Java Software Engineer (Ground Team)

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Java Software Engineer to join our team. This exciting new role will contribute to our ground software product development, taking responsibility for specific areas of functionality within our product suite, and being the driver of design and development in those areas.

Our Ground team is focused on the development of new Bright Ascension ground software products, as well as supporting the maintenance of legacy products. As part of the Ground team, you will primarily be contributing to the development of new products and getting involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle as part of that work. The Ground team uses agile processes and works closely with other development teams in the company to create a cohesive suite of software products.

Ideally, we would like this role to be on a hybrid basis based in either Dundee or Edinburgh, to allow for regular interaction with the teams responsible for product management, business development, sales and marketing. However, we’re happy to discuss working arrangements with the right candidate.

As a member of the Ground team your key responsibilities would be :

• Design, development, and testing elements of our ground software
