About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a curious mindset, a strong analytical approach, and a talent for creative, out-of-the-box thinking. Whether you’re early in your career or already bring deep testing experience, what matters most is your enthusiasm for solving problems, improving quality, and making a real impact on how we evolve our condition monitoring products.
You’ll play a key role in designing, developing, and delivering agile software solutions that ensure our products are robust, reliable, and ready for our customers. This is a place where new ideas are encouraged, and where you’ll have every opportunity to grow, innovate, and shape our testing approach.
Your key responsibilities will include:
Design, Architecture & Technical Leadership
- Design, develop, and maintain complex software systems using established and emerging technologies within an Agile delivery environment.
- Review and refine user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical designs to ensure feasibility, clarity, and alignment with architectural direction.
- Lead system and feature design discussions, contributing to architectural decisions and guiding technical approaches within the Agile team.
- Implement high‑quality technical solutions and contribute to their evaluation, optimisation, and continuous improvement.
- Set up, configure, and maintain development tools, and cloud or on‑premises environments supporting Agile delivery.
Engineering Strategy & Continuous Improvement
- Apply advanced engineering principles and specialist knowledge to enable effective iterative software delivery.
- Evaluate, select, and champion appropriate technologies, frameworks, and design patterns to meet product and organisational needs.
- Use evidence‑based decision-making to solve complex technical challenges and drive continuous improvement.
- Design, develop, and maintain systems, tools, and processes that improve the software development lifecycle, code quality, and observability
- Actively champion improvements in engineering quality, automation, performance, reliability, and sustainability.
- Identify complex technical issues, analyse root causes, and implement robust, timely solutions that support sprint and release commitments.
- Assess technical risks associated with design and implementation decisions, recommending appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Ensure software meets security, performance, safety, and quality standards expected in industrial and safety-critical environments.
- Produce clear technical documentation, design justifications, and communicate risks, trade-offs, and recommendations to stakeholders.
- Provide technical leadership within Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives, and daily stand‑ups.
- Mentor and guide other engineers through pair programming, code reviews, technical coaching, and knowledge‑sharing.
- Plan work activities, resources, and priorities to support effective sprint delivery and wider programme goals.
- Organise, direct, and coordinate work across multiple contributors or teams, supporting changing technical and project needs.
- Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Testers, System Engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure aligned and predictable delivery.
- Maintain strong customer focus, ensuring solutions meet user needs, business objectives, and quality expectations.
Communication & Professional Influence
- Communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders at all levels, presenting technical proposals, architectural options, and design conclusions.
- Facilitate team discussions, technical workshops, and cross‑functional collaboration.
- Demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, promoting respectful, inclusive, and effective team interactions.
- Influence technical direction across the engineering organisation and promote alignment with best practice and strategic goals.
Professional Development & Ethical Practice
- Maintain and record Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to enhance specialist expertise and leadership capability.
- Stay current with emerging technologies, tooling, and Agile engineering practices.
- Understand and improve safe systems of work, ensuring that design and implementation decisions consider safety implications.
- Apply principles of sustainable development in engineering activities.
- Recognise and act on ethical considerations in software engineering, ensuring responsible and transparent decision-making.
About you
You’re an experienced software engineer who takes pride in building high-quality, well-designed systems and understands the responsibility that comes with delivering software used in safety critical environments. You approach complex challenges with a structured, analytical mindset and make considered technical decisions that balance risk, quality, and delivery.
You’re comfortable taking ownership of technical direction, influencing others, and supporting the development of less experienced engineers. You communicate clearly, collaborate effectively across disciplines, and are confident engaging with stakeholders to explain technical concepts and trade-offs.
You value good engineering practice, care about long-term maintainability, and are motivated by continuous improvement. Experience with industrial systems, embedded environments, condition monitoring, Agile delivery, or tools such as Atlassian Cloud would be beneficial, but not essential. What matters most is your technical leadership, judgement, and commitment to delivering robust, high-quality solutions.
We believe in equal opportunities
We believe teamwork, no matter where you’re from or how you identify, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
We’re looking for hardworking, passionate individuals to join our team. When you come on board, we’ll provide the support and opportunities you need to unlock your potential and do your best work.
We’re committed to ensuring an accessible and comfortable experience for everyone. If there’s anything we can do to make your application process or working environment more accommodating, please let us know—either in your application or by reaching out directly. We’ll be more than happy to help.
If you don’t meet all the requirements but think you might still be right for the role, please apply anyway. We’re always keen to speak to people who connect with our mission and values.
