Surrey - 5 days onsite
£50,000–£85,000 + benefits
UK Passport required - eligible for MOD clearance 

Standard 8 is recruiting a Senior Java/C++ GUI Developer for a defence engineering team building real-time, high-data systems used in live operational environments.

This is not web apps. It’s performance-heavy software, complex GUIs and systems that have to work first time.

The Job

You’ll join an experienced Java team developing desktop applications for data-intensive, mathematically heavy systems.

Day to day:

• Building Java applications with JavaFX or Swing

• Working in Linux environments

• Contributing to real-time processing systems

• Getting stuck into C++ where needed

• Testing properly, not just hoping for the best

What You Need

• 5+ years’ Java background software engineering experience

• Solid GUI development using JavaFX or Swing

• Some C++ experience (at least a year)

• Experience with real-time or high-throughput systems

• Comfortable working on Linux

You’ll need to be methodical, adaptable and take pride in your work. No hand-holding.

Nice to Have

• Linux optimisation and deployment experience

• Networking fundamentals (IP protocols, Ethernet configuration)

• Low-level Linux or driver interfacing

• DSP, signal or image processing knowledge

Non-Negotiables

• UK national with a valid UK passport

• Able to work onsite five days a week

• Relevant degree (or equivalent technical background)

If you’re an experienced engineer who prefers serious technical work over corporate theatre, we should speak.
