Job description

You'll join a collaborative, engineering-led team where your contributions will directly influence system efficiency, scalability, and technical direction.

Why This Role is Great

  • Contribute to highly optimised C++ codebases in performance-sensitive environments
  • Solve technical problems that combine software, hardware interaction, and data flow
  • Explore ways to improve responsiveness, efficiency, and throughput at scale
  • Work with a range of technical colleagues, including engineers and researchers
  • Take part in architectural decisions and the future direction of complex systems

This is a hands-on role with the chance to shape software that supports cutting-edge work across a variety of industries.

Requirements

Do you enjoy solving performance challenges in real-time environments?

Looking to work on software that interacts closely with hardware and advanced processing?

Ready to contribute to systems that support innovation across multiple sectors?, This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives on systems-level problem solving and has experience or interest in:

  • Modern C++ development, with a focus on optimisation or performance
  • Working with hardware-aware or real-time systems
  • Exploring low-level system behaviour and improving efficiency
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on technical design and delivery
  • Experience in areas like graphics, simulation, scientific computing, embedded systems, or applied ML would be valuable-but not essential. Transferable skills and curiosity are just as important.

Benefits & conditions

  • A competitive salary package
  • Strong employer pension contribution
  • Private healthcare cover
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Flexible, supportive working culture focused on long-term growth
  • Opportunities to contribute to meaningful, widely-used technology
