Department Description

The successful candidate will join a small team developing Cambium’s highly-regarded LINKPlanner propagation and network planning. LINKPlanner is a web-based application with a growing number of loyal users around the world who depend on the application for their network planning. The team works at the intersection of complex RF propagation modelling, geospatial data, and modern web engineering.

Scope of Responsibilities & Position Expectations

We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer with leadership capability to strengthen the LINKPlanner team. This is primarily a hands-on engineering role — the successful candidate will spend the majority of their time writing and reviewing code across the full stack. A smaller portion of the role involves line management of a small team of engineers.

The role is fast-paced with multiple releases per year, so we are looking for someone who is self-motivated, proactive, detail-oriented, and a responsible team player with a passion for building reliable, high-quality software. The ability to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities is essential.

The team is spread across sites in the UK, US, and India, so excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required.

Technical Management (approx. 20%):
• Line manage a small team of software engineers, supporting their growth and day-to-day work
• Coordinate with the wider team on planning and priorities
• Communicate progress and technical decisions clearly to stakeholders
• Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team evolves

Knowledge/ Skill Requirement

Required Skills:

• At least 10 years of software development experience across a range of products
