Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer to join our expanding agile development team.
We work in a wide range of technologies including.Net, JavaScript and Python, deploying our solutions using Azure DevOps to internal infrastructure.
Everything we do is team-based. We take Agile seriously; your delivery team will be small but will have the people it needs to get things done - developers, testers, product owner and a delivery manager - as well as access to infrastructure specialists, UX experts and business analysts.
Quality is paramount. You and your team will be supported to do excellent work. Everyone reviews code and everyone welcomes feedback.
We offer a great work/life balance. People’s start and end times are built around their own preferences and around a 10am – 2pm team time, where the team is focused solely on building (no meetings!). The role is office-based for a minimum 4 days a week due to the nature of the work, with the option of 1 day a week working from home.
We are committed to providing part-time options and reasonable accommodations and will work with you to meet your needs.
We’re proud that we’ve created this group by recruiting junior people who share a commitment to professional development and watched them grow with us.
