Rowden Technologies

Software Engineer (contract) Engineering

UK Remote Hybrid
API Git
Description
We’re building the next UK-headquartered engineering powerhouse.

There is a gulf between the needs of mission-focused organisations and the development and delivery of the critical technology they rely on. The consequences of this are felt acutely by underserved frontline operators, demanding a new breed of engineering enterprise to bridge this divide.

Rowden exists to meet this need. We design and build systems, infrastructure, and applications to deliver mission advantage to those working to protect the security of the UK and its allies. Rowden is setting a new standard in government technology provision: hyper-efficient engineering, better customer relationships, and rapid assimilation of commercial technology.

We’re looking for talented Software Engineers to work for 6 months on exciting projects aiming to deliver real value to our key customers. 

You’ll join a diverse team of engineers at Rowden. You’ll contribute to a hands-on engineering culture, sharing knowledge and lessons with the wider engineering team, and learn new things yourself along the way. 

Key areas of responsibility

As a Software Engineer at Rowden, you'll be responsible for:
  • Design and implement core components of an Android-based operating system, such as kernel modules, device drivers, memory management, and process scheduling. 
  • Develop system libraries and APIs that facilitate communication between components and applications 
  • Debug complex issues including handling concurrency problems, memory leaks, and system crashes, ensuring stability and reliability. 
  • Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including unit tests, integration tests, and performance tests, to validate the operating system’s robustness and stability. 
  • Version Control: Utilise version control systems, particularly Git, to manage and track changes to our codebase. 
  • Work within Agile frameworks, participating in sprints, stand-ups, and other Agile practices. 

Working at Rowden

We are committed to building a flexible, inclusive, and enabling company. Our aim is to create a diverse team of talented people with unique skills, experience, and backgrounds, so please apply and come as you are! 

 We also recognise the importance of flexible working and support this wherever we can. We typically operate a flexible, hybrid-working model, with an average 3 days in the office each week (dependent on the role).  We welcome the opportunity to discuss flexibility, part-time working requirements and/or workplace adjustments with all our applicants. 

 Rowden is a Disability Confident Committed company, and we actively encourage people with disabilities and health conditions to apply for our roles. Please let us know your requirements early on so that we can make sure you have everything you need up front to help make the recruitment process and experience as easy as possible. 

Finally, if you feel that you don’t meet all the criteria included above but have transferable skills and relevant experience, we’d still love to hear from you!
