Skills and experience we\'re looking for

• Experience developing across a wide variety of programming languages with an appetite to learn and implement new languages such as Go
• Well-versed in modern development practices including Agile and continuous deployments, DevOps and either AWS, Azure or Google cloud
• You take pride in your work and delivery quality outputs at every step of a project
• You appreciate the bigger picture, you are confident to contribute your ideas to the team on new technologies, solutions, and delivery approaches
• You enjoy working in a collaborative environment, working through challenges with colleagues whilst having fun along the way

Our purpose - with you today, for a better tomorrow - is a promise we make to our colleagues too. And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you. We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.

• Salary circa £70,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
