Join to apply for the Rapid Cyber Software Engineer role at CoreTech Security
Our Capability Development team develops bespoke end-to-end solutions for clients in the Cyber Security domain. Historically, this has meant a specialism in C and C++ development across embedded and mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux variants. We emphasise having a comprehensive understanding of the programming languages, platforms, and tooling we rely on, and are seeing an increased need to deliver an end-to-end product in increasingly short timescales, delivering mission value as quickly as possible.
That deep technical knowledge has helped us earn a reputation for writing novel, robust, and maintainable solutions to our client's challenging and fascinating problems! Our projects are typically delivered by 2-4 person teams over months, rather than years, with daily opportunities to see the direct impact of our work.
We're led by engineers and empowered to optimise our (lightweight!) development processes with the knowledge gained from each project. We are looking for a candidate who holds an active Developed Vettting security clearance to join our team, with experience in producing high-quality end-to-end products across a variety of platforms.
As part of our team, you may be
* Designing a new clean-slate product with complete autonomy over its architecture.
* Adding new capabilities to, or replacing a core component of, an existing product.
* Throwing together a quick-and-dirty prototype to confirm the feasibility of a proposed technical approach; iterating until it meets requirements.
For this role you'll be hands-on in the day-to-day delivery of projects. Typically, this will see you working with one or two other colleagues at a time. In addition, you'll take an active role in unlocking the potential of junior colleagues: encouraging idiomatic code, demonstrating engineering rigour, and sharing hard-won knowledge with your peers. You’ll also help drive our engineering processes to maintain code quality while balancing realistic delivery timescales and client requirements.
Desirable Skills
* Professional experience in the design and implementation of complex solutions that leverage existing platform capabilities to rapidly deliver effects.
* Comfortable with platform APIs, development environments and native debugging approaches on one or more of: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
* Experiencing leading a small or midsize team of developers through a complete project lifecycle, engaging in requirements capture, design review, implementation, and assurance.
* Commitment to code correctness and quality assurance through static analysis, code review, automated testing, and continuous integration.
This vacancy is for experienced software engineers and will require skills and experience in several of the areas listed as well as the ability to lead technical projects.
Work Benefits
* Promotions are based on technical excellence and reviewed regularly.
* 25 days holiday per year (with bank holidays on top), option to buy up to 5 days per year.
* Level up with an extra day of holiday per year, up to an extra 5 days, starting from 2 years' service.
* We offer financial support to cover HMRC allowable costs of relocating if you’re moving to the area.
* Training and development opportunities to support your career aspirations
* O'Reilly books subscription which provides access to huge range of technical books
* Regular events including internal technical conferences, company socials and pizza-fuelled lunchtime seminars.
* Free seasonal fruit, tea, coffee, milk, squash and hot chocolate.
Health Benefits - Private Medical Including Access To
* Private online GP, and a helpline to speak with various healthcare professionals.
* Physiotherapists, osteopaths or chiropractors for muscle, bone, and joint pain.
* Mental health - counselling, and specialist consultations and treatment with psychologists and cognitive behavioural therapists.
* Annual Health assessment.
Financial Benefits
* A company bonus scheme so that everybody is rewarded for company success. This is an annual award that is based on the company hitting its targeted forecast. We have achieved this every year to date.
* 8% company contribution to pension with no minimum requirement for employee contribution.
* Death in Service cover of 4x base salary.
Lifestyle Benefits
* Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption leave: 12 weeks maternity leave at full pay as soon as you join, further enhanced to 20 weeks full pay from 2 years’ service. 2 weeks paternity leave at full pay as soon as you join, further enhanced to 4 weeks full pay from 2 years’ service.
* Enhanced cycle-to-work scheme including the ability to purchase a bike over £1,000 (e-bikes, specialist cycles and trikes allowed).
Salary
We are recruiting staff at all levels in this team, and are able to support market-leading salaries for every grade within our sector/location. We reward staff based on technical excellence and not years of experience, so it's important to us to speak with you to see which grade you would fit into - it's not always obvious from a CV! Your interviewer will spend time during your first interview speaking with you about how your skills and experience map against our grades, and discuss a salary band so that you know early what you can expect if you receive an offer from us. The technical interview will provide a deeper assessment of your skills against your mapped grade which ultimately determines whether you receive an offer and the exact salary.
Location
We are based in the centre of Cheltenham in a stunning new build contemporary office, 5 minutes walk from the local shops and cafes. Our website has a few pictures, which you can take a look at.
Additional Details
Our interview process is quick and to the point: if you look like a good fit for the role, we'll schedule a brief call to discuss it in more detail and answer any questions you may have. If that goes well, we'll arrange a technical interview to understand your level of experience. We aim to get back to you with an answer within a couple of days of the technical interview.
Please note, due to sensitivity of the role, successful applicants must hold an active Developed Vetting security clearance.
