About the role:

As a Junior Software Developer, you will work closely with our Software Development Team to support the development, testing and ongoing improvement of software solutions for our customers. This is an opportunity to build your technical capability in a practical environment, working with experienced developers while gaining exposure to real-world software projects, customer requirements and a range of development technologies.

This role won’t be suited to you if you do not enjoy collaborating with other team members, you are uncomfortable receiving feedback, asking questions or learning from more experienced team members, you are not willing to work across different technologies or adapt as project and customer requirements change, and you are looking for a role where you will only work on large or complex development projects from day one.

You will be involved in:

Developing and maintaining features, integrations and bug fixes

Understanding customer requirements and investigating software issues

Writing tests and checking changes meet agreed requirements

Submitting code for review, explaining changes and applying feedback

Using approved AI development tools responsibly and verifying generated changes

Maintaining documentation and supporting releases with guidance from the team

Communicating progress and blockers, and following security and client confidentiality practices

To thrive in this role, you will need to have:

Practical software development experience through employment, internships or substantial projects

Familiarity with TypeScript/React or C#/.NET, and willingness to learn across our stack

Basic knowledge of SQL, relational databases, web applications, APIs and Git

Ability to read existing code, investigate problems and explain changes

Understanding of testing principles and an interest in automated testing

Willingness to learn approved AI development practices and critically check the results

Exposure to Azure or AWS is desirable, but not essential

About you:

You follow instructions, apply guidance and feedback, and take pride in accurate, quality work

You collaborate well while managing your assigned tasks and communicating when you need support

You are curious, learn quickly and are motivated to develop your technical skills

You are comfortable asking questions, seeking clarification and taking direction

You will benefit from:

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, so if our team is happy, we are happy!

You’ll gain hands‑on experience across client projects, learn from experienced developers and build your skills through code review, feedback and development opportunities.
