Graduate IT Developer - Fully Remote

Please Note: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role, or take candidates on Student Visa's.

About the Company:

Join a leading financial services company, renowned for delivering innovative, market-leading products. With a commitment to continuous investment and employee development, we are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Graduate IT Developer (fully remote) to embark on an exciting career journey in software development.

The Opportunity:

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for software development and a thirst for continuous improvement? We want to hear from you! This is a fantastic opportunity for a Junior/Graduate IT Software Developer to join a dynamic and supportive team, with the flexibility to work from anywhere in the UK.

In this role, you'll be part of an Agile team working on business-critical solutions using technologies like C#, PHP, jQuery, CSS, MVC, and SQL Server. Don't worry if you don't have all these skills yet-if you come from a similar object-oriented development background (Java, C#, ASP.NET, C++, etc.), we'll support you in cross-training to develop your expertise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work on innovative and impactful software solutions in an Agile environment.
• Collaborate closely with the team to analyze problems and implement effective solutions.
• Manage projects from start to finish, ensuring timely delivery.
• Continuously improve your development skills and contribute to the growth of the company's technical capabilities.

Skills & Experience:

Essential:

• A 1st class degree in Computer Science (or a related field).
• A passion for IT and a strong interest in learning Object-Oriented programming languages (C#, Java, PHP, ASP.NET, C++, CSS, MVC, etc.).
• Solid understanding of SQL Server and MySQL (writing queries).
• Familiarity with MS Azure or similar cloud platforms.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with team members and stakeholders.
• A problem-solver who enjoys analysing issues, estimating impact, and finding practical solutions.

What We Offer:

• Competitive starting salary of GBP25,000.
• Work fully remote.
• Up to 20% of your time dedicated to studying, training, and enhancing your skills.
• Access to tech meetups, a health plan, and a bonus scheme.
• The option to take industry exams paid for by the company.
