Job description

Overview

I’ve partnered with an iconic brand with an unmistakably rich heritage. ?

Join a small engineering team modernising the software behind a range of high-performance luxury British sports cars. You’ll rebuild legacy internal tools into modern Java-based systems, reverse-engineer existing code, and test your work directly on brand new sports cars!

What You’ll Do

  • Rebuild and modernise internal systems using Java, Java-based scripting, Spring Boot, Maven, and some React.
  • Reverse engineer existing tools to understand current behaviour and re-implement them more cleanly.
  • Develop software that interacts with real vehicle systems across current models.
  • Take part in hands-on vehicle testing to validate functionality.

Who You Are, Senior role

  • Comfortable with some hands-on testing; automotive experience or mechanical understanding is a bonus but not needed.
  • Full-stack capability (Java, scripting, some React).
  • Experience with Spring Boot / Maven.
  • Quick learner who can take ownership early.
  • Interest in how cars work (mechanically or digitally).
  • Some exposure to testing (unit, integration, hardware-adjacent).

Why This Team?

You’ll ship software that directly affects how real sports cars behave. It’s technical, hands-on, fast-moving, and ideal for engineers who want to see their work come to life on the road.

We need people immediately so unfortunately cannot accept people with longer than a months notice. Salary can range between £40k - £70k, flexible work hours, healthcare, sports and fitness programmes, bike schemes, pension, health insurance and quick two-stage process! Please note, this is 3/4 days onsite.
