The role
You will be an active member of your Scrum team from day one, working with Agile methodologies and frameworks, and you will commit code in your first week. You will be supported by a dedicated mentor, given a personalised training plan and spend most of your time working collaboratively within your new team.
You will develop the latest versions of our market-leading software using modern languages such as Java, Typescript and Groovy. We use approaches such as pair programming, automated testing and continuous integration all supported by DevOps technologies such as Chef, Jenkins, Vagrant, Kubernetes, Terraform, Packer and Docker. Our culture nurtures continuous improvement and you will be a contributor to our investigations into new tools, frameworks, and processes.
We believe in investing in our developers by providing a high specification laptop and dual monitors, supported by licensed software such as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, GitHub Copilot and access to e-learning courses.
