Java UI Developer – Real-time Defence Systems

Farenborough, Surrey - 5 days onsite

£70,000–£85,000 + benefits

UK Passport required - eligible for MOD clearance

Standard 8 is recruiting a Java UI Developer for an engineering team building real-time, high-data systems used in live operational environments.

This is not web apps. It’s performance-heavy software, complex GUIs and systems that have to work first time.

The Job

You’ll join an experienced Java team developing desktop applications for data-intensive, mathematically heavy systems.

Day to day:

  • Building Java applications with React or JavaFX or Swing
  • Working in Linux environments
  • Contributing to real-time processing systems
  • Testing properly, not just hoping for the best

What You Need

  • 5+ years’ Java background software engineering experience
  • Solid GUI development
  • Experience with real-time or high-throughput systems
  • Comfortable working on Linux

You’ll need to be methodical, adaptable and take pride in your work. No hand-holding.

Nice to Have

  • Linux optimisation and deployment experience
  • Networking fundamentals (IP protocols, Ethernet configuration)
  • Low-level Linux or driver interfacing
  • DSP, signal or radar or lidar or image processing knowledge

Non-Negotiables

  • UK national with a valid UK passport for high-level Security Clearance

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
