Senior Software Engineer | Cambridge | Scientific Software & Control Systems | Python | Data Visualisation | Hardware Integration
Location: Cambridge, UK
Are you an experienced Software Engineer who thrives on complex problem solving, mathematical reasoning, and building software that interacts with the physical world?
We’re working with a pioneering engineering business based in Cambridge who are developing advanced tools at the intersection of science, data and real-time control. Their systems are used in industrial, research and high-tech settings to drive innovation and improve measurement, automation and analysis across a range of domains.
This role will see you working across the full software lifecycle, contributing to systems that bring together sophisticated user interfaces, mathematical data processing and hardware communication. You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team made up of engineers and scientists, building tools that push technical boundaries and deliver meaningful impact.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Developing robust scientific software using Python and engineering libraries such as NumPy and SciPy
* Designing and building end-to-end systems from user interface through to hardware interaction
* Writing clean, maintainable and testable code using modern best practices
* Collaborating with multidisciplinary colleagues to design, develop and improve internal tools and external products
* Engaging in technical decision making and contributing to the growth of a high-performing team
The ideal candidate will be someone who thrives on complexity and is energised by difficult, unsolved technical challenges. You’ll bring a sharp intellect, particularly in mathematical and scientific problem-solving, and have the ability to translate abstract concepts into elegant, functional software. You're likely someone who isn’t just looking for another job but for a meaningful technical mission where your skills are pushed and your curiosity rewarded. If you love working through knotty problems that require deep thinking and you’re constantly seeking to refine your craft, you’ll fit right in.
* 5years+ of experience in professional software engineering
* Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or similar
* Solid experience with test-driven development, CI/CD workflows and version control
* Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, both verbally and in writing
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a growing, technically sophisticated company building products with real scientific and industrial value. You'll have autonomy, the chance to work on a variety of systems and a collaborative environment that values innovation and clarity of thought.
