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.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
