Job Description
Senior Software Engineer - Flight Data Analysis Software
Uxbridge, West London, 4 days onsite, 1 day from home
Every commercial flight records thousands of parameters — control inputs, engine performance, altitude, warnings. When the aircraft lands, that data has to be retrieved, decoded and turned into something an airline's safety team can act on. We build the software that does it. Over 300 airlines use our ground systems, including most of the world's major carriers, alongside military operators. When an airline spots an unstable approach trend before it becomes an incident, our software is usually how they found it.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team in Uxbridge that builds it.
What you'll actually do
You'll own features end to end — from design discussion through to release — across a stack that spans a mature.NET backend, Angular front ends, and Python tooling. Specifically:
- Design and build backend services and APIs that process large volumes of flight data, where performance and correctness genuinely matter
- Take technical ownership of a product area: make the architectural calls, and be the person the team asks about it
- Review other engineers' code and mentor two or three developers earlier in their careers
- Work with QA, product and the engineering lead across a normal Agile cycle — planning, standups, reviews, retros
- Help us modernise: we have a long-lived.NET codebase with some older Windows service components, and part of this role is bringing it forward sensibly rather than rewriting for its own sake
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we need
- Around 4+ years building production software commercially
- Strong C#/.NET and solid relational database skills (we use MySQL)
- Comfortable working across the stack — you don't have to be a front-end specialist, but you should be able to work in TypeScript/Angular when a feature needs it
- Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs
- Genuinely good at debugging: the ability to work out why a system is misbehaving from incomplete information
- Git and modern version control workflows
Useful, but we'll teach you
- Python
- AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS)
- Docker and CI/CD pipelines
- Automated testing frameworks
- Aviation or aerospace domain knowledge — almost nobody arrives with this, and we don't expect you to
You do not need to tick every box. If you're strong on the backend and curious about the rest, apply.

The commute, honestly
We're onsite four days a week with one day from home. We know that rules us out for some people. But if you live anywhere in West London, Hillingdon, Buckinghamshire or along the M4/M40, this is likely the shortest commute you'll find for a role at this level — Uxbridge is the end of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, and there's parking. Several of our team took this job specifically to stop commuting into central London.
Interview process
- A Teams call with the hiring manager and site manager — informal, both ways
- An onsite session covering technical discussion and a paired programming task, plus competency-based questions with our Head of Digital Solutions
