Cambridge, United Kingdom Wave Photonics Full time

About us

At Wave Photonics, we are building a platform to enable and accelerate the development, mass production and adoption of integrated photonics technologies. Integrated photonics will be crucial in enabling a host of applications ranging from energy-efficient communications, wearable healthcare sensors, rapid diagnostic tools, optical tensor processors, on-chip LiDAR, quantum computing and communication, and many more. We believe that many obstacles in developing these technologies can be removed using a combination of simulation, statistical modelling and optimisation techniques.

Founded in 2021, we have backing from great investors in Silicon Valley, the UK, and the EU, and are leading/contributing to multiple projects funded by the UK's innovation agency, Innovate UK. We were also successful in winning a prestigious European Innovation Council Accelerator project to develop solutions for frontier applications of integrated photonics.

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Full-Stack Web Developer to join our team and contribute to our aim of accelerating the growth and adoption of integrated photonics technologies.

You will have an opportunity to shape and contribute to product releases to bring Wave Photonics’ library of components to the market.

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in back-end development and experience with front-end development with hands-on experience building products.

You will have a say in product development and translate business objectives and product designs into high-quality products delivered in a timely manner.

You will be attentive to detail, enthusiastic to tackle problems and develop innovative high-performing solutions. You will bring a willingness and desire to learn, grow and stay on top of the latest web technologies.

This role would involve collaborating with photonics engineers and other stakeholders to define and deliver high-quality products that support the organisation’s aim to unlock the potential of integrated photonics. You will have good communication skills and ability to work with other teams.

You will be a core member of our small but growing team, contributing to key deliverables and milestones that drive our product development.

We value enthusiastic people who bring a willingness to learn new things and challenge existing ideas.
