Degree (2:1 or above) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.

Strong programming expertise in C++ (in-depth knowledge required), plus Python and/or C#.

Experience in cluster computing and/or web application development.

Solid understanding of object-oriented design and software engineering principles.

Experience with agile methodologies and test-driven development.

Ability to deliver complex technical solutions independently in a multidisciplinary environment.

 Desirable

Full-stack development experience ( Core, Blazor, React, TypeScript, WPF).

Knowledge of 3D geometry, CAD integration, or simulation tools (FEA, CFD).

Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform).

Experience or interest in machine learning applications within engineering contexts.

 Ideal Profile

An early to mid-career software engineer (2–5 years’ experience) with strong technical foundations and demonstrable depth in C++, ideally with exposure to distributed or web-based systems, and an interest in applying software expertise within advanced manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defence, or energy

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
