Software Developer, Graduate to Experienced (27504)

For graduates, postgraduates and experienced professionals seeking a 2026 start (April through summer) in their next role. This software engineering position does require eligibility for a high level of security clearance; British nationals with UK residence may meet this requirement.

This established company produce a variety of high-tech solutions for corporate and government use. Projects are wide-ranging and frequently involve signal processing, image processing, and low level or embedded software engineering in C / C++ / Rust in addition to higher level work in Python, TypeScript and JavaScript. The successful candidate will be adaptable to this variety of work.

You will bring:

• A 1st or 2:1 in a numerate subject from a top university, possibly (though not necessarily) a PhD, and strong A-level or equivalent grades (A* equivalent) in at least Maths and Physics.
• Prior software development experience in C, C++, Python, TypeScript or JavaScript. It is likely you will have made major design and implementation contributions to at least one sizeable project (an application or system of some complexity rather than a website or simple web service), and will have a good knowledge of at least one other relevant programming language as well.
• Your ability to learn quickly and interest in providing technical solutions to real-world problems.
• Excellent communication skills in written and verbal technical and conversational English.

Given anticipated competition for this role, one or more relevant specialisations would be positive, for instance in embedded development, signal processing, or image processing – towards a real world application rather than for purely research or educational purposes. Extracurricular software project work, internships, and evidence of interest in the commercial sector would be advantageous.

You’d be joining a successful SME who offer the chance to be involved in many facets of the business, with a good amount of individual responsibility leading to a rewarding role with plenty of technical challenges. Remuneration is competitive along with benefits. Day to day work is office based with flexible hours. Job offers are contingent on passing security clearance.

Please note: even if you don’t have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest – we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
