No prior domain or platform knowledge is needed.

Role Summary

  • Write clean, maintainable code that follows engineering standards
  • Create and maintain unit tests for everything you build
  • Take part in code reviews and act on feedback
  • Use source control and branching practices correctly
  • Investigate and fix defects, with support where needed
  • Produce and update technical documentation

  • .NET: ASP.NET Core, REST/JSON basics, Azure, containers
  • Java: Spring Boot, Maven or Gradle, REST/JSON, Docker, Azure or AWS
  • Both: CI/CD concepts; any frontend exposure (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React; Blazor for .NET)

Behavioural Attributes

  • Learning mindset and curiosity about new platforms and business domains
  • Reads unfamiliar code carefully and asks questions early
  • Takes feedback well and follows work through to completion
  • Clear written and verbal English

How the Team Works

  • Backend focused, with willingness to learn frontend work when projects need it being essential
  • AI-assisted engineering using approved tools, with full ownership of the output
  • Varied engagements across legacy conversion, API builds and integration fixes
  • Quality built in: testing, code review, source control discipline, secure coding and documentation

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.
