• Contribute across the software stack, including C# and ASP.NET Core services
• Work alongside mechanical and electrical engineers to align software with machine behaviour
• Tackle complex technical challenges involving geometry, optimisation, and modelling
• Support and enhance development workflows using Git and Azure DevOps
• Based in Nottingham, 5 days p/w in the office with flexible core hours.

The Person

• Strong commercial experience with C++, including desktop applications
