Senior Software Engineer/Software Architect - other info

Our client's main office is in Bedfordshire. Working patterns are flexible and the role can be largely done remotely: you may need to visit once a month, though if you're more local you'd be very welcome in the office more frequently.

In terms of longer term, prospects, our client works on some very exciting projects, such as those funded by the European Space Agency, and you can expect to be taking part in varied, interesting and important work that will stretch your own boundaries and involve genuinely leading-edge technology.
