Your new company

This leading Software provider are looking to bolster their engineering team with an experienced Geological Software Engineer. You will be working full-time in their head office location in the heart of Guildford close to the University and with excellent transport to London and the surrounding areas in Surrey.

This role would essentially suit a Structural Geologist with Software Development skills in C++ / Qt framework.

Your new role

You\’ll join a well-established business with decades experience taking them a market leading position. Building on an impressive 2024 they pushed towards 100 headcount and have the investment and product positioning to double this in the coming 12 months, with a particular focus on the Engineering team.

It\’s a rapidly changing environment and they champion Agile, so it\’s important you are flexible and appreciate the nature of a business at the cutting edge of security technology.

You\’ll be working to deliver a new suite of highly scalable products and a lot of the requirements are greenfield. The company control the systems they build, meaning developers can be intrinsic with the user and understand their journey to build a better product. You will be working on real-time systems driven by large data sets, so we are looking for Engineers with a background in R&D environments with excellent academic qualifications.

You role will be diverse and I expect no two days to be the same, the product is market-leading and requires methodical thinkers that are excited by mathematical models, algorithm development, number crunching and research.

You will be expected to bring new ideas to the table in whatever guise you join, but with the imminent growth there are Senior and Leadership opportunities to aspire to. It\’s an internally creative team that champion collaboration, they want constant suggestions of how to re-engineer things, not just work from a brief.

What you\’ll need to succeed

You must have an Advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in Science, Maths, Engineering, Geology or Computing to apply.

We\’re looking for 3+ years hands-on experience using C++ and GUI Development using Qt framework and Multithreading/Parallel Programming.

You should have worked with 3D graphics and GIS development toolkits, 2D/3D Geometrical modelling experience and scripting of mathematical or geological problems.

Experience in seismic processing, fracture modelling, fault seal analysis, kinematic or geological modelling techniques will serve you well in this role, as would exposure to Machine Learning.

CI experience including JIRA, Git, Jenkins, Java, Bash, TestRail.

What you\’ll get in return

You\’ll work for a technology focused company building innovative products . There\’s an excellent rewards scheme in place including an annual bonus up to 25%, 10% pension match, private healthcare, 25 days holiday and long term sick cover.
