* Building responsive, interactive web applications using React JS and Node JS
* Working with Python (Django or Flask), SQL, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to handle data-heavy processes
* Creating and editing geospatial data using GIS tools such as Google Earth Pro, including drawing and manipulating polygons
* Operating in a hybrid setup – working from home with regular collaboration days in the Manchester or Huddersfield offices
What We’re Looking For:
* A graduate with at least a 2:1 degree and 2+ years’ experience in a relevant software role
* Strong hands-on experience with Python, SQL, and either Django or Flask
* Solid understanding of React JS and Node JS
* Practical experience with geospatial data and GIS software – especially for visualisation and analysis
* Confident communicator – able to liaise directly with clients and technical stakeholders
* A curious mind with a genuine interest in AI, data, and complex problem-solving
* Comfortable working in a close-knit, collaborative environment with a start-up feel
