Job description

Opportunity:

We are looking for talented and experienced software engineers to come into our DevOps team to help support the talented engineers who are developing the next generation of Sonar Systems. We pride ourselves on world class engineering, delivering agile solutions to a wide range of customers across the world.

We're currently on a journey to improve the experience for its extremely capable development teams by adopting more Agile methods with DevOps playing an increasingly important role as we scale up the level of Continuous Integration and Automation in our delivery pipelines.

As a result, we can provide the opportunity to work with some extremely bright and talented people, embedding the skills of mathematicians and physicists into signal processing and artificial intelligence that operates at the cutting edge of the defence industry.

In this role you will be working with a team of 50+ software developers designing, implementing, and testing solutions for sonar systems that will be delivered to a wide variety of different Navy's from across the world.

We have a requirement for passionate Software Engineers with strong software development skills and equally strong DevOps skills. The ideal candidate will be a software engineer who both understands what a developer requires (and could in theory join the development team from time to time to write code). But also, one who also understands and has a passion for building, maintaining, and streamlining the continuous development and integration pipelines which support them.

You will be working with a mixture of technologies and software languages, based around a virtualised development environment and as such there is a wide range of skills that are applicable to this role. It is not expected that one person will hold all these skills, but it is expected that the DevOps team will have sufficient breadth and depth to cover all, and you will be key to achieving this.

Responsibilities:

Experience needed:

Roles are subject to security clearance without restrictions. Experience in C++ or Java Development. Knowledge of the full software development lifecycle. Experience developing build pipelines in Conan and or Gradle. Experience of VMware ESXi would be an advantage. Degree in engineering, computer science or related subject.

Desirable:

Experience in the Defence / Aerospace or safety regulated environment would be advantageous. Knowledge of Sonar would be an advantage. Experience of Linux Red Hat application development and configuration would be an advantage. Experience with a variety of Software Configuration Tools including SVN and GIT would be an advantage.

For full information, please get in touch.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
