Are you an experienced Software Engineer who takes pride in writing clean, efficient, well-structured code? Do you enjoy owning projects end-to-end, solving complex technical challenges and contributing to high-performance, mission-critical software products?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful, growing, employee-owned technology business that designs and delivers advanced broadcast technology used by professional media organisations around the world.
Working as part of a close-knit engineering team, you'll play a key role in enhancing existing products, developing new products and features, supporting released software and contributing to long‑term technical innovation.
As Senior Software Engineer, you'll work closely with the Software Product Lead (CTO) and wider development team to deliver ongoing improvements, performance enhancements and new capabilities across the company's suite of software products. Your work will directly influence product stability, customer experience and future roadmap direction. This is a highly involved, full‑lifecycle engineering role where your ideas and judgement will be valued from day one.

* Assist in research, innovation and IP creation across DSP, algorithmic development and next‑generation processing platforms.
* Follow best practice for build, validation, testing and release within Linux environments.
You'll be a confident, capable software engineer with strong C++ skills and experience developing professional‑grade software products. Equally comfortable working independently or within a team, you'll bring strong problem‑solving ability, solid communication skills and a mature, structured approach to engineering.
