Senior Software Engineer - 2D

What you tell your friends you do

“I build systems that turn messy technical documents into smart, usable data”

What you will really be doing

• Take full ownership of [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk]’s 2D document processing pipeline – from understanding current solution to shaping what comes next
• Dive into the existing Python-based processing pipeline to understand how source documents are ingested, processed, and enriched with visual hotspots
• Design, implement, and maintain a scalable and durable next-gen [Employer hidden] document processing pipeline in C#/.NET
• Take over and further develop (or rewrite) the React-based application used for detection of tags on P&ID documents
• Extend the pipeline over time with OCR and AI-driven capabilities to make documents even smarter
• Work independently while collaborating closely with colleagues on the 2D team and Build teams, taking ownership of decisions where no one else has the full picture

How you will be doing this

• Acting as the go-to person for building and improving how we extract and structure data from complex technical drawings, within a team where autonomy and initiative are essential
• Making architectural decisions independently – there’s no blueprint and no one handing you all the answers
• Balancing hands-on backend development with understanding data flows, processing logic, and edge cases
• Gradually replacing manual and semi-manual steps with robust, automated solutions
• Collaborating across locations as part of an agile, high impact 2D team.

Why you are doing this

At its core, this role exists to shape the future of how complex engineering information becomes usable, searchable, and intelligent

Who we think you are

• Experienced with backend development using C# and ASP.NET
• Comfortable designing systems and making architectural choices in complex, under-documented domains
• Some experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure), Kubernetes (including Kubernetes Jobs), and modern CI/CD practices
• Familiar with both relational and non-relational databases, such as MongoDB
• Proactive and independent, with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility
• Bonus if you have experience with React, Python, Databricks, or building data processing pipelines, or a strong motivation to learn

Team

• We are a small team of senior software engineers, supported by a Product Manager, UX designer, QA engineer, and Scrum Master - ensuring we build the right things at the right time
• We have end-to-end responsibility for processing, storing, and visualizing our documents
• The team is based in Fornebu and Aberdeen, collaborating closely across locations while maintaining a high level of autonomy
