If you're interested in progressing your career in developing innovative tools and being part of a hands-on, collaborative, project-based approach to solving data challenges, then we'd love to hear from you.

The "Special Projects" team is Quick Release's in-house software development centre-of-excellence, developing products directly for clients, tools to support the work of our Analysts and Consultants, and internal software tools to help run the business.

The team is made up of primarily full-stack developers who have moved into the team after excelling in Analyst or Consultant roles within Quick Release. We are now seeking an experienced Senior Software Developer to bolster our capacity to deliver high quality software solutions, accelerate our processes and help us grow our technical capabilities.

• Collaborating closely with the wider QR team to help problem solve, define, deliver, and code review features
• Attending and leading sessions within the Special Projects daily stand-ups and monthly workshops
• Contributing to and learning from our knowledgebase
• Mentoring less experienced members of the team to facilitate their professional growth
  
  

The primary technologies we use include Python, Django, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Terraform, AWS, Docker, Postgres, Redis, GitHub Actions and Git.

Additionally, we support some legacy and smaller tools using VBA, C# and R

• Experience using the Python programming language
• A demonstrable history of designing and developing impactful applications
• Understanding and ideas around the latest web development tools and techniques
• Professional experience with the latest tools and techniques for web development
• You feel ownership over everything you help to build - you write maintainable code, test and document thoroughly, care about the people who use the things you create and take pride in your work

• You have experience with developing full-stack Django applications
• You have experience with AWS and Terraform

AI and your application

We're aware that many candidates these days are using AI to help them with their job applications. Whilst we understand the use of this kind of technology to assist with applications, it's worth noting that answers copied directly from AI tend to come across very generic and detract from the quality of applications (and are easy to spot). To give yourself the best chance of letting yourself shine in your application, we strongly recommend personalising your answers based on your own skills and experience. The use of AI during assessments throughout the recruitment process will result in your application being rejected.
