Software Developer, Senior Software Developer

Full-time, Permanent, On Site

Are you looking to work at a company built by Developers for Developers? Are you looking to work in a genuinely Lean Agile way, where there is no enforced overtime or crunch? Do you want to work in a high-quality environment where you can choose your tools and equipment? Would you like to collaborate with a team of experienced developers and grow your skills while working on interesting projects?

At Bluefruit, that’s what we do.

Recognised worldwide for the quality of our code and our Agile practices, clients come to us for reliable, innovative solutions. And with the current explosive growth in the embedded and IoT industry, demand for our services gets bigger every day. That’s why we’re looking for outstanding software engineers to join our teams across a number of exciting new projects.

About you

We’re looking for passionate, open-minded experienced programmers — and you’re looking for technically‑challenging software projects and a workplace full of intelligent, friendly people.

You have excellent C / C++ programming skills, can debug effectively and use version control. You are familiar with Agile software development practices, such as TDD, BDD, pair programming, sprints, or user stories. You also have recent industry experience, preferably 5 years or more.

For our more senior roles, you will need to have specific technical expertise. For example, your expertise may be embedded microcontrollers, AI, low level code, performance optimisation, UI, graphics, comms protocols or multithreaded code. Plus, you would be expected to have the ability to coach more junior team members and be able to take the lead on delivering projects.

To be part of Bluefruit, you should demonstrate that you are a keen problem solver, you enjoy working to a very high standard, communicate effectively, and want to work as part of a high‑performing team.

Degree level qualification in Computing or Maths would be beneficial but formal academic qualifications aren’t required as your programming skills should be second to none. For our senior positions, experience of embedded systems (working with PIC, ARM or AVR architectures, for example) is a big plus.

About us

At Bluefruit, we don’t just talk about work / life balance – we actively encourage it. From flexible working hours, to letting our people create their own working environment, we work hard to ensure everyone here enjoys coming into work.

We are committed to providing training for everyone in the company to realise their potential. Our company was created by engineers for engineers and, as an EOT company, it’s important to us that all our people have a say in how we develop our business.

Our culture is built around an unerring focus on delivering high‑quality code for intelligent products that users love and clients value. We encourage efficient and open communication, and shared responsibility for design and implementation. And we review each other’s work all the time – everyone at Bluefruit constantly seeks out opportunities to learn and improve.

We’re privileged to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK – and we all want time to enjoy it, so we focus on flexi‑time, not overtime. We also offer a range of benefits, including :

Send us your CV today and we’ll invite you to our Cyber Dojo to complete an online coding exercise.

Please note : Submissions will be checked for AI writing. While we’re not opposed to the use of LLMs as creative tools, a heavy reliance on them will not be viewed favorably.

Permanent and Fixed‑Term Contracts are available. These roles are based at our Redruth, Cornwall office, subject to a three‑month probationary period.

There are currently no remote or hybrid working opportunities available and we are only considering in‑office positions. Bluefruit places value on working in person with colleagues and providing opportunities to absorb our culture.

Should you be invited for interview please ensure that you would be able to attend our Redruth office in person and work in Cornwall from the outset. Applicants invited for interview will be asked to verify your right to live and work permanently in the UK. We currently do not provide travel expenses or relocation costs for this role.

We recruit on a rolling basis and fill our vacancies as soon as we find people who fit our culture and meet our skills requirements. Therefore, we recommend applying as soon as possible.
