Hybrid -ad-hoc office visits either Edinburgh, Dundee or Bristol depending on location (whichever is closest!)
If you are a Front End Developer/Engineer motivated by solving complex real-world challenges in an environment created for engineers by engineers, there won't be many opportunities that hold a candle to this...
In this role, you will be joining of the UK's leading space-tech start-ups, who have recently secured £millions of sustainable investment as rocket fuel (get the pun?) to their growth. Over the last decade, they've left the chasing pack behind tobecome industry leaders in the creation of in-flight and mission control software used at the heart of satellite missionsfor some of the leading Space Agencies, Research Organisations, and Academic Institutions.
Innovation and R+D will play a big part in your journey here. This means you'll be working almost entirely on new, customer-driven projects, whilst working to evolve the core product offering that has made this organisation so unique. The main focus of the role will be to work on the UIs and GUIs for their in-flight mission control software, launch control software, and flight simulation engine.
You'll be pushed to realise your potential, with senior management and the CTO actively encouraging new hires to pick up some of the most challenging project work, giving you influence and visibility from the get-go (one of the many benefits of working for a smaller organisation where everyone from the founders downwards is actively involved in software development).
As if this wasn't enough, they value worker representation and truly rewarding their developers for the great successes the company are experiencing. In practice, this means enrolmentto their employee ownership scheme which gives you a voice on the board, and the promise of future dividends.
A great companypension scheme, excellent holidays, pretty much full remote, and flexible options around hours and part-time/full-time mean everything is geared to take the stress away from work and to enable you to enjoy your job whilst being successful.
