  • Knowledge and experience working within an Agile delivery methodology
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to provide constructive feedback, and receive constructive feedback for improvements (particularly an ability to show constructive design and code collaboration e.g. PR reviews)
  • Passionate to work within a team structure and build relationships with multiple teams (Embedded team and Common Platform)
  • Able to travel to London once a month to collaborate with the wider Common Platform team and your embedded team in London

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
