Senior Software Engineer – Mission Planning & Control

Bristol

Up to £65k + bonus

Looking for a role that actually means something?

You will be developing the next generation of mission planning and control systems, complex desktop applications used by armed forces around the world. This is cutting-edge software engineering that makes a real-world impact.

You’ll be hands-on with design, development and delivery across the full lifecycle, working in a tight-knit, collaborative team. Expect plenty of technical challenges, autonomy, and the chance to mentor others while shaping the direction of new products.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong skills in Core Java and/or C++
  • Experience taking complex systems from concept to delivery
  • Confidence working with software requirements, design, and validation
  • A practical, collaborative approach — with great communication skills

What’s in it for you:

  • Salary up to £65,000 + bonus up to £2,500
  • Up to 14% pension contribution
  • Overtime
  • Flexible leave – up to 15 extra days
  • Great on-site facilities and a genuine focus on work-life balance

You’ll join a company that believes peace, freedom and sovereignty are worth protecting, and that starts with the technology they build.

Even if you’re not actively looking, it’s worth a chat. This could be the most rewarding move you make.
