Job summary

Spirax Group in the United Kingdom is seeking a Junior Developer to help build the cloud platform behind our connected industrial products. The system ingests telemetry from tens of thousands of sensors, decodes and enriches data, runs engineering calculations over time series, and serves results to internal engineers and customers.

You will work with senior engineers, have code reviews, and contribute to CI/CD deployments while growing your skills in cloud engineering and modern web development.

Qualifications

• Around two to three years of commercial software development experience.
• A solid grounding in at least one modern language, ideally C# or TypeScript. Others count: if you have written good Java, Go or Python, the move across is very manageable.
• A working understanding of how a web application fits together: HTTP, REST APIs, JSON, and a database of some kind.
• Comfortable with Git and a pull-request workflow.
• Some experience writing automated tests, and a clear sense of why they matter.
• Clear written communication skills and the confidence to say when you are stuck.
• A genuine appetite for cloud engineering. You do not need to have Azure experience; but you do need to want to work towards this.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain backend features in C# / .NET or TypeScript, following the patterns already established in the codebase, with tests written alongside the code.
• Work on the front end: React and TypeScript components and screens, taking a ticket or a design through to a merged pull request.
• Help develop the data pipelines that decode device telemetry and compute engineering values, starting with well-scoped changes and growing into larger pieces of work.
• Write and run automated tests, and treat a failing test as useful information rather than an obstacle.
• Take part in code review, as an author and as a reviewer. Reading other people’s code is the fastest way to learn a platform this size.
• Deploy your own work through our CI/CD pipelines, and build up an understanding of how the environments and infrastructure fit together.
• Investigate and fix defects in the running platform, with a senior engineer alongside you at first and increasingly on your own.
• Contribute to design discussions and stand-ups: ask the question you think might be obvious, because it usually is not.
• Keep the documentation honest as you change things, so the next person does not have to rediscover what you worked out.
