We’re building the next UK-headquartered engineering powerhouse.
There is a gulf between the needs of mission-focused organisations and the development and delivery of the critical technology they rely on. The consequences of this are felt acutely by underserved frontline operators, demanding a new breed of engineering enterprise to bridge this divide.
Rowden exists to meet this need. We design and build systems, infrastructure, and applications to deliver mission advantage to those working to protect the security of the UK and its allies. Rowden is setting a new standard in government technology provision: hyper-efficient engineering, better customer relationships, and rapid assimilation of commercial technology.
In this critical role, you will be responsible for assuring secure, software-centric systems that manage and process classified information for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). Your expertise will encompass cloud infrastructure, software development, and far-edge networking and integration, with a specific focus on implementing and championing Secure by Design. You will act as a critical friend to our project teams, providing advice and assurance, and challenging when necessary. You will ensure that all systems are resilient, secure, and comply with the latest MOD security standards, enabling robust and secure delivery of capabilities.
