About the team
We’re a small and friendly software development team working across desktop and web technologies, using C#, React and WPF. We build real products used by real customers — and we want to give students the chance to experience what software development is like in a supportive, hands-on environment.
If you’re studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related subject and want to gain practical experience, this placement will give you the opportunity to build your confidence, strengthen your skills, and contribute to genuine software projects.
What You’ll Be Doing

* Work with C# and C++ to develop core backend features and high‑performance application logic
* Build user‑facing features in React and C#
* Take part in all stages of the software development lifecycle

We don’t expect you to be an expert. We’re looking for enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to give things a go.
