Our world-leading Time & Frequency department are seeking an experienced and practicing Software Engineer.
About the Role
You will be joining our team at an exciting time - we maintain the UK’s National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing a new resilient Time Scale facility that will underpin our Critical National Infrastructure. This 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 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, analyse 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:
Reporting to a Programme Manager, you’ll enjoy responsibility for the development of software to defined timelines and budget. You’ll utilise your analytical and technical skills to contribute toward the design and implementation of software which pushes the boundaries of measurement accuracy and stability.
To be successful in this role, you will have the following skills, experience, and qualifications:
- Recent and proven experience in design and delivery of production-ready software
- Degree level educated in Computer Science, Mathematics (or closely related discipline), or equivalent experience
- Team leadership
- 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
- CI/CD practices
We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.
Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
