What we need from you:

Good commercial C++11/14/17 experience on Windows / Visual Studio
A track record of writing clean code and multi-threading
The ability to work independently and take initiative
Understanding of JavaScript, TypeScript or Angular code is a nice to have (although they have a dedicated UI JavaScript team)

What's in it for you?

£40,000–£50,000 (Depending on experience)
9% employer-only pension contribution
Flexible benefits package including life assurance
Hybrid working – 3 days in Manchester office
