System Specification and Verification Engineer (P3)
Team Description
Our System Specification team is responsible for developing scalable verification frameworks and formal methods for a complex, mission-critical system. The team designs specification languages, writes rigorous system specifications, and integrates them with automated verification and testing solutions. This role reports to the Lead System Engineer and collaborates closely with product and engineering teams to ensure system correctness and reliability.
Your Impact
- Contribute to the development of verification frameworks and domain-specific languages (DSLs), integrating formal specifications with automated testing.
- Work collaboratively with engineering and product teams to translate design decisions into executable criteria.
- Assist in writing and refining system specifications to ensure correctness and precision in critical system behaviours.
- Apply formal methods and automated verification techniques to software components with guidance from senior engineers.
- Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions to foster best practices in correctness-driven engineering.
- Clearly and effectively communicate technical concepts within the team and to stakeholders.
Your Qualifications
- Experience working as an individual contributor in software development, verification, or systems engineering.
- Proficiency in JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin, Scala) with familiarity in both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.
- Experience in system design for components of complex software projects.
- Some experience with automated testing techniques such as Property-Based Testing or Behaviour-Driven Development.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate technical challenges and solutions effectively.
Preferred Skills
- Exposure to domain modeling and language design (e.g., DSLs, specification languages).
- Interest in formal specification methods such as VDM, B, or Z.
- Knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts (e.g., set theory, first-order predicate logic, lambda calculus).
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) or build tools (Gradle, Maven).
- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies, balancing iteration speed with software rigor.
This role offers a rare chance to tackle complex software challenges while expanding your expertise in software correctness, formal methods, and large-scale verification. If you’re a software engineer who enjoys thinking deeply about system behaviour, values precision, and is eager to learn new approaches to building reliable software, we’d love to hear from you—whether or not you’ve worked with formal methods before.
