Contract role
Everything we do is to empower our clients to move forward. Our purpose is to help our clients develop the capabilities they need to outperform their competitors. Our success is a consequence of ensuring our clients are successful. Our company is built on extraordinary people; we aim to attract, inspire, develop and retain them. YLD is a software engineering and design consultancy; we create digital capabilities for our clients that last beyond our engagement. We have offices in London, Lisbon, Porto.
As a Distributed Systems Engineer, you’ll be part of a client team designing and building the core foundations of a highly performant, low-latency system. We’re looking for someone who is curious, deeply technical, and comfortable operating close to the metal. You should have strong systems-level thinking, a solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, and an interest in database internals.
In this role, you’ll help design and implement core infrastructure components, build and optimise binary protocols, and work on performance-critical parts of the system. You’ll collaborate closely with the team through ****context engineering workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Agentic Coding), and you’ll bring a pragmatic, quality-driven approach to problem-solving. You’ll be an effective communicator, a strong collaborator, and someone who thrives in fast-moving engineering environments.
We’re an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity of all kinds. We don’t discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, age, marital status, or disability status. We also believe in work-life balance and offer flexible working around our core hours.
