This is an excellent opportunity to join this culturally supportive company who embrace diversity and champion group efforts. As a start-up, they are keen to hire people who want to grow with the company, and learn from others in this multidisciplinary team.

Based at their new offices close to Reading, this scientific engineering company is expanding and keen to hire a number of people to help them tackle intrinsically difficult problems. Their key philosophy is one based on collaborative brain power - meshing traditional engineering in electronics and software with cutting edge knowledge in physics and deep technology.

To join them as their Lead Software Engineer, you’ll be inquisitive by nature - have the traditional background in software, engineering or physics but have taken on different roles as a Software Developer in your career. You’ll be at a point where your seniority within a company has given you the responsibility to technically lead projects and line manage a small team whilst still enjoy coding when possible. You possibly are just looking for a new challenge, but more than likely just want to work on really interesting technology.
