• Deep understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and testing methodologies (unit, integration, automated testing)
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Scrum Master are a plus.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a strong portfolio of personal work
• Strong proficiency in multiple programming languages: JavaScript, SQL, React, NodeJS, Python, and C#
• Extensive experience with frameworks/libraries like React, Razor, and ExpressJS
• Skilled in both relational (SQL Server, MySQL) and non-relational databases with expertise in design and optimization
• Proficient with version control tools (Git) and collaborative workflows.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines
• Knowledge of containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and AWS ECS.
• Proven leadership and mentoring capabilities
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills

Why Join Arcus?

• Circa £60,000 per annum (depending on experience)
• Up to 4% discretionary bonus based on performance
• 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
• Generous pension scheme with matched contributions (5%-6%)
• Life Assurance
• Salary Sacrifice Electric Vehicle Scheme
