Voop is building its first large-scale vertical product, codenamed Patronus — a sector-defining online safety solution protecting and enabling vulnerable individuals to safely use smartphones.

Patronus is a first-of-its-kind platform that combines:

1. eSIM-based network connectivity
2. Device-level safeguarding software

We have been engaged by a market-leading care provider to protect 4,000+ vulnerable people online. This starts with a product development phase and pilot, leading to a full-scale rollout, supported by a growing pipeline of adjacent use cases. Patronus is not just a high-impact commercial opportunity but a mission-driven initiative with the potential to impact thousands of lives.

The Opportunity

As an early engineering hire and a key member of the extended founding team, you will take a hands-on role in developing the Voop Platform and driving the rapid evolution of Patronus.

You will work closely with Nick Pasha-Gubbins (Co-Founder & CTO) on:

1. Architectural decisions for the core platform
2. Deploying & optimizing the solution during pilot and full-scale rollout

From day one, you will get up to speed with the existing platform, contribute immediately, and shape the future of a high-impact product. You will also spend time with end-users on the ground, ensuring Patronus delivers real-world impact.

Key Responsibilities

1. Fullstack development of Voop’s platform & Patronus solution - a mix of realtime webapps, mobile apps, and backend services
2. Work on mobile network management, device control via MDM, and safeguarding monitoring tools.
3. Collaborate with the CTO and founding team on architecture and system design.
4. Focus on security, scalability & developer-friendliness on day 1
5. Ship fast & iterate—deliver value to real users quickly and refine based on feedback.
6. Engage with end-users & stakeholders to deeply understand safeguarding challenges and optimize the solution.

About You

1. You have a get-it-done attitude, and are agnostic to technology beyond what’s right for the given problem
2. You’ve multiple years of experience working on quality products as CTO or senior engineer in a small mighty team
3. You’re opinionated on how things are done, have scar tissue of what doesn’t work, and the empathy to make decisions fast with others
4. You sweat the details, and care about the craft of what you build
5. You care about what the product does, not just how it’s built.
6. You’re comfortable delivering full features across frontend, backend and devops

Bonus Points

1. You have worked with voice / sms e.g. twilio
2. You have a strong understanding of mobile network architecture
3. You have a strong understanding of networking from layer 3 up
4. You have worked with MDM
5. You have a strong affinity for online safeguarding and child protection

About Voop

Voop is a B2B neo-telco founded to build vertical use cases and offer value-adding telecom-based products to businesses. In just six months, we have built:

1. A full UK MVNO in partnership with BT/EE.
2. A global data network supporting eSIM-based data packages across the world and IoT use cases.
3. A management platform that integrates with any mobile network, enabling full control and orchestration of mobile connectivity and device management.

Traditional telcos are dying because they fail to innovate. They provide commodity connectivity without differentiated software that solves real-world problems. Voop is here to change that.

Founded in 2024 in London by James Paul and Nick Pasha-Gubbins, Voop is well-capitalized, having raised strategic angel investment, bootstrap capital, and revenue from live, paying customers. We are now expanding our engineering and product team to build sector-defining solutions.
