- **Company:** Alph4
- **Location:** UK (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Starter
- **Salary:** £34,716.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract

## About the Role

You'll need at least one of these (ideally both):

 * Previous programming experience in any language, from any context. Commercial work, a degree or bootcamp, a serious side project, freelance work, or code you wrote because you wanted to. We don't mind what language. We mind that you've built things and debugged them.
 * Previous Agile project work: you've worked in sprints, on a delivery team, with a backlog and a board. That doesn't have to be a commercial job: a bootcamp capstone, a university group project, or an open-source project run
in sprints all count. What we're looking for is that you've delivered alongside other people to a plan, not only on your own.

## Description

* Build and maintain features in our PHP/Laravel codebase and some Ruby on Rails.
 * Write and optimise SQL against PostgreSQL, from everyday queries to the occasional gnarly one
 * Work with containerised services in local development and in our Azure environments
 * Contribute to CI/CD pipelines: you'll break them occasionally, and you'll learn to fix them
 * Pick up tickets in Jira, take part in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retros
 * Review other people's code and have yours reviewed: this is how you'll learn fastest here
