Black Nova Portfolio is hiring a Engineering — a full-time role. Apply directly on Black Nova Portfolio's careers page below.

Engineering

We back founders building B2B software and technology products in business critical domains. Often in early stage startups, engineering is the constraint. If you're a Senior / Lead / Principal / Staff Engineer or Engineering Lead who thrives in lean teams with real ownership, we'd love to learn more about what you're looking for.

The context

Across our portfolio, we see companies building workflow automation, compliance tooling, infrastructure, AI-powered enterprise products, and developer tools. Tech stacks vary, but the common thread is teams of 2–8 engineers moving fast in production-critical environments, typically without the luxury of platform teams, SREs, or dedicated DevOps.

What great looks like

  • Full-stack depth with genuine backend strength, you don't just touch APIs, you design them

  • Experience shipping B2B products to real paying customers under time pressure

  • You've worked in a small team where you owned large surface area

  • Strong opinions on code quality and review, and can articulate the "why" without a lecture

  • You've inherited broken infrastructure and improved it without burning everything down

What makes you stand out

  • Previous startup experience, you understand what urgent means in context

  • Experience building or scaling multi-tenant SaaS architecture

  • Ability to context-switch between technical execution and cross-functional communication

  • You've mentored junior engineers without it becoming a second full-time job

  • Exposure to AI/ML integration in product features (not just side projects)

Who this is not for

Engineers who optimise for specialisation over breadth, or who need a mature engineering culture before they can contribute, will find early-stage startup environments frustrating. We're looking for people who shape culture, not those who depend on it already existing.
