We want our teams and individuals to grow. If you don’t have the following skills, you will have access to a learning budget, experienced team members and a wider learning and mentoring culture that can help you develop the following:

• Work directly with customers and users
• Working within multidisciplinary teams with product, design, and technology working within the same cycles
• Showcasing and presentation skills
• Agile practices such as Scrum, XP, and/or Kanban
• Pair programming
• Familiarity with architectural and design patterns

You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of technologies and will need to be comfortable doing so. Our teams have used Java, Ruby, Python, ES6 with React, as well as C# with .NET Core, and plenty more stacks. We don’t limit ourselves as a company to particular technologies and we expect all our engineers to be keen on learning new skills.

High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. We grow a team of language agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, declarative, event-based and aspect-oriented. You will need to be comfortable sharing your knowledge and skills with others, and be willing to learn new technologies and skills., An increasing number of our customers are specifying a minimum of SC (security check) clearance in order to work on their projects. As a result, we’re looking for all successful candidates for this role to have eligibility. Eligibility for SC requires 5 years’ UK residency and 5 year’ employment history (or back to full-time education). Please note that if at any point during the interview process it is apparent that you may not be eligible for SC, we won’t be able to progress your application and we will contact you to let you know why.
