Job description

This role features a reduced working week of 30-plus hours, with additional flexibility on how those hours are divided during the week. There is also scope for some hybrid-working, but you will need to live within easy commuting distance so you can attend their Cambridge office when needed. The role might suit an experienced C# developer seeking a more accommodating work pattern.

You would be joining a highly skilled team of expert developers in creating B-to-B software that serves an essential role in keeping the country running. The code you will produce will be in use for years to come, so they are seeking candidates with an appreciation of good software engineering practices and the importance of testing, and willing to make a long-term commitment.

You will need:

• A 1st or 2.1 in Computer Science or other relevant STEM discipline from a well-regarded university.
• Substantial experience of software design and development to a high standard.
• A meticulous and quality-focussed mindset - using software engineering best practice to produce robust and maintainable code. If you enjoy hacking code together for a quick result, this is probably not the right role for you.
• C#.NET, and most of the following: Windows Forms, WCF, SQL Server, Entity Framework, and VB.NET
• You must be able to clearly explain complex issues and articulate your thought processes in solving them. The role will involve liaising with colleagues and clients so strong communications skills are essential.
• A collaborative outlook, being happy to work in an Agile environment based on eXtreme Programming rather than SCRUM.
• Full, existing, and unrestricted UK work permission.

If you want to work with a tight-knit and talented team writing useful quality software with longevity, then this role may the one. The role features a competitive salary and benefits package. Part time roles like this are hard to come by, so this is a rare opportunity.
