Senior Software Engineer

Where innovation meets independence in advanced software development

This highly profitable and independent company develops specialised software and associated electronics used for sensor processing and display systems. Their international customer base spans from multi-nationals to boutique startups. They are long established in this space and are looking to grow their engineering team.

Strong C++ programming skills are essential, but problem-solving ability and adaptability are equally valued. Someone bright and inquisitive who can make intelligent design decisions, often working from high-level requirements rather than detailed specifications is needed. You'll occasionally interface directly with customer engineers during integration discussions, so communication skills matter.

You will be provided an unusual level of autonomy from project specifications through to final release. You will work across a diverse portfolio of products including low-level algorithms, customer-specific device drivers, network interfaces and UIs. While C++ is the primary language, additional skills in web UI languages/frameworks and C# would be beneficial but not required. You will need to be comfortable developing for both Windows and Linux.

This role suits someone who thrives in a smaller company environment. You'll have significant initiative and autonomy without the bureaucracy of larger organisations. Autonomy doesn’t mean you will be working in a vacuum, the engineering environment is supportive and welcoming, and you can expect others to help with problem solving, idea generation and other similar activities.

Alongside the competitive salary there are good benefits including a company profit share scheme, a generous company pension scheme and health insurance which covers family members.
