Join Us

Joining us would put you working with some of the best in the business; our Software Engineers are behind some of the most innovative and robust software there is. We work in collaborative Agile teams and, as a long term Microsoft Partner, we have access to all the latest tools and technology.

We are always on the lookout for talented people who can help push our solutions and maintain our reputation for innovation and excellence. We especially value team players who take pride in their craft and can be relied on when there’s a deadline looming.

What it's like to work here

It’s fun, it’s hard work, it’s challenging! There are highly skilled people here to work with and learn from, and heaps of opportunities to grow, both personally and technically.

Teamwork is key for us at RDT. Our Agile teams are dynamic and support the evolution of the business as new business is won and new technology is adopted. This means we can give you lots of chances to develop your skills, build relationships and your career.

Feedback is essential to the effective running of any business and at RDT it flows up, down and across the Company. The senior team always want to hear the opinions and ideas of our teams and they actively encourage innovative concepts and suggestions. This is how many of our new product development teams are born.

Working together

All of our teams operate with different arrangements based around deliverables and job demands. The key to success in this space for RDT is that flexibility remains at the heart of how we manage ‘office time’. It is integral to our business model that people create and innovate together, that they pair on problems in the same space, often on the same screen!

Our offices are designed to support our Agile work practices, with team work areas and a variety of meeting and breakout spaces.

Learning and growth

Working with cutting-edge technology and creating disruptive solutions means it’s important for us to keep everyone at the top of their game. A lot of our people budget is spent on training and professional development.

It is critical to our business that our people are at the forefront of new developments in the business, in the market and on the technology front. We allocate time in every sprint for learning as a base line and take a blended learning approach; by understanding our people and the need, we can develop the right type of learning for each person, examples of this are Conference attendance, webinars, lunch & learn sessions, relevant learning platform licenses and where appropriate we support external qualification including many Microsoft qualifications every year.

Everyone has the opportunity to discuss their learning and career plans with their manager in our unique Individual Career Planning (ICP) sessions and our HR team are closely connected to delivering the development needed to reach these aspirations.

At RDT we work with a very generous learning budget. We plan each person’s development carefully. A personalised approach, which combines peer learning, online training access as well as the more traditional training course elements to facilitate growth.

Our culture

We’re a medium-sized business punching above our weight in the sector. This influences how we feel about ourselves and the confidence that our leaders have in our people. The passion for our products is palpable and everyone is bought in to making them the best they can be.

With our high expectations and focus on delivery, it’s natural for strong emotions to come into play at times, but our dedication to the product and customer always comes first.

We quickly resolve any disagreements and maintain a positive, personal connection. We hold regular team retrospectives that provide open and safe forums for views to be exchanged, while other team feedback mechanisms create platforms for meaningful and constructive discussions.

We have a relaxed approach to many things, such as dress code, hierarchy and we have a great office vibe. The social life at RDT is vibrant and varied, just like our teams! From lunchtime walks to curling (!), an annual summer social for families, a posh Christmas do, to gig nights and theatre trips, we like people who like the people they work with, and we hope our active programme caters for everyone. But if socialising with work colleagues isn’t your thing – that’s ok too!

One of the positives of working at RDT is that everyone is really approachable. You can go up to people and ask them about anything. The company has a close-knit family feel to it. You can put names to faces, it’s a nice culture in a good location.

Rewards and Perks

At RDT we believe that you get what you give, and we’re constantly looking at how we can improve the benefits we provide our staff. This means that if you’re coming from a large corporation, you won’t miss out on the perks you are used to.

A generous market salary strategy reflects the calibre of the people we employ, and we of course respect the need for time out and our approach to holiday and pay when absent reflects this.

If you fancy a start-up feel, you will love the free fizzies and great barista-style coffee. If it’s games you like – there is a pool table, table football, a pinball machine and an arcade machine to play on.

The perks

A great pension with a significant contribution from RDT.
Private medical cover that you can extend for your family.
Life assurance cover if the very worst happens.
Our wide range of discounts cover all interests including family days out, Cinema tickets, shopping vouchers, offers from high street restaurants and holiday companies.
We also provide schemes that support health and wellbeing, such as discounted gym membership, video GP access, and supported counselling and advice.
An Electric Vehicle leasing programme means that we can support our people’s desire to make an environmental difference AND get a fancy new car!
