How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Principal Software Engineer

    Based in Bristol

    Salary up to £70,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

    Want to work on complex software that sits at the heart of advanced defence systems?

    We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer with strong RTI DDS and distributed systems experience to help shape the architecture, design and evolution of mission-critical software used within complex command and control environments.

    This is not a coding factory role.

    You'll influence software architecture, drive the development of core communications and data models, support system-level design decisions, and provide technical leadership across multiple software teams.

    You'll work closely with architects, technical leads and systems engineers to ensure software, middleware and communications frameworks continue to support highly capable, real-world defence systems.

    What you'll be doing

    *

    Developing and evolving RTI DDS based communications frameworks

    *

    Designing and maintaining system-wide data models and IDL definitions

    *

    Supporting software architecture decisions at system and subsystem level

    *

    Defining command and control interfaces across complex distributed systems

    *

    Creating reusable software component templates and design patterns

    *

    Providing technical guidance to software engineering teams

    *

    Driving best practice across software design, integration and implementation

    *

    Supporting the development of high-integrity, mission-critical software

    You'll need experience in most of the following

    *

    RTI DDS or Data Distribution Service middleware

    *

    Distributed systems design and development

    *

    Software architecture within complex engineering environments

    *

    IDL design and data modelling

    *

    System and subsystem integration

    *

    Command and control systems

    *

    Technical leadership or senior software engineering responsibilities

    *

    Working across the full software development lifecycle

    *

    Communicating effectively with software engineers, architects and systems engineers

    You'll stand out if you have experience in

    *

    Defence, aerospace or other highly regulated industries

    *

    Real-time systems

    *

    Mission systems

    *

    Complex systems integration

    *

    Safety-critical or high-integrity software environments
