Senior Software Engineer, Python, Computer Vision

Senior Software Engineer, Python, Computer Vision, to £600 per day

An immediate need for a Senior Software Engineer with strong skills in Python, Linux, Docker, and ideally Computer Vision, has arisen with an innovative technology company. Offered as an initial 3-month contract within IR35, the contract can be offered on an either a fully-remote basis, or hybrid, with offices in South Oxfordshire.

The Senior Software Engineer will be embedded within a cross-functional engineering team, working closely with researchers, systems engineers, and fellow software developers. You will take ownership of project delivery from initial brief through to scoping, design, implementation, and testing — going deep on a focused area of work rather than context-switching across multiple work streams. Depending on your strengths, this could span camera and network integration, real-time video processing pipelines, or tooling built to accelerate R&D and large-scale evaluation.

This is an established technology company based in South East England, working on a vision-based monitoring product for use in clinical environments. They operate across research and engineering disciplines, with a team culture that values autonomy, technical rigour, and close collaboration. The nature of their work requires the highest standards of integrity, given that their solutions are deployed in settings involving vulnerable individuals.

• Demonstrable expertise in Python, Linux, and Docker across real-world production or research environments
• A proven record of completing technical projects independently, delivering to specification and on schedule, with the confidence to take a loose brief and drive it through to a finished outcome
• Experience ideally in one or more specialist areas: camera and network integration (including streaming protocols such as RTSP or ONVIF), real-time video analytics, edge deployment, or R&D infrastructure such as synthetic data pipelines and evaluation tooling
