Software Engineer

Permanent | Hybrid

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Software Engineer to join a highly technical engineering team developing sophisticated software for complex, real-world systems.

You’ll work across a variety of projects involving software development, data processing, sensor integration and machine vision, ranging from rapid proof-of-concept work through to robust software components used within long-lived engineering products.

This would suit an engineer with a strong STEM background, excellent problem-solving skills and solid software engineering fundamentals. Specialist domain knowledge isn’t essential and can be developed within the role.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and maintaining high-quality, reusable software components.
• Working across projects using Python, C#, C++, TypeScript and modern web technologies.
• Contributing to system design, technical decisions and code reviews.
• Debugging, profiling and optimising complex or performance-sensitive software.
• Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Supporting both rapid development projects and longer-term product development.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong programming ability in one or more languages such as Python, C#, C++, TypeScript or similar.
• Good understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP).
• Strong software engineering fundamentals including modular design, separation of concerns, version control, testing and debugging.
• Experience developing well-structured software for complex systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• A STEM background such as Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or equivalent practical experience.

Desirable

Experience in any of the following would be advantageous:

• Machine vision or image/data processing.
• Sensor or hardware integration.
• Multi-threaded, real-time or performance-sensitive software.
• Windows or Linux desktop application development.
• Working across the full software stack.
• Contributing to established, shared codebases.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Software Engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, learning new technologies and developing software that interacts with complex real-world systems.
