Job description

Do you ever get the feeling you are being treated like just another number, a cog in the machine?

Business politics and lack of defined progression pathways leaving your career progression hamstrung?

If you want the respect, autonomy and recognition you deserve, now is the time to consider your options for Q2 2026.

Join a scale-up aligned to the National Security domain.

You will still shift the dial; but importantly will develop cutting-edge, mission-critical applications quicker, better and different to slower-moving bureaucratic competitors.

The technology experience you bring might include some of the following:

• Java Microservices - Spring boot
• Javascript / React / Node / Typescript
• Python

• AWS
• Agile

What's in it for you?:

• Learning & Development - formal training, mentoring and certifications
• Healthcare, Life Insurance
• Clearance bonus (10%, £5k, 15% uncapped... All depends on the business you join)
• A role brimming with purpose!

Due to the nature of the positions, you must hold a current enhanced DV Clearance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels/national-security-vetting-clearance-levels)
