• Security Vetting: Must be eligible for Non-Police-Personnel-Vetting Level 3 (NPPV3) clearance (requires a minimum of 3 years continuous UK residency).

Desirable & Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience developing scalable server/gateway applications and client-server communication models.

• Experience with modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, React).

• Exposure to mobile (Android/iOS using Kotlin, Swift, or React Native) or Windows UI frameworks (WPF, WinUI).

• Proven experience working in remote Agile (Scrum) engineering teams.

What We Offer

• Unique UK Benefit: Two weeks additional pay per year (Holiday Bonus scheme).

• Work-Life Flexibility: 100% remote working option with dedicated home-office support.
