Java Developer jobs in United States

Senior Software Engineer

Blyth, United Kingdom

Salary - DOE

Jackson Hogg is delighted to be working with Tharsus on the appointment of a Senior Software Engineer. We are looking for a dynamic, generalist software engineer who is excited about the opportunity to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team on various exciting projects. Tharsus' projects are very diverse, often greenfield, and have huge opportunities for learning new technologies and skills. They move quickly and iteratively and pride themselves in working tightly with their customers. If you are looking for a lively and communicative role in smart automation and robotics, then please read on!

Because of the diverse nature of the work you will be doing, we are looking for someone with good experience across a wide skillset. Breadth is more important than depth and an appreciation of good software engineering practices is more important than finding a specialist in any one area.

Having said that, in recent projects we’ve utilised these technologies:

• C# (with ASP.Net Core) to create a robotics orchestrator
• Python to write async, web API based, microservices + image recognition
• React for frontend UIs
• C++ to implement low level algorithms and firmware
• MQTT for service-to-service communication
• Docker containerise and run services
• Azure for most cloud infrastructure
• Azure DevOps for project management, repos and CI/CD

We are also looking for someone with a good level of experience with general software engineering practices and should have exposure to the following:

• Version control management with Git
• Code reviews and pair programming
• Test frameworks with at least an interest in TDD
• User stories and capturing requirements
• Iterative development and refactoring

The people in Tharsus' team come from backgrounds in robotics, physics, mathematics, aerodynamics, psychology, embedded systems, and computer science. Some have experience in large corporations, other have only ever worked for Tharsus. One person loves pottery; another likes flying planes - we’re a varied bunch and that’s important to us.

This role is a hybrid one with opportunity to work a couple days of the week at home. It’s important that you can commit some time in our factory in Blyth as you’ll be working collaboratively with others on hardware.

If you are interested in this role please reach out at using the details below.
