Job summary

Minerva Defence is embedding engineers with customers, handling software, hardware, and networking in deployed environments. You will roll out updates, secure connectivity, and diagnose field issues on Linux systems, writing Python tooling to keep the platform reliable on the ground.

We seek engineers who can operate with autonomy in operational environments, translate field problems into solid fixes, and maintain strong end-user trust while supporting our deployed systems across Europe.

Qualifications

• Proven experience shipping production software; we work mostly in Python, but are language-agnostic for engineers with strong computer-science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, systems)
• A solid grounding in Linux and networking fundamentals, with hands-on experience diagnosing both
• A track record of earning the trust of experienced, demanding end users on their own terms, through substance and straight talk rather than sales polish
• Able to work on-site in the West Midlands and travel to customer locations, operating with a high degree of autonomy
• Eligible for UK DV clearance (UK national, normally 10 or more years of continuous UK residency)

Responsibilities

• Roll out and manage software updates to the systems we have deployed in the field, over the network
• Configure, secure and diagnose the networks our systems depend on, from setup through to live fault-finding under pressure
• Debug Linux systems and connectivity issues on the ground, often with limited time and tooling
• Write and maintain the Python software, tooling and automation that hold the platform together
• Act as the technical point of contact for operators, turning field problems into reliable fixes
• Feed real operational issues back to the core engineering team to harden the product
