Job Description:
Full job descriptionCompany

We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to join a growing technology company developing software for specialist products used in highly demanding environments.
This is an application development role, focused on building robust C++ applications that run on Linux-based embedded platforms. It’s not a firmware or electronics position, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys developing software close to the hardware, without spending their days writing device drivers or low-level firmware.


Role

*Developing and enhancing applications written in C++
*Building software for Linux-based embedded and edge devices
*Working on performance-critical systems where efficiency and reliability matter
*Contributing to software architecture and technical decision-making
*Collaborating with a small team of experienced engineers to deliver high-quality products


Person

We’re keen to speak with engineers who have experience in:
*Modern C++ development
*Linux application development
*Embedded Linux environments
*Software performance optimisation and memory management
*TCP/IP networking and communications protocols
*Developing software that interacts with hardware or runs on embedded devices
You’ll be someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and takes pride in writing clean, well-engineered code.


Security Clearance RequirementsDue to the nature of the work, candidates must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC).
To be considered, you’ll typically need:
*A minimum of 5 years’ residency in the UK
*A clear and consistent employment and address history during that period
*To hold one of the following:
*A British passport, or
*Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), or
*A valid UK residency status that supports SC clearance eligibility
If you’ve built your career around C++ and Linux application development, and you’re looking for a role where your software runs on real-world devices rather than in the cloud, I’d love to hear from you.
