Security Clearance

You must be eligible for full security clearance. For more information and guidance please visit : https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels

What you’ll be doing:

Just to be upfront, this is not a pure front-end developer role. While we are looking for someone who’s “happy place” is building beautiful front ends, this person would need to be open to working on other parts of the stack. We’re a team of T-shaped people with broad competencies, so versatility is part of our culture. You don’t need to be an expert on everything. Just be comfortable with new challenges.

With that in mind, as a Senior Full Stack Developer (with front-end focus), you will:

Build solutions to problems (especially with a heavy front-end focus)

Design solutions (in conjunction with Product Managers and/or other colleagues)

Help colleagues facing issues with front-end development

More specifically, you will be heavily involved in app development using Flutter, in addition to web portal development.

Day-to-day life on the Product Development team looks like the following:

Most of your time will be spent designing and building solutions

For our tech stack, we use:

Django/Django REST Framework/Postgres for backend,

Angular for our web application,

Ionic/Angular for our apps (and we’re now moving to Flutter)

AWS ECS/ECR, Aurora and Lambda

For design, it’s quick brainstorming, a bit of analysis, sketching on paper or Figma, and/or jotting down a short design doc in Google Docs

A chunk of time is spent on understanding issues, users and our platform. This includes talking to ops colleagues. We take turns answering ops support requests

It’s fast paced. We’re light on overhead and don’t outsource quality to a QA team. Quality, maintainability and security start at the design stage and are everyone’s responsibility.

We run 2-week sprints. Each day starts with a daily 10-minute standup and then it varies a lot from there. The issues vary from sprint-to-sprint. It’s typically very user focused, but we do make time each quarter to do unsexy important stuff (refactor, pay down technical debt, database upgrades, etc).

It’s not a solo effort. While we maximise the time you must put your head down and get on with cracking a problem, we grab each other for help every day. And we do peer review of design and code, while building and deploying to production regularly

If you like having a holistic view of the product (from idea to release to growth), rather than being highly specialised in one niche, you’ll probably enjoy this role.

What we’re looking for:

General characteristics

You like solving real problems. When you make something, you make it to solve someone’s issue. You understand the issue and the person facing it. You put in a bit of extra effort to make it a good experience for the user

Uncertainty is a fun problem to figure out, rather than an annoying headache. When you don’t know the answer, you try something. You experiment. You dig.

You’re a clear concise communicator. When writing or speaking, you know which details to prioritise

KISS is important to you. You have an instinct for when a solution is too complicated for the problem

You know how to learn and skill up. When faced with a novel skill area, you can self- critique your level and push yourself to improve

You reside in the UK or the EU

If you don’t live near Oxford, you are able to travel and work in our office in Oxford for a few days each quarter

Specific characteristics for this role

Taken multiple features from idea to release to growth

Having spent meaningful time as part of different teams (we’d prefer at least 6 years as a developer)

Deep front-end experience, including responsive design

Built front ends or apps for consumer facing businesses

Design sense for UX/UI. Not just writing code. May have done wireframes before. Can look at an interface and tell if it is terrible or not

Ideally some experience working on backend (e.g. building APIs, database design, etc)

Some experience with CI/CD or deployments in general

Ideally, some experience in an agency (for consumer facing apps) and/or early-stage consumer facing startup

Ideally experience with mobile app development

Firmware Engineer (Product Security)

Technology in Defence is rapidly evolving, and so are the risks to capabilities and success through an ever-changing security landscape. As customers demand higher levels of resilience in the products we create, our approach to securing systems and products needs to change with it.

We are recruiting for a Firmware Engineer to support development of security functions. You will work on some of the most challenging and rewarding security problems in the UK on some of the most exciting Defence projects, helping design and develop security solutions that sit at the heart of our products.

What you will do as a Firmware Engineer within Product Security:

Your work at Leonardo will see you addressing security risks in an agile, innovative and team-centric manner. You will work alongside a team of security engineers and consultants to support engineering delivery teams, aiding the design and development of new products and systems by providing guidance to ensure the customer’s capabilities remain secure.

Through engagement with engineering teams and customers, you will advise on solutions that address security concerns while providing value to the customer based on risk balance. Utilising a focus of supporting the customer to achieve their goals, you will endeavour to provide the best possible solutions balanced against the programme constraints.

Key responsibility areas involve:

Designing secure firmware cores to flow down to engineering teams, and supporting integration

Reviewing documentation such as design documents, system specifications, and risk profiles to identify potential vulnerabilities and propose appropriately secure solutions

Working with solution architects and engineers to ensure that systems meet stringent Design Integrity and security standards and satisfy relevant accreditation requirements

Participating in wider customer forums, to review security topics

What we need from you:

Ideally, we would like you to have the following skills; if you don’t have them but feel you could gain them whilst adding value to the team from alternative experience, we’d still like you to apply:

A degree or equivalent experience in science, technology, engineering or maths subjects

A passion for security and problem solving

Technical knowledge of secure firmware/embedded software and integration with electronics

Knowledge of high-speed digital electronics

Knowledge of developing designs for AMD, Microsemi and/or Intel FPGAs

Knowledge of firmware simulation and verification tools

Knowledge of scripting, using TCL and/or Python

Knowledge of concepts such as Isolated Design Flow, encryption, and secure boot

Understanding of the engineering product development lifecycle

Ability to listen, understand and communicate effectively (both written and verbal) with internal and external customers

Ability to be self-directed, conducting both independent learning and collaborating with other engineers to develop solutions that will increase the security posture of Leonardo products

Eagerness to learn and adapt to changing technologies

It would also be helpful if you had:

A working practical knowledge of NCSC CAPS Evaluation processes and practices with awareness of generic Secure by Design Principles as presented by NCSC, UK MOD and NIST

Practical experience of following DevSecOps lifecycles for embedded software/firmware

Experience in safety-critical engineering and/or developing embedded software/firmware to High Assurance requirements such as DO-178C/DO-254 standards or equivalent

Knowledge and experience of complex cryptography, especially implementing algorithms or utilising the approved cryptographic functions within FPGAs to create higher level security controls.

An understanding of developing cyber resilient products by addressing the 4 phases of resilience: Prepare, Absorb, Recover and Adapt
