This is an extraordinary opportunity best suited to talented, high calibre candidates. You will work closely with an exceptional team in an Agile/Scrum environment where collaborative development and coding practices are emphasised. You will have the chance to develop code in a fast paced environment and have the satisfaction of seeing your work being rapidly used by customers. As a senior developer you will be performing four main functions: architecture, specification writing, development and leadership. Your architecture function will involve understanding our high level future state architecture and designing solutions which accommodate or incrementally move our current systems to this target architecture. Your specification writing will focus on turning requirements and user stories into technical specifications. It will require an in depth knowledge of our code base but also of our future state architecture. These specification documents will define the development work necessary to solve the problems we face. It will be necessary to communicate details of these documents and elaborate on their concepts with members of our remote development teams in India and Romania. This is a hands-on role so your development work will take more than 66% of your time. As an experienced developer, you will be expected to lead by example to produce high quality, maintainable, re-useable code. You will relentlessly promote the benefits of professional development practices such as TDD, unit test writing and appropriate use of source control systems. Your leadership function will involve mentoring of junior developers and coordination of a small development team, ensuring that everyone works effectively and efficiently. Our company structure is flat and prioritisation is driven by the Scrum process, so a collaborative leadership style is essential. You will also have the opportunity to grow with the company. If you excel in the role, you can progress to team lead, scrum master or architect roles.
