Job Details

The Defence and Space Business Unit in BAE Systems Applied Intelligence delivers mission focused solutions in cyber & electronic warfare, digital transformation and special communications to clients across Land, Sea, Air, Space and Cyber.

We are looking for experienced Software Engineers to join our team following continuous growth and success in our Defence and Space business.

Behind great solutions there are great people: our employees. We pride ourselves on being able to solve some of our customers’ most complex problems.

Our people are what differentiate us, they are ingenious, innovative and dedicated. We have a mix of generalists and specialists and recognise that this diversity contributes to our success. In general, we work in teams. We recognise the benefits of forming teams from a mix of disciplines, which allows us to come up with balanced, high quality solutions.

We work hard and often go the extra mile, but we recognise people’s efforts and that everyone has a life outside of work. We encourage people to speak up if they want to rotate to a new project in support of career development, or even just to face a new challenge.

Our breadth across the UK Government and Defence sectors provides diverse opportunities for our people to develop their careers in new areas of expertise or with new clients.

This role will require you to have or be willing to go through Security Clearance at DV level.

If you already know Java and want to broaden your programming experience then we are happy to help you learn how to get the best out of C#.
