We need 2-8 years proficiency working in a commercial Software Engineering role/team using either C#, C++ or Python. Ideally you'll have worked with Vue/Django, JavaScript/Typescript.

You should have Distributed Computing experience, ideally in an AWS environment and working with Cloud Architecture to apply for this role. this will be supported by a mix of Kubernetes cluster experience, PostgreSQL and Linux platform background.

You'll have a strong knowledge of software design patterns and modern engineering principles and clear communication/interpersonal skills are a must for working closely with internal teams. Experience to help guide the team and confidently push back when needed is essential.

Experience in a Mechanical Engineering environment will stand out with some exposure to Computional Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

What you'll get in return
The company offers 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, flexible working hours, a pension with a 9% employer contribution, private healthcare covering dental & health screening.
