Software Engineer
Up to £60K
Location: Oxford

A pioneering leader in advanced laser technology is seeking a Software Engineer with a passion for innovation and a knack for problem-solving to join their talented team.

In this role, the engineer will dive into creating new cutting-edge features interacting directly with hardware. The work will go beyond solely the development of desktop applications, as projects could overlap with machine learning and computer vision techniques as well as frontend UI work.

This role is ideal for someone with at least a year or two of experience, preferably with a background in developing applications that interact with hardware. While web development experience is less relevant, proficiency for broader desktop applications is welcome. A top graduate with some internship experience would also be considered.

The company operates a hybrid working policy but you will need to attend the office to work with large hardware systems
