About The Company

Join a leading financial services company, renowned for delivering innovative, market-leading products.

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.

• 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.

Essential Skills & Experience

• A first-class degree in Computer Science (or predicted grade).
• 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 £25,000 (increases after probation period).
• Discretionary company-based bonus scheme.
• 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.
