  • Build awesome software that you are proud of

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science/related engineering field
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing performant modern C++, or high willingness to learn C++ which is our primary programming language for all development
  • Strong procedural and object-oriented programming experience that employs clean code principles and good OOP design patterns/principles
  • Experience developing in Docker and containerized development environments, and using Linux-based operating systems

Travel Requirements:

  • General willingness to travel for company business between our offices, as well as to customer sites

Security Requirements:

  • Must have ability to hold UK Security Clearance (current or previous preferred)

Nice to have:

  • 7+ years of experience developing software in modern C++ and Python
  • Experience working on distributed systems, with simulation technology and autonomy
  • Experience with Bazel, Nix and other similar technologies
  • Experience deploying to, and working with infrastructure technologies
