Job description

This leading tech company specialises in integrated software and hardware systems for high-speed data processing, cyber security and radio communications. They are looking for a lead software engineer to join their team to provide expert C and C++ knowledge as well as be a mentor and leader for other engineers.

You will be working alongside talented software engineers as well as physicists, electronics engineers and hardware engineers. Projects will usually require a mix of talents, so cross-discipline communication is important, as is a willingness to continue learning outside your area of expertise. For example, it wouldn’t be unheard of for you to be involved in developing a web-based GUI or even help with some embedded coding.

You will need to demonstrate both industry experience and academic excellence. Requirements include:

• 1st or 2:1 in a numerate subject from a top (think Russell group) university supported by top marks at A Level
• Strong commercial experience in C and C++ around data processing or network security
• Good all-round software development skills and a keen appreciation for clear and efficient software design

On offer alongside the salary is a strong set of benefits including an annual bonus scheme, subsidised gym membership and a generous company contribution pension scheme. Part-time work and condensed hours are possible while flexible working is standard. However, hybrid or remote working is not possible.

Some of the work carried out is sensitive in nature and so requires successful candidates to pass a security audit. You will therefore need to be a British citizen to be considered.
