• Commitment to clear, robust, maintainable code
• Strong interpersonal and team skills
• Adaptability under pressure
• Solution‑oriented mindset
• Results‑driven quality focus
• Excellent communications skills
• Self‑motivated with a positive attitude.

Why join ATCORE :

We have adopted a hybrid model, where full‑time employees are required to come into the office three days a week. However, during the onboarding phase we would require you to come to the office on a daily basis.

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a wide range of additional benefits, including employer matched contributory pension scheme, business and personal travel insurance, healthcare schemes, life insurance, and many more.

We carefully recruit, retain and develop our most talented personnel and, as a result, have a uniquely low level of employee turnover of around 5%. Half of our employees have been with the company for 10 years or more, a level of longevity very rare in the technology sector.

Join in the creation of technologies that impact millions of travellers in a multi‑trillion dollar industry. Be part of a highly motivated family and grow your career with the guidance of strong leadership.

Please note, we will only consider applicants who are eligible to work in the UK and willing to commute to our Slough office regularly.
