The Role

We are seeking two motivated Junior Software Engineers to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the Cyber Range Training Centre (CRTC) platform. The platform is in its operational phase and requires continuous improvement through a structured CI/CD process and routine system updates.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Assisting with software maintenance, bug fixes, and small feature enhancements.

The role will suit candidates with foundational programming skills, an eagerness to learn, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

By joining the team, you will build technical skills, support a mission-driven project, and grow within a supportive learning environment.
