Are you an experienced software engineer looking to take principal-level ownership of a complex, real-world distributed system used across security and critical infrastructure environments?
This is a senior technical role within a specialist engineering business building software that directly integrates with radiation detection hardware deployed in highly sensitive settings. The platform powers real-time monitoring, telemetry, alerting and operational decision‑making, supporting customers where reliability, security and accuracy are critical.
You will take ownership of a distributed, microservices‑based platform, shaping its architecture and technical direction while remaining hands‑on with development. Working closely with a small but highly capable onshore team and an established offshore engineering function, you will have genuine influence over how the system evolves and how features are delivered.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys deep technical challenges, architectural responsibility and working on systems that have tangible, real‑world impact.
The Role:
- Ownership of a Linux‑based, microservices‑driven software platform
- Hands‑on development across core services and system components
- Defining and evolving secure, scalable system architecture
- Working closely with and guiding offshore engineering teams
- Contributing to strong testing, CI/CD and DevSecOps practices
The Person:
- Strong experience with distributed systems and microservices architectures
- Comfortable operating in Linux‑heavy, security‑constrained environments
- Hands‑on engineer with architectural ownership experience
- Strong testing mindset with CI/CD and DevSecOps exposure
- Confident influencing technical direction within small, senior teams
