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.
