Applications & Systems Developer
£35,000 per annum | Permanent | Hybrid – North Wales
Instinct is supporting an organisation within the higher education sector with the recruitment of an Applications & Systems Developer to join its Information Services team.
This is a varied technical role combining application development, database work, systems support and wider IT projects. It would suit someone who enjoys having a broad remit rather than working exclusively in either software development or traditional IT support.
You'll work across a range of business-critical systems and applications, helping resolve technical issues, develop and implement improvements, support integrations and contribute to new technology projects.
Initially, there will be an element of reactive systems support and problem-solving. As you become established within the team, the aim is for you to take an increasingly proactive role in identifying improvements and helping develop the organisation's wider systems environment.
