Full job description
At Raspberry Pi, we are proud to foster an environment where those who work with us can do what they love and do it well. By joining Raspberry Pi, you’ll be adding to a lean and passionate team dedicated to democratising technology and providing affordable access to computing tools to people across the globe.
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our Web Team, taking technical responsibility for everything at raspberrypi.com — from the website that millions of people rely on to learn about, buy, and use our products, through to Raspberry Pi Connect, our remote access service for Raspberry Pi devices. The team’s remit also includes Raspberry Pi ID, the Raspberry Pi Product Information Portal, Raspberry Pi Events, the Raspberry Pi Official Magazine website, the Raspberry Pi forums, and our data warehouse. This is an individual contributor role for an experienced, hands-on engineer who leads through influence: setting technical direction, raising the bar through code review, and shipping production code every week alongside the rest of the team.
Our stack is mostly Ruby on Rails with Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) and Tailwind CSS, backed by PostgreSQL, alongside some React on our homepage and Go for Raspberry Pi Connect’s on-device software.
This position is based at our office in Cambridge, UK, and is a full-time, in-office role. You’ll work with friendly, exceptionally talented colleagues who are dedicated to solving problems and producing high-quality work that helps people and businesses around the world get things done with Raspberry Pi.
Applications that appear to have been written by AI with little human oversight will not be considered.
The closing date for receiving applications is Wednesday, 15 July (00:00 AM BST).
The successful candidate will be:
An experienced Ruby engineer with a track record of leading production projects
Intimately familiar with the web platform and what it takes to build fast, accessible, and secure sites
Energised by code review and pairing as ways to grow a team and its software
A simplifier, finding straightforward solutions to complex problems and reducing accidental complexity
A clear and effective communicator, able to bridge the gap between technology and the rest of the business
About Raspberry Pi
Founded as a charity in 2008 and selling its first computer in 2012, Raspberry Pi today comprises two separate organisations operating in two locations:
At Raspberry Pi Ltd, we build best-selling computers, microcontrollers, and supporting software for industrial and embedded customers as well as home users worldwide
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charitable enterprise dedicated to enabling all young people to realise their potential through computing
Key responsibilities
We are looking for someone to perform the following tasks:
Shape the technical direction of raspberrypi.com and Raspberry Pi Connect alongside colleagues in the Web Team, taking ownership of your own projects from architecture through to production operations
Take a hands-on approach every day: designing, building, reviewing, and shipping features alongside the rest of the Web Team
Maintain a high bar for technical quality, performance, accessibility, and security across our web estate
Lead incident response for our production services, including communication, post-mortems, and follow-up actions
Use code review and pairing to maintain quality, reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and grow the team
Reduce accidental complexity, finding simple solutions to complex problems and making pragmatic tooling decisions that consider total cost of ownership
Act as the voice of web engineering with stakeholders across the business, explaining technical constraints and trade-offs clearly and professionally
Requirements and skills
Raspberry Pi values pragmatic, independent thinkers who are comfortable engaging with external customers and partners, as well as internal stakeholders at all levels of seniority. We operate in a highly collaborative work environment, and the successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
In addition, candidates should have:
Substantial experience building and operating Ruby applications in production, with a track record of leading Ruby projects from design through to production operations
Intimate familiarity with developing for the web, including HTTP, browser behaviour, semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web performance, accessibility, and security
Experience scaling complex web applications, including databases, caching, background jobs, and observability
A history of contributing through code review
An ability to simplify complex systems and processes
An ability to develop technical strategy, both individually and as part of a team
A commitment to lean development practices and short feedback loops, including test-driven development, continuous delivery, feature flags, and phased roll-outs
Strong business awareness and user empathy; someone who thinks like a product engineer rather than seeing engineering as a separate function
Further highly desirable skills and experience include:
Experience building and operating real-time services (e.g. WebRTC, Server-Sent Events), as found in Raspberry Pi Connect
Experience with monoliths, microservices, and everything in between
Experience with Go or React, which we use for Raspberry Pi Connect’s on-device software and our homepage, respectively
Involvement in open source software, whether as a maintainer or a contributor
Familiarity with Raspberry Pi computers and the community around them
We anticipate that applicants may bring a wide range of skills and previous experience across the different elements of the role. Accordingly, there is a wide salary range of £160,000 – £190,000 for this position, with specifics to be discussed with the successful applicant.
Other benefits include:
Employer pension contributions of 8% when the employee contributes 4% of their gross salary into the salary sacrifice scheme
Life assurance of 4× base salary
Income protection of 75% of base salary in the event of critical illness, commencing after 13 weeks of long-term illness or absence from work
Generous holiday entitlement
Private medical insurance (medical history disregarded)
A season ticket loan scheme, Cyclescheme's cycle-to-work benefit, and an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
A pleasant workplace with facilities including a small gym, weekly on-site yoga classes, comfortable break areas, and more

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.
Our vision
Our vision is that every young person develops:
• The knowledge, skills, and confidence to use computers and digital technologies effectively in their work, community, and personal life; to solve problems and to express themselves creatively
• Sufficient understanding of societal and ethical issues to be able to critically evaluate digital technologies and their application, and to design and use technology for good
• The mindsets that enable them to confidently engage with technological change and to continue learning about new and emerging technologies
Our long-term goals
1. Education: To enable any school to teach students about computing and how to create with digital technologies, through providing the best possible curriculum, resources, and training for teachers.
2. Non-formal learning: To engage millions of young people in learning about computing and how to create with digital technologies outside of school, through online resources and apps, clubs, competitions, and partnerships with youth organisations.
3. Research: To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, and we use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.
