Thought Quarter Hiring for Entry Level Software Developer Job at Redruth, England Full Time

Are you looking for a step into the tech sector?

As we grow our team, we’re looking to develop the next generation of software developers, testers, and project managers. Could that be you?

About the role
For the first 6-12 months your time will be split between operational support (data entry, testing, content administration), and training.

As part of your training, you will shadow more experienced developers using pair-programming as they work on a variety of client projects, and complete a set of training resources.

As part of your operational support duties, you’ll also work as our tester and website and data administrator. The day-to-day role includes:

• Testing new features across a variety of browsers and devices to ensure they are ready for live release

• Completing data and website administration tasks to help maintain existing projects

• Supporting the Project Lead, Lead Consultant and Managing Director as required on ad-hoc tasks

• Actively participating in agile ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and sprint retrospectives

About You
Team fit is more important to us than exact technical skills, as we firmly believe in training the right people to have a long and successful career with us. For that to work, you will need to have a desire to learn new things. This is an entry-level role – we will train you ‘on the job’ so no specific coding experience is necessary. Here’s what you will need to have:

• A keen interest in a career in website and software development

• A demonstrable aptitude and enthusiasm for the world of software and websites

• Excellent attention to detail

• Strong communication skills

• Ability to work as part of a team

• Ability to take responsibility for the work assigned to you, completing it without needing to be micro-managed.

And if you have any of the below, even better!

• Experience working with one or more programming languages

• Experience with website administration

• Experience of working within an agency environment

• University degree in Computer Science or similar
