We want to develop a new generation of features and capabilities using innovative software solutions and we need you to create them.  You will be a key part in a community of world-class software engineers who will continuously improve, collaborate and innovate with other engineers to create market-leading products within the defence industry.

What we are looking for:

Essential

• Experience using tools associated with Iterative development lifecycles (Jira / DevOps.)
• Familiarity with development to design and coding standards.
• Work in our Basildon office 3-4 days a week.  Employees are welcome to work onsite 5 days a week, but our flexible working allows working from home.  This project will require time onsite regularly, but it will vary depending on the work required. 

Useful to have

• Flexible benefits: Our company-funded approach to flexible benefits allows employees to make choices appropriate for them. Each employee has access to a wide choice of lifestyle, health and wellbeing options best suited to their individual lifestyle goals.
• Above average employer pension contributions
• Annual bonus
• Annual leave: We offer 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays and 12 flexi days
