Summary
Help design and build the next generation of our VNC Cloud connectivity platform
RealVNC is a highly successful software company based in Cambridge (UK) City Centre. As the original developers of VNC® remote-access technology our software is used by hundreds of millions of users worldwide from the non-technical home user to IT professionals from global companies, such as Intel, IBM, NASA, Shell, DreamWorks and Philips.
The role
As a member of the Platforms team you will be working on the Java (J2SE) based services that power the VNC Cloud platform, the cloud-based remote access technology that enables screen sharing without port-forwarding.

In the platforms team we use Linux, the Spring framework and the Cassandra NoSQL database as part of our stack. You’ll be joining a team with a security focused mindset to help design and architect the next phase of these large-scale distributed systems.
We like to think we have a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We value the input of everyone working on our projects, and talented individuals can make a big difference. In exchange, we expect you to be highly motivated, willing to explore novel solutions, and able to make a significant contribution to our products.
