Software Engineer
Based in Stevenage
Up to £65,000 + bonus + strong benefits
You know the difference between code that works… and code that has to work.
This role sits right in that space.
You’ll be building real-time, embedded software that captures and processes critical system data, the kind that tells engineers whether a complex defence system performs as expected, or doesn’t. No grey areas.
It’s hands-on. Proper engineering.
C, C++, multi-threading, hardware integration, performance tuning.
You’ll be:
-
Designing and developing real-time embedded software
-
Building scalable, robust architectures for high-performance systems
-
Working closely with hardware and systems teams, not in isolation
-
Debugging, optimising, and getting systems ready for real-world use
-
Contributing to integration, verification, and test at system level
This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s build, solve, iterate, deliver.
You’ll need:
-
Strong C/C++ experience in embedded or real-time environments
-
Experience with multi-threaded systems and performance optimisation
-
API design and development (preferably Rest).
-
A practical, delivery-focused mindset
-
Exposure to CI/CD, Git, and modern development practices
If you’ve worked on data capture, video, or tools like Wireshark or LabVIEW, even better, but not essential.
You’ll be joining a small, capable team working on some of the most advanced systems in the UK, where what you build genuinely matters.
If you want to work on complex problems, in a team that values proper engineering, this is worth a conversation.
