About us

At Polaris, we're on a mission to create a safer and fairer world. We provide software solutions that empower police forces and local authorities to enforce and track traffic and parking offences, manage permits and licenses, and control high-risk assets like firearms and tasers.


Since securing support from August Equity in May 2023, we've been on an exciting growth trajectory. We've expanded our reach both in the UK and internationally, acquired key companies like Farthest Gate and JML Software Solutions, and invested heavily in our operations.


Our goal is to build a data-driven, professionally managed organisation with robust systems and processes, poised for consistent growth and ready to seize new opportunities. We've united our legacy brands under the Polaris name, creating a dynamic new identity that reflects our vision for the future.

  • Is always looking for and implementing opportunities for continuous improvement, aiming for that high bar of engineering excellence

  • c. 5+ years’ hands-on experience working as a software engineering including distributed systems
  • c. 2+ years’ experience as a manager building, leading and developing teams in the creation of complex software systems

  • Have developed a flexible approach to work, adapting your thinking and delivery methods to achieve the target outcomes
  • Desirable to have full stack experience across backend, frontend and platforms e.g. Java, C#, React, Angular, Azure, AWS with strong exposure to good security practices. Knowledge of app development helpful i.e. Kotlin and Swift.
