We are looking for experienced Software Engineers with knowledge and expertise of development (both UI and serverside), quality assurance as well as automation technologies. You will be working in a full Agile Scrum environment, working closely with other developers and testers, and working with cutting-edge technologies, as we look to further extend our engineering capabilities.

• Converting technical concepts as well as user stories into real functionality by writing, reviewing and submitting code, as well as designing automated tests at every layer (Unit, Integration & End-to-end)
• Participate in the maintenance of a continuous and automated end-to-end environment for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery so that we can identify defects and errors as early as possible
• Working as part of a Scrum team to ensure the correct approach to the full development lifecycle is being planned, committed to and delivered for each sprint
• Participating in all Scrum events (sprint planning, refinement, daily stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives)
• Tracking and reporting progress within each sprint

Skills/Experience

• Front-end tech e.g. JavasScript, React, CSS3, MVC/rest
• Back-end tech e.g. Java, Scala or Groovy
• Writing automated unit and integration tests
• Continuous Integration and/or Continuous Delivery (both as a process and of any supporting technologies)
