Lead Software Engineer

We are open to candidates of all levels of experience, from senior engineers looking to lead a team or be a high-value IC, to new-grads looking to start their career with a bang.

We are looking for candidates with experience across the development stack, from frontend UX experts who delight in producing a polished and beautiful experience, to networking maestros who understand and optimise the complex topology required to support our platform (and everything in-between).

A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical/scientific subject (or equivalent experience)

Strong core programming skills in either (or both!):

Server-side languages such as C++, Java, Rust or Python

Front-end development in TypeScript or JavaScript, using frameworks such as Angular or React

Several years of software engineering experience in industry

Some history of managing other engineers

A forward-leaning and pragmatic approach to using AI coding tools

This is not an additional list of requirements; this reflects the tech stack currently used at Arondite; any experience in these areas is a bonus

Understanding of working on embedded / resource constrained devices

Experience with Kubernetes

Experience with SQL databases such as PostgreSQL

Experience of machine learning applications

Knowledge of application security best practices and secure coding principles (e.g., OWASP Top 10)

Note: We want Arondite to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We don't expect everyone to have experience across each of these areas. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil this list.

We require that all candidates have an existing Right to Work in the UK at the time of application.

We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be, and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.
