Plutonium Software is a small, senior team building the systems UK businesses depend on — from first workshop to production, and every release after.
What we do
Whether you need the whole journey or a single stage, the same senior engineers and consultants carry it — no handoffs into the void.
Bespoke platforms and internal tools, engineered around how your team actually operates.
Learn more →Fast, accessible products your customers choose to open twice.
Learn more →Infrastructure and pipelines that scale quietly, without 3am calls.
Learn more →Straight answers on architecture, vendors, and what to build next.
Learn more →Pipelines you can trust, and AI applied only where it earns its keep.
Learn more →We stay on after launch — monitoring, patching, and holding the line.
Learn more →How we work
Workshops with the people who'll use the system. We leave with a plan, a risk list, and a fixed number.
Architecture and interface decided together, reviewed with you before a line of code exists.
Two-week sprints, a demo every Friday. You watch the system take shape in real time.
Monitoring, SLAs, and steady iteration. Launch is where the real work begins.
Where we've shipped
“They scoped the system precisely, built it fast, and didn't vanish after go-live — which is rarer than it should be.”CTO — UK retail group

Services
Engage us for the whole journey or a single stage. Same senior team, same standards, either way.
[ BUILD ]
Bespoke platforms, internal tools, and the careful modernisation of systems that have outgrown their spreadsheets. We design around how your team actually works, then build it to hold.
What you get
[ APPS ]
Customer-facing web and native iOS/Android applications, designed and built by the same team. Fast, accessible, and measured from the first release.
What you get
[ CLOUD ]
Migrations without downtime, infrastructure as code, and pipelines your team can actually ship through on a Friday. AWS, Azure, and GCP certified.
What you get
[ ADVISE ]
Direct answers on architecture, vendors, and roadmaps, from consultants who still build. Available as a single audit or an ongoing fractional CTO.
What you get
[ DATA ]
Pipelines you can trust, dashboards people actually open, and AI applied only where it earns its keep — governed from the outset.
What you get
[ RUN ]
We don't leave after launch. Monitoring, incident response, patching, and security hardening under a clear SLA, so releases stay uneventful.
What you get
Engagement models
A defined outcome, a fixed price, a fixed date. Best when the problem is well understood.
A Plutonium pod embedded with yours, sprint after sprint. Best for products that keep evolving.
Senior help, by the day. Best for audits, rescues, and getting unstuck.

Careers
Fifty of us across the UK — engineers, consultants, designers. Small pods, senior colleagues, no theatre. We hire people who like seeing their work in production.
Two office days a week, arranged around your life.
Plus bank holidays. Plus your birthday.
From day one, with family cover available.
Courses, conferences, certifications — every year.
Salary sacrifice available from your first payslip.
Mac, Linux, or Windows — refreshed on a three-year cycle.
Open roles (5)
Own backend architecture across a pod of four, building in Go and TypeScript for clients in energy and financial services.
Keep client platforms fast and predictable — AWS-first, Terraform-everything, on a well-staffed rota.
Lead audits, roadmaps, and vendor selection for enterprise and public-sector clients across the North.
Own quality and reliability across three delivery pods. Playwright-first, strategy over ticket-checking.
An 18-month rotation across three pods with a named mentor throughout. We hire for trajectory, not university.
Our process: 20-minute intro call → paid take-home exercise → team interview → offer. Ten working days, typically.
Apply
Thanks — we read every application ourselves. You'll hear from us within five working days either way.
