About The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to join BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, supporting national security initiatives through the development of advanced software systems. In this role, you will be an integral part of an autonomous DevOps team, working directly with end-users and stakeholders to design, develop, deploy, and maintain mission-critical applications and services. Your work will contribute to safeguarding the UK and its interests, providing vital technological support to government agencies and security organizations. The position offers flexibility in location, with options for hybrid working in London, Manchester, or Leeds, and accommodates both full-time and part-time applicants. As a Software Engineer at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, you will have the opportunity to work on diverse projects, utilize a broad range of technologies, and grow your expertise within a collaborative and innovative environment.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in software development, with experience in one or more of the following programming languages: JavaScript, Java, .Net, or Python. A solid understanding of software design principles, version control systems such as Git, Mercurial, or Perforce, and CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Bamboo, or Bitbucket is essential. Experience with automated testing frameworks, static code analysis tools such as SonarQube, and agile methodologies including Scrum, Lean, or Kanban is highly valued. Candidates should demonstrate problem-solving skills, creativity, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team. Prior exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with databases (relational, document, or graph) are advantageous. Security clearance at the active eDV level is required for this role, given the sensitive nature of the work involved.
Responsibilities
As a Software Engineer at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, your responsibilities will include designing, developing, and maintaining software solutions that support national security missions. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, develop proof-of-concept prototypes, and deliver production-ready systems. Ensuring code quality through automated testing, static analysis, and version control practices will be a key aspect of your role. You will participate in agile ceremonies, contribute to continuous integration and deployment processes, and adapt to new technologies as needed. Additionally, you will be expected to identify innovative solutions to complex problems, support system integration efforts, and assist in deploying and managing applications in cloud environments. Your work will directly impact the security and operational effectiveness of UK national security agencies, making your contributions vital to the organization’s success.
