This role offers the opportunity to be a hands‑on Software Engineer helping to create software solutions that prioritise performance, reliability, and scalability. You will use your experience to contribute to our Information Resilience portfolio and, although hybrid working may be available in the future, it is not guaranteed and due to the secure nature of the portfolio work you will be based full‑time onsite at our Tewkesbury facility. We welcome applications from individuals who bring diverse skills and experiences. If you are passionate about this role and believe you can make a meaningful contribution, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every requirement. We value a commitment to growth and are open to potential.

Responsibilities

• Apply your software skills as an individual contributor to help develop complex software systems.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define functional and non‑functional requirements for embedded and/or user‑interface software projects.
• Create low‑level designs, implementation and test solutions in line with the defined architecture.
• Support and promote adherence to coding standards, best practices, planning documentation, procedures for software development and delivery, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to software engineers.
• Meet cost and schedule targets while contributing to technical reviews, bids and proposals, budget and schedule discussions, and customer engagement activities.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in C++, specifically embedded software development using C++.
• Experience with other languages such as Python, C#, Rust, and C.
• Experience using version control systems (e.g., Git, GitLab or similar).
• Strong object‑oriented design and programming skills (OOD, OOP).
• Familiarity with development methodologies (e.g., V‑model, Waterfall, Agile).
• Proficiency with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Mantis.
• A proven track record of delivering reliable, maintainable software across the lifecycle, including peer review.
• Strong communication, documentation and organisational skills.
• A degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Due to the nature of our work many of our roles require UK nationality and the ability to obtain a security clearance. Applicants who accept a conditional offer of employment must meet the right to work in the UK and will be subject to government security checks.

Benefits and Compensation

• £3,000 to £6,000 DV Bonus – please note clearance level is not essential for this role; the bonus is subject to individual clearance and project requirements.
• Flexible or part‑time working arrangements considered upon request.
• Half‑day finish on a Friday.
• 25 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays), increasing with long service and with the opportunity to buy/sell up to 5 days.
