Software Engineer

Software Engineer | Meridian Review Group
Remote, London, Prague or Costa Rica | Full-Time or Long-Term Contract | $9,000–$12,000 per month depending on experience
Meridian Review Group is looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing international team of just under 25 team members, and help build the technology behind a rapidly expanding network of independent business, markets and economic publications.
This is a role for someone who wants to build, not simply maintain.
Meridian currently operates specialist publications covering major economies, financial markets, companies, technology, investment and economic change.
We are building Meridian as much more than a collection of conventional news websites.
Alongside journalism, we are developing market-data products, company and executive databases, rankings, economic datasets, research tools, structured entity systems, internal editorial technology and new ways for readers to understand companies, industries, markets and economies.
The role can be fully remote or based from one of our locations in London, Prague or Costa Rica.
The Meridian Network
Meridian currently operates seven specialist publications, each with its own editorial remit, research products and audience.
Global Markets Review
Markets, stocks, listed companies, earnings, dividends, analyst expectations, semiconductors and the public-market side of AI infrastructure.

The publication increasingly combines markets journalism with maintained research products, stock and company reference infrastructure and structured market data.
British Business Review
UK business, technology, artificial intelligence, startups, regulation and the economic environment facing British companies.

What We’re Building
Meridian Review Group is an international publishing, research and intelligence group covering business, markets, investment, technology, AI, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, finance and economic policy.
Our model combines timely journalism with information designed to remain useful long after publication.
That includes:
Company and executive profiles
Market and stock data
Economic and regional guides
Industry directories
Rankings and indexes
Investment trackers
Original research datasets
Company, sector and geographic databases
Searchable reference products
Specialist newsletters and recurring editorial products
Data-backed journalism
Research and intelligence products for professional audiences
The network currently reaches approximately 480,000 readers across our publications in under a year, and we are growing rapidly.
Our ambition is to create a publishing and information platform capable of reaching millions of readers every month, ultimately building toward 10 million monthly visitors across the Meridian network.
That creates a very different engineering challenge from building a single publication.
We need systems that can support multiple brands, thousands and eventually hundreds of thousands of content and entity pages, rapidly growing search traffic, structured datasets, financial information, new publications and entirely new research products without the platform becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
We want to build systems that work well today while being designed for what Meridian could become several years from now.
Examples of Products We’ve Already Built
We do not see data, research and software as something separate from publishing.
Several Meridian publications already have maintained datasets, interactive research tools and structured information products.
Analyst Rating Decoder
Global Markets Review has built a browser-based tool that lets readers compare changes in analyst ratings and price targets while separating actual rating changes from target-price revisions.

It sits alongside maintained research indexes covering analyst ratings, dividends, earnings and company valuation.
US Industrial Investment Tracker
American Commerce Review maintains a state-level research system following major semiconductor and strategic manufacturing projects across the United States, separating investment values from project stages and public incentives.
Explore American Commerce Review Research & Data
The same architecture connects investment projects with all 50 state business pages, companies, employers and regional economic information.
UK Business Regulation Calendar
British Business Review maintains a dated regulatory calendar covering major Companies House, employment and financial-regulation milestones affecting UK companies.
Explore the UK Business Regulation Calendar
Rather than publishing another generic compliance article, the product separates measures already in force from scheduled changes and dates that remain dependent on implementation.
German Data Centre Tracker
German Business Review maintains a dataset of major German cloud, AI and sovereign-compute projects, separating disclosed investment, planned capacity and actual delivery stage.
Explore German Business Review Research & Data
Its research layer also includes a German Mittelstand & Industrial Technology Index and a maintained index of restructuring across Germany's automotive sector.
Dutch Semiconductor Supply Chain Database
Dutch Business Review maps the companies and institutions that make up the Dutch semiconductor ecosystem across lithography, wafer processing, packaging, design, photonics and precision engineering.
Explore Dutch Business Review Research & Data
It also includes an interactive Semiconductor Supply-Chain Role Finder and research indexes covering Brainport Eindhoven, grid infrastructure and logistics.
Czech Company Ranking Comparator
Czech Business Review has developed an interactive company comparison tool designed to avoid common problems such as comparing different financial periods, currencies or global employee numbers with Czech employment figures.
Explore Czech Business Review Research & Data
Its research products also include a Czech Technology Companies Database, Startup & Technology Ecosystem Tracker and economic and manufacturing research indexes.
Gulf AI Infrastructure Tracker
Gulf Business Review maintains structured research into major AI and data-centre projects across the GCC.
Its tracker separates long-term campus ambitions from first-phase capacity, projects actually under construction and infrastructure already operating.
Explore Gulf Business Review Research & Data
The publication has also developed an interactive AI Infrastructure Project Stage Checker, sovereign-capital reference systems and research indexes covering major Gulf projects and energy infrastructure.
Examples of Our Journalism and Research
