedback.
This role requires working in the office 3 days per week. If this is not possible for you, please do not apply.

📈 What we’ve done recently

Introduced a queuing platform (SQS) for various parts of the application, to control asynchronous workloads
Run an LLM-driven security audit on our existing codebase ahead of our next pen test
