About the role

If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems and building software that has real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you.

We're growing our engineering teams and recruiting Software Developers at all experience levels to help tackle some of the most interesting challenges in cyber security. Whether you're designing intuitive user interfaces, developing cloud-native applications, building scalable backend services, processing large volumes of data, or working close to the operating system, you'll be creating technology that protects critical systems and makes a genuine difference.

You'll work closely with customers, stakeholders and experienced engineers to turn complex problems into elegant solutions, while helping shape the technology, architecture and direction of our products. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to learn new skills, deepen your expertise, and grow your career in a collaborative environment that values curiosity, innovation and continuous learning.

Note: To apply for this role you must already hold the relevant DV Security Clearance. This job role can be based in Ipswich, London or Manchester. Due to security requirements, this role requires you to be located on site during your working hours. Mon-Fri 37.5.

What you’ll be doing

Above all, we're looking for engineers who are naturally curious, enjoy solving difficult problems, and are excited by the opportunity to work across multiple areas of software engineering. You don't need to tick every box. If you're passionate about technology, enjoy learning, and have experience in some of the technologies or disciplines we've described, we encourage you to apply. We're interested in people with strong fundamentals, an appetite for solving challenging problems, and the ambition to continually develop their skills. If you're equally excited by the prospect of building a polished user interface, designing backend services, analysing system performance, working with cloud-native platforms, or exploring how software works under the hood, you'll fit right in.
