The Role
I’m partnered with a national security-focused organisation on a DV / eDV-cleared Software Engineer position working on mission-critical systems that support UK defence and intelligence operations. You’ll join a high-trust engineering team building and maintaining secure, modern software platforms rather than legacy, end-of-life systems.
This is a permanent role with long-term programme funding, offering a genuine blend of impact, stability, and flexibility rarely seen in the DV / eDV space.

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.

- Building high-quality, well-tested code using modern engineering practices and tooling (CI/CD) automation, code review).
- Working within strict security, compliance and assurance frameworks required for DV / eDV-cleared projects.
