Lead Embedded Software Engineer, C++ Based in Bristol Salary from 62,000 to 72,500, dependent on experience If you've spent years writing embedded C and C++ for systems where the software actually has to work, not just pass a demo, this is worth five minutes of your time. You'll be developing safety-critical embedded software for aerospace and defence applications, working across GUI and embedded software packages, and you'll have genuine influence over architecture and design decisions rather than just implementing someone else's. This is a small, highly capable engineering team, so your input carries weight from day one. The role splits between hands-on delivery and technical leadership. You'll mentor less experienced engineers, lead the technical delivery of work packages, and represent the software discipline directly with customers. You'll also stay close to the code, working on embedded and GUI software in C and C++, RTOS environments, and supporting certification activity against DO-178C and similar standards. This isn't a role where you'll be stuck maintaining one system for the next five years. You'll work across customer projects and internal product development, and you'll be comfortable moving between consultancy and product environments. What you'll need: Strong experience in C and C++ for embedded software systems Proven track record developing software to interface with and control hardware Comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements through to verification and validation Experience with requirements management tools such as DOORS, Jama or Polarion Confident working across multiple projects at once, and able to pick up and improve legacy code Due to the nature of the projects involved, you'll need to be a UK national for security clearance purposes Nice to have, not essential: C# .NET and PC GUI development in Visual Studio Static code analysis (MISRA C/C++) and unit testing tools such as LDRA MATLAB/Simulink experience Familiarity with Azure DevOps, Git or Bitbucket RTOS experience with QNX Socket programming or UDP comms Previous experience leading a small software team If this sounds like the kind of work you'd rather be doing than what's currently on your desk, get in touch for a confidential conversation, no pressure, no obligation, just a chance to see whether it's worth exploring further.

hackajob is collaborating with Made Tech to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Made Tech helps UK government and public sector organisations build better digital services - and security is central to that mission. As a Lead Security Engineer in our Cyber practice, you'll be the most senior security engineering voice on client engagements, setting technical direction for how organisations design, build, and defend secure systems. You'll work across complex government programmes where the stakes are real: services that affect citizens, systems that hold sensitive data, and teams that need to move quickly without cutting corners. This isn't a role where you sit at the edge of delivery reviewing outputs. You'll be embedded in multidisciplinary teams, shaping how security is engineered into everyday work - from threat modelling and architecture at design time to hardened, monitored systems in production. You'll build trusted relationships with client engineering leads, platform teams, and senior stakeholders, translating between deep technical decisions and the trade-offs senior leaders need to understand. You'll bring the judgement to know when a heavyweight security architecture is warranted and when a lighter-weight, faster-moving approach serves the engagement better. At Lead level, your impact extends beyond the immediate team. You'll establish security engineering standards and reference architectures across engagements, grow the technical capability of the people around you - colleagues and client engineers alike - and contribute to how Made Tech's Cyber practice develops as a community. If you'd rather build the paved road than police the off-road, who treat security as an engineering discipline rather than a compliance exercise, and who cares about leaving client teams genuinely stronger than you found them, this role is for you. Key responsibilities Own end-to-end technical security architecture across engagements. Design secure-by-default reference architectures, set patterns for identity, network, and data protection, and maintain living technical standards - feeding directly into how teams build, not just how they're audited. Lead vulnerability remediation as an engineering programme. Define the prioritisation framework - drawing on EPSS, KEV, CVSS, and asset criticality - set remediation SLAs, own the risk-acceptance register, and drive fixes directly into delivery backlogs alongside product teams. Report programme KPIs (MTTR by severity, backlog age, coverage, recurrence rate) to senior stakeholders. Drive security into the team's normal engineering rhythm. Embed threat modelling, secure code review, SAST, SCA, dependency policy, and container scanning into design and delivery cycles - building the tooling and automation that make this the default, not a specialist handover at the end of a sprint. Navigate UK government security standards with confidence - as an engineer, not a paperwork exercise. Design systems and controls that satisfy the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, GovAssure, Cyber Essentials, and HMG Security Policy Framework, applying them proportionately across engagements as guardrails that enable safe delivery, not barriers to it. Engage with government security communities and coordinate with departmental technical teams. Communicate security risk in terms that drive engineering decisions. Report system posture, remediation