Job Title: Software Engineer
Location: Cambridge, United Kingdom (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-time
The job
As a Software Engineer in the Cloud UE (Unified Engineering) team, you will help design, build, and operate the services and streaming environments that deliver AVEVA's Unified Engineering products to customers as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
You will work across serverless APIs, identity and access flows, Windows-centric infrastructure, and desktop streaming technologies. You will contribute to CI/CD and infrastructure automation, champion security and compliance, and support service reliability and performance. As you gain experience, there may be an opportunity to join the team’s on-call rotation in the future, with full mentoring and support.
This is a role for someone early in their career who is eager to learn, proactive by nature, and excited by the opportunity to work across a broad and modern technology stack in a team that truly owns what it builds. You won't be expected to know everything from day one, but you will be expected to have the curiosity, drive, and resilience to grow quickly.
Key responsibilities
Build scalable AWS SaaS services: contribute to the design, development, and support of highly available platform components.
Develop integrations and serverless capabilities: deliver and maintain APIs (API Gateway/Lambda), event-driven workflows, and identity/SCIM integrations with AVEVA CONNECT.
Operate and improve cloud environments: support desktop streaming (Amazon WorkSpaces Applications) and Windows-centric infrastructure (EC2, FSx, Active Directory, DynamoDB) with strong observability and cost/performance focus.
Deliver securely with automation and teamwork: write clean, tested, documented, deployable code; contribute to CI/CD and infrastructure automation (Azure Pipelines, CloudFormation, Step Functions); collaborate in agile planning, troubleshoot issues, communicate risks, and continuously learn.
Essential requirements
Proactive, self-starting, and ownership-driven — takes initiative and cares about quality and production behaviour.
Curious and growth-minded — eager to learn new technologies, approaches, and continuously improve.
Able to work independently in a distributed team — manages time well, operates autonomously, stays accountable.
Resilient, collaborative communicator — positive with challenges, asks questions, shares knowledge, and communicates clearly in writing and verbally.
Desired skills and competencies
AWS & cloud foundations: VPC, EC2, S3, IAM/security groups; plus awareness of serverless (API Gateway/Lambda/DynamoDB), containers (Docker/ECS), and monitoring (CloudWatch/Datadog).
Software engineering & languages: practical development experience in C# and JavaScript/TypeScript (Angular/Node.js), comfortable working across multiple languages, with solid Git-based workflows.
DevOps & delivery: understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (e.g., Azure Pipelines) and infrastructure automation/IaC (CloudFormation, Terraform or similar).
Windows & security fundamentals: Windows administration (AD, Group Policy, PowerShell, enterprise deployment/packaging awareness) and security best practices (SSO/SCIM, least privilege, encryption, network segmentation).
