Winchester (Hybrid, 4 days per week in the office)
£75,000 - £85,000 + Private Healthcare + Enhanced Pension

Are you an experienced software engineer looking to take principal-level ownership of a complex, real-world distributed system used across security and critical infrastructure environments?

This is a senior technical role within a specialist engineering business building software that directly integrates with radiation detection hardware deployed in highly sensitive settings. The platform powers real-time monitoring, telemetry, alerting and operational decision-making, supporting customers where reliability, security and accuracy are critical.

You will take ownership of a distributed, microservices-based platform, shaping its architecture and technical direction while remaining hands-on with development. Working closely with a small but highly capable onshore team and an established offshore engineering function, you will have genuine influence over how the system evolves and how features are delivered.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys deep technical challenges, architectural responsibility and working on systems that have tangible, real-world impact.

The Role:
* Ownership of a Linux-based, microservices-driven software platform
* Hands-on development across core services and system components
* Defining and evolving secure, scalable system architecture
* Working closely with and guiding offshore engineering teams
* Contributing to strong testing, CI/CD and DevSecOps practices

The Person
* Strong experience with distributed systems and microservices architectures
* Comfortable operating in Linux-heavy, security-constrained environments
* Hands-on engineer with architectural ownership experience
* Strong testing mindset with CI/CD and DevSecOps exposure
* Confident influencing technical direction within small, senior teams
