Job Description

Software Developer (Service Data Centre) - Submarines

Derby

Full time (Nominally on-site 5 days)

We are seeking a Software Developer to join our Service Data Analytics Software team, supporting the submarines enterprise by leveraging in-service data to derive insights through data analytics and software implementation.

You will have the opportunity to learn how Rolls-Royce Submarines supports the Royal Navy submarine fleet, collaborate with diverse stakeholders, understand their challenges, and assist the development team in delivering valuable solutions.

Our team follows the Agile Scrum framework, providing opportunities to work on a wide range of products with varying applications, offering exposure to many areas of the business.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

This role is situated within our Service Data Centre department that focusses on leveraging in-service data to enhance operational efficiency and support the development of innovative solutions.

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

We are in the office most days and so you will be working side by side with your colleagues to create an atmosphere of collaboration and engagement. You will be supported by members of the team and opportunities will be provided to develop your skills further, both within the team and in the wider business.

What we offer:

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week. The nature of this role currently necessitates office working 5-days a week; opportunities for home working are infrequent.

What you will be doing:

With this exciting opportunity, you will:

Collaborate in an Agile Environment: Work as part of a Scrum team to develop ideas and concepts into practical solutions for our customers. You will contribute to value-driven iterative development and maintenance of applications.
Apply Your Expertise: Utilise your software development knowledge to create new, engaging, and user-friendly applications. Depending on the project, you may collaborate with data specialists and software experts to ensure high usability and desirability standards.
Develop Data-Driven Solutions: Create software solutions that enable engineers, technical experts, and Rolls-Royce’s customers to derive data-driven insights, enhancing decision-making processes.
Ensure Software Quality: Maintain software quality and integrity by rigorously testing and fixing bugs throughout the development and upkeep process.
Showcase Your Creativity: Demonstrate a strong creative drive and understanding of user requirements to develop applications that engage and excite the user community.

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

Degree-Level Education: A degree in Computing, Mathematics, Scientific, or Engineering disciplines, or equivalent experience. Alternatively, demonstrable expertise via a GitHub profile (or similar).
Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with contemporary software development tools, processes, and systems. A solid understanding of version control and testing is essential. Experience with Python, SQL, and either Vue or React is highly desirable.
CI/CD Experience: Preferably, experience with Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) in Azure DevOps (or similar).
Communication Skills: Strong communication abilities to effectively engage with your scrum team, colleagues, customers, and stakeholders.
Proactive and Persistent Mindset: Strong teamwork skills, coupled with a high level of self-motivation, initiative, and the ability to work independently.
Analytical Thinking: The ability to apply logical, analytical, and innovative thinking to a range of technical problems.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.

We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
