Software Engineer, Full Stack Developer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Software Engineer

Location:

Abingdon, Oxfordshire (hybrid working available)

Salary: £45,000 – £65,000 DOE + Excellent Benefits

Overview

An innovative organisation specialising in engineering design, advanced manufacturing, and materials development is seeking a Software Engineer to develop bespoke software platforms supporting component design, alloy optimisation, additive manufacturing, and quality assurance workflows.

This role requires strong technical depth, particularly in C++, alongside experience in cluster computing or web application development. The successful candidate will collaborate with engineers and scientists to deliver scalable, production-grade solutions used in high-performance applications such as turbine components and advanced 3D printing.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain modules across multiple custom software platforms.

Build and integrate tools for simulation, data analysis, component design, and workflow automation.

Develop scalable services, including wrapping in-house and third-party tools.

Contribute to cloud-based and distributed solutions (AWS/Azure), following modern Dev Ops practices.

Support use cases including complex component design, materials optimisation, additive manufacturing, and production monitoring.

Work within agile processes, contributing to requirements, testing, and iterative delivery.

Essential Requirements

Degree (2:1 or above) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.

Strong programming expertise in C++ (in-depth knowledge required), plus Python and/or C#.

Experience in cluster computing and/or web application development.

Solid understanding of object-oriented design and software engineering principles.

Experience with agile methodologies and test-driven development.

Ability to deliver complex technical solutions independently in a multidisciplinary environment.

Desirable

Full-stack development experience ( Core, Blazor, React, Type Script, WPF).

Knowledge of 3D geometry, CAD integration, or simulation tools (FEA, CFD).

Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform).

Experience or interest in machine learning applications within engineering contexts.

Ideal Profile

An early to mid-career software engineer (2–5 years’ experience) with strong technical foundations and demonstrable depth in C++, ideally with exposure to distributed or web-based systems, and an interest in applying software expertise within advanced manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defence, or energy
