Your future starts here

Our company

We are a small but well-formed business. We work from a single office in the Bristol and Bath Science Park, located in the north-east corner of Bristol, near Emersons Green. The working environment is pleasant, with air conditioning for the summer and a woodchip boiler for the winter. The forum is a huge space at the front of the Science Park, with a great cafe. It provides a friendly working environment, as shown by the number of small businesses who operate from the forum. Some of us like to work out there, as it gives a quiet space away from the office. There's a number of sofas and comfortable chairs as well as workbenches. The space is bright and has a buzz of excitement.

The projects we work on are varied, with a small emphasis on scientific instruments. We design new products or add enhancements to existing products for other companies. There is usually a mix of hardware design in electronics and then software design, sometimes low-level embedded code, sometimes PC based applications and a lot of web based applications; even the occasional smartphone based application. The team structure is flat, there's no hierarchy. All of the roles are customer facing, it's important to meet and work with the customer.

Xor Systems’ office is located in the north-east corner of Bristol, at the Bristol and Bath Science Park. The Science Park is an excellent place to work, with facilities such as public areas for individual work as well as a nearby bus stop on the M3 and M3x lines for easy commuting from the city centre. Plenty of car parking space is available, chargers for electric vehicles and the site is well integrated into a network of cycle paths.

Regular events are held in the Forum, from school children competing in engineering challenges or entrepreneurial challenges, to business networking events, business shows and technology showcases. There are many conference rooms available and these are used for technology briefings, business to business events and networking.

Web developer

We are currently looking for a web developer with experience in technical web sites, providing data visualisation of raw data from multiple sensors. This is not a generic web design role, but does involve the same skill set. The job involves fast paced, agile, back-end PHP/Python/MySQL software development, with Javascript front-end. In summary, this is an end-to-end IoT developer role (embedded software + web skills).

Areas of interest would be familiarity with web servers, and databases such as Cassandra, Redis and MySQL; an understanding of engineering from an engineering or science degree; some experience of data visualisation - how to effectively interpret the raw data; some experience of embedded systems, especially when used in IoT. Experience of Agile project management would be an advantage, and familiarity with Git would be essential.
