Job description

You will work in-person at our campus near Cambridge to develop software solutions - from concept generation and algorithm design to implementation in embedded and cloud-based resources. The work will be varied depending on the project, but could include developing neural networks for human-multi-robot collaborative teams , using AI to build faster, more efficient models , or creating an app that helps people with specific health problems like borderline personality disorder.

You will have the opportunity to work on multiple such projects at any one time, so over a year at TTP your experiences and applications will be vast, and you can expect to develop and expand your understanding of entirely new fields of science and technology rapidly.

Alongside your technical work, you will develop as a consultant, engaging with clients to share your progress and making sure their requirements are understood and reflected in the software you build. Over time, you'll have opportunity to take on more responsibility by leading projects, strengthening client relationships, and building business.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team of experienced software engineers who are not only available to support you, but actively enjoy sharing ideas, solving problems together, and learning from one another. We believe growth happens best in an environment where knowledge is shared freely and curiosity is encouraged. You’ll receive mentorship and guidance when needed, but also the space and trust to take initiative, explore your interests, and shape your own development. You’ll be encouraged to contribute early, take ownership of your work, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver impactful solutions.

Requirements

• This role is for recent graduates, who can start within a month.
• Proactive and self-starting, with a strong sense of personal responsibility and a drive to make things happen.
• Deep intellectual curiosity and inventiveness, with a desire to understand how things work at a fundamental level. You will have achieved a minimum 2:1 in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, with a strong academic record that reflects your capacity for rigorous, first-principles thinking.
• Fluency in at least one of Python, C, or C++, with a track record of building meaningful software. You should be able to both write high-quality code and engage effectively with code written by others.
• Collaborative and emotional intelligence, able to build trust, energise those around you, and communicate complex technical ideas with clarity, empathy, and precision, regardless of your audience's background.
• Commercially aware and entrepreneurial, excited by the opportunity to turn breakthrough technologies into real-world products, ventures, and impact.
• Strategic and systems-minded, able to see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges and opportunities, and navigate ambiguity while keeping priorities sharp and focused.
• We're looking for those who don't just solve problems - but who seek them out, thrive on them, and elevate those around them while doing so.
