Developer

Your role as Developer will be to facilitate the delivery of work from the product backlog consisting of new features (customer enhancements and strategic business requirements), bugs, and technical debt prioritised by the Product Owner. This work consists of that which you are directly responsible for as well as units that you are involved in from a mentorship or design (technical/architectural/UI etc.) capacity.

Work must be facilitated through the development lifecycle from coding, code review, testing and release into production. Code should be produced to a high quality including ensuring the whole team gives consideration to performance and security.

We’re looking for someone sympathetic to our existing technologies and processes but also willing to help us to evolve them to match the expected growth of the team and business in an egoless way.
