About the Role:
They are looking for a full-stack Junior Developer or Graduate Developer to join their team. So though a degree is desirable, it isn't a firm requirement. This means they are looking for someone who is passionate about coding and can demonstrate their ability to solve problems, learn quickly and collaborate well with others in the development and project teams.
They have a culture of learning, team support, and exploring new technologies, frameworks and ways of working. They are actively seeking applications from candidates who enjoy working this way.
Most of the team works under a fully remote or hybrid working arrangement. Remote or hybrid working arrangements will be discussed with you in the interview process, and the company has an office in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.
Most of the projects you will work on will involve programming using React or React Native JavaScript frameworks on the frontend. On the backend, you will use PHP frameworks such as Laravel, or occasionally NodeJS, along with SQL to create RESTful APIs and data management systems. Projects are version-controlled using Git.
They have a culture of performance, learning, team support, exploration of new technologies, frameworks and ways of working. They are actively seeking applications from candidates who enjoy working this way too. Responsible AI use to support development is permitted and encouraged in their team but is discouraged in assessment elements of the interview process.
To be considered, you will need to:
- Understand MVC/Structured programming principles
- Demonstrate experience with an object-oriented backend language
- Demonstrate experience solving complex problems
- Have knowledge of SQL and a basic understanding of database design
- Be able to demonstrate personal or commercial programming examples
You must be able to demonstrate your problem-solving skills, lateral thinking, and ability to reason, ideally with personal, academic, or professional project experience using a programming language to highlight these skills.
The company understands that everyone's skills and specific experience are different, so are primarily interested in you being able to prove that you can learn quickly and demonstrate your reasoning and coding ability. This is valued more than ticking technology boxes.
They value a diverse workforce and believe that people from different backgrounds can bring fresh ideas, thinking and approaches to the way we work. They welcome everyone from everywhere to come and join their team.
If you have demonstrable commercial, academic or personal development project experience, strong reasoning skills, are comfortable that you can quickly learn new technologies and are seeking a challenge, then please apply.
