About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and practicing Senior Software Engineer to join our team at the National Physical Laboratory.

We are a hybrid organization, with a mix of remote and office working. We strive to offer a great work-life balance, and we will consider flexible options for the right candidate.

You will be working on a critical project that will underpin our National Time Scale, UTC (NPL). This project will address the risks associated with our dependency on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.

As Senior Software Engineer, you'll collaborate with prominent Scientists and Engineers to develop and implement innovative, production-ready software to time, quality, and cost.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborating with senior stakeholders to ensure that software aligns with business strategy
  • Working cross-functionally to gather project requirements, analyze feasibility, and provide technical recommendations
  • Leadership of an Agile Software team, with review of work
  • Code reviews to ensure cleanliness, efficiency, and quality through testing and debugging, and adherence of standards throughout the software development cycle
  • Working as a team to accurately assess and communicate risks and mitigations
  • Explaining complex tech concepts and advisory to both internal and external stakeholders, from technical and non-technical backgrounds
  • Staying up-to-date with the latest trends, tools, and technologies in software engineering and sharing your knowledge to advance the team

This role offers exciting opportunities to collaborate with subject-matter experts across the business.

About You

We believe that diversity and unique perspectives are key to the success of our science projects. For this role, we particularly encourage applications from candidates underrepresented in STEM disciplines, in particular women, disabled, black, Asian, and minority ethnic candidates.

Reporting to a Programme Manager, you'll enjoy responsibility for the development of software to defined timelines and budget. You'll utilize your analytical and technical skills to contribute toward the design and implementation of software which pushes the boundaries of measurement accuracy and stability.

Requirements

  • Degree level educated in Computer Science, Mathematics, or closely related discipline from a leading University, or equivalent experience
  • Proven and recent experience in design and delivery of production-ready software
  • Previous experience of leading an Agile software team
  • Risk management and communication
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts
  • Team player with a proactive, never-fail attitude in the face of ambiguous situations

Essential Technical Skills:

  • Python
  • GIT / Linux
  • DevOps methodology
  • Azure
  • Docker

Highly-desirable Technical Skills:

  • Telegraf/Influx/Grafana stack
  • CICD practices

It is also desirable if you have an interest in Physics, measurements, and communications, for example:

  • Time and frequency measurement and time scales
  • Real-time monitoring and control of electronic hardware
  • Satellite communication, optical fibre, and GNSS-based systems
