Job Description

Software Engineer

Position Description
Would you like to be part of something meaningful? Do you want to work on real projects that make a difference in the world? Are you ready to develop the skills and understanding you need for a career in IT through both training and hands-on experience? Then join us as Software Engineer
Are you passionate about and comfortable working with all forms of technology – from the simplest of mobile devices to complex end-to-end physical and virtual systems? Do you have an appreciation of Linux system administration, virtualisation, networking, and scripting or programming? Is the thought of doing the same thing day in, day out, one that gives you nightmares? Finally, does the thought of sometimes being paid to play Candy Crush appeal to you (yes, really!)?

The Secure Innovation and Advisory business area of the Space, Defence and Intelligence BU is seeking a new member with a variety of software and infrastructure skills to join one of its Gloucester based service delivery teams. Due to the nature of the client and the systems, remote working is not possible.

Your future duties and responsibilities
As a Software Engineer in the SD&I Business Unit, you might be asked to diagnose faults in complex end to end systems looking across the infrastructure and operating system, its configuration and the software running on it; automate or improve a time consuming or inefficient process; execute tests of new software releases on either server or mobile platforms, or simply complete regular maintenance or support tasks. Additionally, you may be called upon to provide estimates for and to support the preparation of new proposals to clients. Sometimes all in one day!

You will have good communication skills, both written and verbal, which you will use to collaborate and share knowledge with technical customers and colleagues. You will be comfortable in a dynamic environment in which task priorities might shift at a moment’s notice, and where you’re expected – and trusted – to work both collaboratively and autonomously as the situation requires. You will be a self-starter with a thirst for knowledge who’s able to learn quickly, and be able to demonstrate initiative in the application of your experience to your work and your approach to it. Ideally, you’ll be mobile in order to make occasional unaccompanied visits to the client site – subject to clearance.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role
This is not a definitive list – the more the better. We’re looking more for a breadth of experience rather than expertise in one or two of these. Not having a particular skill on the list would not preclude you from the role.

C/C++ , Java, Bash Scripting, Linux (Centos / Ubuntu variants), Virtualisation (Amazon AWS, VMWare), VPNs (IPSec/L2TP), Networking (IPv4), IP protocols (HTTP/S, S/FTP, streaming protocols)
Mobile Devices (Android, iOS), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel)

Due to the secure nature of the clients we work with you will have to hold a UK Security Clearance, ideally at a higher level. If you do not currently hold such a clearance you must be eligible for and be prepared to go through the clearance process and any role on the team would be dependent on you securing it.
