Help us make a difference

In 2005, MARSS began life as a simple concept for an autonomous vessel docking system. Since then the company has expanded rapidly, evolving into a highly successful and diverse global tech solution provider protecting millions of lives, critical infrastructure, military and civil assets throughout the world.

At the heart of all MARSS systems is NiDAR Core - our IoT platform fusing hybrid intelligence and best of breed sensors to provide 360° situational awareness and surveillance, strengthening defense, security and safety.

MARSSians take pride in developing innovative solutions to protect against emerging threats, and working closely with our customers to solve their specific problems without compromising on quality.

MARSS is committed to making a difference - creating efficient and intuitive solutions which make the world a safer, more intelligent place to live.

Headquartered in Monaco and with offices in London, Bristol and Riyadh, MARSS is rapidly expanding worldwide. In order to sustain this continuous growth, we are looking to attract key contributors who can make an impact on the success of the company.

We strive to create an environment and culture that encourages creativity, continuous learning, and individual responsibility to solve problems, add value and achieve professional growth.

With years of successful operations and a solid order book to secure the future, MARSSians benefit from a unique working environment which combines the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit found in smaller start-ups with the support, security and professional growth opportunities of an expanding global organisation.

Position

We are hiring a Graduate Software Engineer to integrate our Software Department,  with genuine interest in contributing to high quality and performant software solutions; building efficient customisation, automation and delivery tools; and contributing to the solution quality.

You will be working with an experienced engineering team with a varied set of skills  on our core solution, Nidar, and our family of software and hardware products, learning and progressing in the highly exciting domain of physical security.

We value intelligence and attitude over knowledge of specific technologies. Although, as we are looking for a skilled Graduate Software Engineer, we would expect your background to be aligned with the main qualifications below.

Main Responsibilities

Your first responsibility will be to support the software quality and product customisation for our customers, working closely with three teams: quality / release, devops and delivery, to ensure NiDAR solutions are correctly configured and packaged for deployment.

You will learn not only how our software is designed and performs, but also about the sensors we use - cutting edge thermal cameras, 3D radars, signal processing units… - and the challenges of distinguishing real threats from environmental noise.

That will give you also the right perspective to identify pain-points and propose solutions to improve the customisation and deployment process, and you will help build infrastructure tools that facilitate related software development processes.

In order to guarantee the highest quality while learning the inner details of our features and codebase, you will collaborate on manual and automated testing, analyse results, document and track software bugs raised by customers or yourself, and work autonomously or with the  developers to resolve issues. 

In doing so, we expect you will contribute on small to medium-sized tasks related to our core products, while growing in experience and knowledge until you decide what your next focus should be in our SW department!

Requirements

Passion for software development and/or software quality.

Have some demonstrable working or personal/university/internship projects experience with elements of our technical stack (mainly Python or/and Golang on the backend, Javascript/Typescript on the Frontend, linux).

Understanding of networking at both practical and development level.

Good understanding of system design and architecture.

Experience with typical software engineering environment tools: version control and CICD systems.

Our complete technical stack

We don’t expect the candidate to know all of the below! But this is our technical ecosystem.

• Golang
• Python (with asyncio)
• Javascript and Typescript
• Lot of networking - UDP, TCP and more
• GIT 
• Linux environments
• Microservice architecture, Event Streaming
• Docker, Kubernetes and its ecosystem
• Video Processing (GStreamer / Janus / WebRTC)
• System Security, Cryptography
• Electronics and embedded systems, serial interfaces
• Machine Learning
• monitoring stack
• CI/CD

But also:

• 3D engines
• Robotic
• Modeling and Simulation
• Hardware
• Embedded systems

Education

We prefer at least bachelors degree level in a science or engineering discipline. Masters advantageous.

The Work Environment

Development on Macs and Ubuntu: We're pragmatic so realise we also have to work with Windows occasionally.

Small team: Embracing modern development practices. New ideas are always encouraged and we'll try most things, but we always settle on what works for us.

Diverse team: Our team is very multicultural including a mix of experienced engineers, successful sales and project managers balanced with the brightest young graduates.

Passionate: We are passionate and enjoy what we do!

Integration and interfacing

Our core activity is safety and security applications. We're bringing the latest web technologies to real-world hardware i.e. we don't work in the cloud. We interface with very diverse equipment: radar, sonar, thermal imaging, software-defined radios and more. Our UI runs on touchscreen displays, tablets, phones, smart-glasses...

Challenges

If you are looking for an easy job, this isn't it. We operate in mission critical environments. Our systems can operate at sea and high security areas with limited connectivity to the data center. So, all your assumptions about cloud development techniques and operating environments will be constantly challenged. Timelines are strict, and creativity is often required to solve unexpected technical issues. It can be extremely diverse, interesting, and rewarding if you are up to the challenge!
