Senior Software Engineer (C/C++) - UK Defence Programmes (SC / DV Required) This is a senior, delivery-focused engineering role in a cleared UK defence environment-built for engineers who want to ship high-assurance software, not just talk about it. We are hiring experienced software engineers to deliver mission-critical systems into UK defence programmes where engineering evidence matters. You will work on long-running, complex products under security, safety, and operational constraints-with the autonomy to make sound technical calls and the responsibility to stand behind them. If you are looking for a role to "grow into seniority", this position will feel too demanding and too exposed. We need people who can take ownership from day one in a cleared environment. Security Clearance (Non-negotiable) To join this programme, you'll need to already hold active UK Security Clearance at SC or DV level. Because of the nature of the work, we're unfortunately not able to sponsor, initiate, or wait for new clearances, so you'll need to be able to start working in a cleared environment straight away. Seniority expectations This role is intended for engineers who have already operated at senior level in high-assurance environments and can lead technical delivery end-to-end. Senior engineers (typically 10+ years) who have owned delivery of complex software through design, implementation, verification, and integration Exceptional engineers (typically 7+ years) already performing at senior / technical lead level in defence, aerospace, or other safety-critical domains, with a track record of making pragmatic trade-offs under constraint Contribute directly to architecture, design decisions, and trade-offs. Operate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams alongside systems, safety, and assurance engineers What you will be expected to do Take technical ownership of software delivered into regulated, high assurance environments Deliver robust C / C++ software that meets demanding requirements for reliability, safety, and maintainability Work across the full software lifecycle, including: requirements analysis system and software design implementation and verification integration and support Communicate clearly and precisely with technical peers and programme stakeholders What we expect from you Proven experience delivering software into defence, aerospace, or safety-critical systems, ideally with exposure to assurance, certification, or safety cases Strong, hands on expertise in C and/or C++ (modern practices, memory/ownership discipline, performance aware design, and debugging on real targets) Experience with embedded and/or Linux based systems (e.g., RTOS, bare metal, Embedded Linux), including integration constraints and hardware interfaces Confidence with toolchains, build systems, and release workflows (e.g., cross compiling, CMake and equivalents, linkers, packaging, and reproducible builds) Evidence driven engineering: familiarity with coding standards, static analysis, and code review discipline (e.g., MISRA/CERT style rulesets, treating warnings as actionable) Strong testing mindset: unit/integration testing and automation, working effectively within CI pipelines (e.g., Jenkins/GitLab CI or similar) Comfortable working with requirements, traceability, and verification evidence (e.g., DOORS or similar tools/processes) Security aware mindset: understanding of secure coding and threat driven thinking appropriate to defence environments Able to make and stand behind engineering decisions and trade offs, and communicate them clearly to technical peers and programme stakeholders Professional maturity to operate effectively in regulated, high assurance environments where process exists for a reason and delivery still matters What this role offers Work on real UK defence programmes-software that is deployed, used, and relied upon Long term, technically demanding work where engineering quality and evidence genuinely matter-not just speed of delivery An environment that trusts senior engineers with autonomy, responsibility, and influence over design decisions, ways of working, and technical standards Flexible working where possible, balanced with the realities of on site work in cleared environments Competitive compensation and benefits aligned to the market for senior, cleared engineers (details discussed transparently during the process) Important notes No visa sponsorship is available for this role Adjustments can be made to the recruitment process where required Critical Software is proud to be a Benefit Corporation. A Benefit Corporation differs from a standard corporation (C Corporation): it is a for profit business entity, legally defined in the US and other jurisdictions, whose goals include positive impact on society, workers, the community, and the environment, alongside profit. We are an equal opportunity workplace and committed to ensuring candidates with disabilities or neurodevelopmental conditions can demonstrate their skills fully. Where needed, we can make adjustments to the recruitment process-please let us know what support you require.

We take pride in our people, culture and work life balance as we do in creating services that impact millions of lives. Collaborative, entrepreneurial and dedicated to problem solving, we bring the step change our customers need to sustain innovation. About the role You will work as a forward deployed engineer embedded within a security focused capability unit, designing, building, and deploying AI powered tools that drive measurable improvements in cyber security and fraud prevention. Working closely with technical teams and operational stakeholders, you will turn requirements into governed, production ready solutions delivered on approved cloud platforms. This is a hands on engineering contract - you will own work from prototyping through to deployment, contributing to a mission critical security programme at scale. Core technical skills Deploying and managing solutions in AWS using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), maintaining compliance with governance and security standards. Configuring and managing GitLab CI pipelines to automate testing, infrastructure provisioning, and deployment across environments. Implementing unit, integration, and performance tests to ensure reliability, correctness, and reproducibility across all release cycles. Working with monitoring tooling and incident workflows to track system health, detect anomalies, and respond to failures in real time. Experience with large scale data storage and querying - relational and non relational - within secure, governed cloud environments. Building and deploying AI powered capabilities, ideally in a security, fraud, or operational context within a regulated environment. What we're looking for Demonstrable experience in AWS cloud engineering with Terraform for infrastructure as code. Hands on delivery of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI across multiple environments. Strong understanding of software testing at all levels: unit, integration, and performance. Practical experience with observability platforms and on call/incident management.
