Software Engineer - Graduate Considered

An exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer to join an innovative stealth start-up based near Saffron Walden, working on a wide range of projects focused on developing new technologies and products to solve complex real-world problems. Projects vary in maturity, offering the chance to work across early-stage prototyping through to full product development. As part of a small, highly collaborative team, you will have a high degree of autonomy, take ownership of your work, and contribute across multiple projects simultaneously.

Our client values those with absolute top academics; therefore, they require a 2.1 or 1st from an internationally renowned university and all A's at A-Level (or international equivalent).

This generally requires a long-term UK residency history (typically 10+ years) and the ability to pass government security vetting. You can join the team and work on other commercial projects while your clearance application is progressing.
