The organisation operate in the space sector and their products are used for a whole host of different reasons; environmental, safety, defence etc. The project work is genuinely really interesting which has a really positive impact globally (happy to discuss some of their applications further). Their Engineering function is already pretty established , and they're looking to really grow this year. You'd be joining one of their core services which is a crucial component with their overall product.

Additionally, the organisation place a really strong importance on developing robust, well-documented and tested software - so are looking for someone that has worked in this kind of environment before.