programme performance, and architectural risk to senior client stakeholders - tailoring the frame for the audience and structuring reports around the decisions the reader needs to make, not just the findings. Set the standard for incident response and detection engineering. Build and drive adoption of detection, alerting, and IR tooling across engagements, own the IR-to-vulnerability-management feedback loop, and coordinate cross-team exercises including known-exploited-vulnerability scramble drills. Grow the people around you. Mentor colleagues across the practice and at client organisations, pair on complex or unfamiliar engineering problems, and create structured development opportunities - including for client engineers who may not yet have strong security habits. Contribute to Made Tech's Cyber practice beyond delivery. Shape practice standards, contribute to hiring and technical calibration, build and share expertise externally, and help grow a security engineering community that raises capability across the organisation. Skills, knowledge and expertise Essential Deep hands-on experience designing and building secure cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP) at scale, including IAM, network segmentation, and data protection patterns. Proven track record embedding security tooling and automation into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows across multiple teams. Strong proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language, used to build production-grade security tooling (not just scripts). Desirable The following would strengthen your application. We don't expect every candidate to bring all of these. Certifications OSCP, OSWE, or equivalent offensive security credential AWS/Azure/GCP security specialty certification CKS (Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist) Capabilities and experience Experience establishing and operating vulnerability remediation programmes at organisational scale - including risk-based prioritisation using EPSS, KEV, and asset criticality, and driving fixes across multiple delivery teams. Evidence of designing systems that satisfy UK government security frameworks - GovAssure, CAF, Cyber Essentials, HMG Security Policy Framework - in a complex multi-supplier or multi-team environment, as an architect rather than an assessor. Experience conducting or coordinating technical security reviews and penetration testing in UK public sector contexts, including remediating findings and briefing senior technical stakeholders. Working knowledge of exposure management beyond CVE-only approaches - incorporating misconfiguration, identity exposure, and attack-path analysis using cloud-native tooling (AWS Inspector, GuardDuty, Security Hub, or equivalents). Experience securing software supply chains - SBOM generation, dependency provenance, artifact signing - and integrating this into build pipelines rather than a standalone assurance process. Experience building or shaping security engineering capability within a consultancy, programme delivery, or multi-client environment - including growing technical skills in colleagues and client teams. Evidence of acting as a trusted technical adviser to senior client stakeholders - anchoring recommendations on engineering outcomes, challenging briefs constructively, and making security value visible through what gets shipped. Experience setting team ways of working in iterative delivery environments - establishing retrospective cadences, collaborative problem-solving norms, and pairing practices that spread security knowledge across the team. Tooling and practice familiarity Deep familiarity with structured threat modelling approaches - STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, attack trees - and experience embedding these into agile delivery ceremonies. Experience integrating SAST, SCA, dependency scanning, and container security tooling into CI/CD pipelines as part of a shift-left security approach, including building custom tooling where off-the-shelf doesn't fit. Made Tech sponsors attainment of recognised cyber certifications for staff in scope. If you don't yet hold the listed credentials but are actively working toward them, or can demonstrate equivalent capability through your experience, we'd still welcome your application. Job benefits We are always listening to our growing teams and evolving the benefits available to our people. As we scale, as do our benefits and we are scaling quickly. We've recently introduced a flexible benefit platform which includes a Smart Tech scheme, Cycle to work scheme, and an individual benefits allowance which you can invest in a Health care cash plan or Pension plan. We're also big on connection and have an optional social and wellbeing calendar of events for all employees to join should they choose to. Here are some of our most popular benefits listed below: 30 days Holiday - we offer 30 days of paid annual leave Flexible Working Hours - we are flexible with what hours you work Flexible Parental Leave - we offer flexible parental leave options Remote Working - we offer part time remote working for all our staff Paid counselling - we offer paid counselling as well as financial and legal advice At this point, we hope you're feeling excited about Made Tech and the job opportunity. Get in touch with our talent team if you'd like an informal chat about the role and your suitability before applying. We are hiring for this role directly, so will not respond to any CVs sent via external recruitment agencies. SC Eligibility An increasing number of our customers are specifying a minimum of SC (security check) clearance in order to work on their projects. As a result, we're looking for all successful candidates for this role to have eligibility.
