The University of Plymouth has secured external funding for the development of Software Tooling for a globally unique framework called Maritime Cyber Risk Assessment (MaCRA) that will help mitigate the risk of the growing problem of Cyber-attacks to shipping.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a top team to shape the development that will have a major impact on the maritime sector, safeguarding operations and improving safety in the sector.

• Be outcome driven, you will be able to conceive and develop software from the core framework already created, ensuring that this will meet all desired end-user functionality from a stakeholder group that will be established
• Have experience with proof-of-concept software building and developing products in sprints, with experience of working in a small agile function/environment.

We need programmers who can lead the development of an app, app Graphical User Interface (GUI) that meets end-user needs, and database architecture, analysis, and integration with app.
