About you

As a developer joining a team in a remote position, you will need to be proactive in your own onboarding. You’ll understand that there are no silly questions and that it’s better to confirm your assumptions before investing time in the wrong solution. You will value the skills and experience of the team around you and do your best to use them to your advantage in an efficient and conscientious manner. You will seek feedback from those around you and make time to reflect on your successes and failures.

Understanding that your job is to support our customers and colleagues, you will be driven to find pragmatic solutions to the business problems presented to you, utilising our technology stack to its full advantage. You will endeavour to fully comprehend the tasks you are undertaking, building relationships across the business to foster a deep understanding of the impact of your work.

Your curiosity and desire to improve will drive you to learn about the business as a means to increase the efficacy of your contributions. You’ll see that your journey to becoming a senior developer involves more than just writing code, and you’ll relish the opportunities to make an impact wherever you can.

Essential requirements

• At least two years’ commercial software development experience.
• Skills in coding a server-side programming language, and a desire to learn Python.
• Skills in coding HTML and CSS (we use Sass).

Nice to have

• Experience with a web framework like Django or Laravel.
