Job Description

The Role
You will work within the e-marking development team, joining an expanding group of talented and dedicated developers.

You will be involved in the development of the e-marking suite of applications, using a range of technologies, including .NET 2 & 3.5, SQL Server, web services and WCF across web and windows platforms.

You will push the technology to deliver complex functionality for an ever-growing user base, interfacing with customer and 3rd party systems.

You will be involved throughout the software lifecycle, gathering and analysing requirements, designing solutions and implementing and testing the designs.

Why is this a great opportunity?

From day one, you will make a real contribution to the team and be assigned to an active development project. Through project work and training, you will be constantly working towards improving and building on your technical expertise.

We are a fast-paced business that has doubled the size of the development team in the last 12 months to meet the increasing demands of our expanding customer base. This provides great opportunities to work with a variety of technologies for several different customers, with favourable conditions for career progression.

Future Progression

Your career could progress in many directions from this role. Your manager will work with you to identify goals and help you move towards them, maybe advancing to more senior technical positions, a team leader or a project management role.

Qualifications and experience

A 2:1 or first class honours degree in a Software Engineering or Computer Science related subject.

260 UCAS tariff points or equivalent

In addition you will have:

  • A tenacious and imaginative approach to problem solving
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team environment
  • Good planning and organisational ability

Preferred experience will include:

  • experience of software development possibly during a gap year or significant project coursework;
