Principal Engineer - Core Integration, Defence
1 year ago
In defence, we’re transforming how those who keep us safe prepare for the threats of the future. Join us and you’ll help build the most innovative virtual worlds available, so our defenders can plan, train and make life-saving decisions in the real one.
The Core Integration team works to reduce friction between SKYRAL’s components. It does first pass integration to provide a framework for future projects, as well as extending the functionality that can be provided. The immediate work is in the Unreal Engine and VBS (Virtual Battlefield Solutions) space, but future work will see an ever-widening range of components that can be utilised.
We do this with a range of solutions - modifying existing code, building plug-ins, or standalone tools. We pay attention to how our customers are utilising these components to learn from this and evolve our capabilities. We very much value the success of our customers, and your mission is dedicated towards making them thrive!

- You will help us build, mentor and support our engineers in this brand new team (as well as adjacent teams)
- You will collaborate with internal and partner teams to develop integration and tooling for Skyral components.

Why You're Made for This
- You’ll have a strong hands on understanding of C++
- You have a track record of mentoring and supporting more junior engineers
- Previous experience integrated complex platforms is definite advantage
- You keep up to date with the latest standards in your languages of choice.
- Technical Guidance: we expect you to work with teams and individuals during the full development lifecycle to make sure they deliver valuable software for the business. This can be achieved in multiple ways: mentoring, code review, pair-programming, design sessions etc.
- Experience with one of VBS, Unreal, or Unity is highly desirable
Everyone brings different experiences, perspective, knowledge and skills that makes each one of us brilliant. You don't have to meet all the requirements and experiences on this job advert to apply for and be successful in this role.
