Software Engineer

We’re partnering with an established, engineering led organisation in Oxford that’s looking for a talented Software Engineer to join its growing development team.

The team is open to different levels of experience. What matters most is strong technical ability, a genuine interest in software engineering and the ability to solve challenging problems using C++ and Python.

You’ll work on sophisticated backend systems that support business critical applications, contributing across the full software development lifecycle and helping to build reliable, scalable software using modern engineering practices.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting stuck into technically challenging work, cares about software quality and wants to work alongside other highly capable engineers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing, developing and maintaining software using C++ and Python

• Building reliable, scalable backend systems and services

• Writing clean, well tested and maintainable code

• Working with experienced engineers to solve complex technical challenges

• Contributing throughout the full software development lifecycle, from design through to deployment and ongoing support

• Participating in a shared on call support rota

What We’re Looking For

We’re open on level, so you don’t need to fit a particular seniority or job title. We’re more interested in your technical ability, approach to problem solving and the quality of your software engineering.

You’ll ideally have experience across many of the following:

• Commercial software development using C++ and Python

• Developing software within Linux environments

• Building backend systems and services

• Git and version control

• Strong software engineering principles and practices

• Solving complex technical problems

• Working effectively within a collaborative engineering team

A degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or another STEM discipline would be beneficial, although equivalent commercial experience is equally welcome.

Desirable Experience

Experience in any of the following would be useful, but isn’t essential:

• Distributed systems or scalable backend architectures

• TCP/IP networking

• SQL and data processing

• Pandas

• Bash scripting

• Working with large and complex datasets

• Financial services, scientific computing or another performance driven technical environment

What’s on Offer

• Salary and package dependent on experience and level

• The opportunity to work on genuinely challenging technical projects

• A collaborative engineering culture with real ownership and autonomy

• Ongoing professional development and long term career progression

• The chance to work alongside highly capable software engineers and learn from the wider team

Location

This is a full time, office based role in Oxford, with the team working onsite five days per week.

Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK as visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Interested?

If you’re a C++ and Python engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical problems and building high quality software, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be at a particular level to apply. If your experience looks relevant, we’ll be in touch to discuss the opportunity, where you could fit within the team and the package available at your level.
