Job Title:

Software Engineer

Location:

Cambridge, United Kingdom (Hybrid)

Employment Type:

Full-time

As a Software Engineer in the Cloud UE (Unified Engineering) team, you will help design, build, and operate the services and streaming environments that deliver AVEVA's Unified Engineering products to customers as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

You will work across serverless APIs, identity and access flows, Windows-centric infrastructure, and desktop streaming technologies. You will contribute to CI/CD and infrastructure automation, champion security and compliance, and support service reliability and performance. As you gain experience, there may be an opportunity to join the team's on-call rotation in the future, with full mentoring and support.

This is a role for someone early in their career who is eager to learn, proactive by nature, and excited by the opportunity to work across a broad and modern technology stack in a team that truly owns what it builds. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you will be expected to have the curiosity, drive, and resilience to grow quickly.

• Build scalable AWS SaaS services: contribute to the design, development, and support of highly available platform components.
• Develop integrations and serverless capabilities: deliver and maintain APIs (API Gateway/Lambda), event-driven workflows, and identity/SCIM integrations with AVEVA CONNECT.
• Operate and improve cloud environments: support desktop streaming (Amazon Work Spaces Applications) and Windows-centric infrastructure (EC2, FSx, Active Directory, DynamoDB) with strong observability and cost/performance focus.
• Deliver securely with automation and teamwork: write clean, tested, documented, deployable code; contribute to CI/CD and infrastructure automation (Azure Pipelines, Cloud Formation, Step Functions); collaborate in agile planning, troubleshoot issues, communicate risks, and continuously learn.

• Proactive, self-starting, and ownership-driven — takes initiative and cares about quality and production behaviour.
• Curious and growth-minded — eager to learn new technologies, approaches, and continuously improve.
• Able to work independently in a distributed team — manages time well, operates autonomously, stays accountable.
• Resilient, collaborative communicator — positive with challenges, asks questions, shares knowledge, and communicates clearly in writing and verbally.

• AWS & cloud foundations: VPC, EC2, S3, IAM/security groups; plus awareness of serverless (API Gateway/Lambda/DynamoDB), containers (Docker/ECS), and monitoring (Cloud Watch/Datadog).
• Software engineering & languages: practical development experience in C# and JavaScript/Type Script (Angular/Node.js), comfortable working across multiple languages, with solid Git-based workflows.
• Dev Ops & delivery: understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (e.g., Azure Pipelines) and infrastructure automation/IaC (Cloud Formation, Terraform or similar).
• Windows & security fundamentals:
  Windows administration (AD, Group Policy, Power Shell, enterprise deployment/packaging awareness) and security best practices (SSO/SCIM, least privilege, encryption, network segmentation).

Our global team of 2000+ developers work on an incredibly diverse portfolio of over 75 industrial automation and engineering products, which cover everything from data management to 3D design. AI and cloud are at the centre of our strategy, and we have over 150 patents to our name.

Our track record of innovation is no fluke – it's the result of a structured and deliberate focus on learning, collaboration and inclusivity. If you want to build applications that solve big problems, join us.
