Sword is a leading provider of business technology solutions within the Energy, Public and Finance Sectors, driving transformational change within our clients. We use proven technology, specialist teams and domain expertise to build solid technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications. We have a passion for using technology to solve business problems, working in partnership with our clients to help in achieving their goals.

Here's what the role looks like:

Our Software Engineering teams design, build, and support software applications for mobile, web and desktop platforms. We've completed hundreds of successful projects over the last 20 years - helping our customers build internal bespoke systems or bringing new commercial software products to life. We're experts in Microsoft .NET and take an engineered approach to creating secure, efficient and adaptable software.

We have big plans for the future and are looking for talented software engineers to join our team. You might already be an expert in C# / .NET, or maybe you're an expert in a different platform but keen to switch. What matters is that you understand the fundamentals of computer science, have an aptitude for technical problem solving and get a kick out of creating great code and user interfaces.

Requirements

We build mobile, web and desktop apps using a Microsoft technology stack. We use .NET in all our projects - it is a great technology that is only getting better since the introduction of the cross-platform, open-source and MIT-licensed .NET Core.

Here are some of the technologies that we would expect you to be familiar with and that you can expect to work with:

.NET (8/9)
C# and JavaScript
Blazor WASM, ASP.NET Core, HTML and CSS
SQL Server via EF Core
3D scenes with Three.js (WebGL), including photographic images, point clouds and 3D models (experience with these is a bonus but not essential)
Agile / Scrum working practices with frequent communication with product team and genuine opportunity to influence the direction of the product
Git / DevOps environment with CI / CD pipelines, automated testing and a focus on reliability through automation
Modern tooling and tech, no spreadsheets in sight!
Computer Science or equivalent educational background
Extensive software engineering experience
Strong experience of .NET and C#

We are a close-knit team who support one another. We take a team approach to projects and encourage all staff to ask for and offer help, regardless of their level of experience. As everyone involved in our projects is technical, we have strong technical leadership throughout the company. We believe in a good work-life balance and set up our projects to succeed from the outset. This means that overtime hardly ever happens (and when it does it truly is optional).

We encourage the social side of work by allocating the last half hour of Fridays for socialising and have regular get togethers outside of work. Once you've settled in, you can tailor your working hours around our core hours of 10am-4pm.

As part of the application process we'll set you a small programming challenge - it shouldn't take long to complete. If you're like us, you'll enjoy the challenge and the chance to show us your skills!

Benefits

At Sword, our core values and culture are based on caring about our people, investing in training and career development, and building inclusive teams where we are all encouraged to contribute to achieve success.

We offer comprehensive benefits designed to support your professional development and enhance your overall quality of life.

In addition to a Competitive Salary, here's what you can expect as part of our benefits package:

Personalised Career Development: We create a development plan customised to your goals and aspirations, with a range of learning and development opportunities within a culture that encourages growth.

Flexible working: Flexible work arrangements to support your work-life balance. We can't promise to always be able to meet every request, however, are keen to discuss your individual preferences to make it work where we can.

A Fantastic Benefits Package: This includes generous annual leave allowance, enhanced family friendly benefits, pension scheme, access to private health, well-being, and insurance schemes.

At Sword we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and are proud to be an equal opportunities employer, ensuring that all applicants receive fair and equal consideration for employment, regardless of whether they meet every requirement. If you don't tick all the boxes but feel you have some of the relevant skills and experience we're looking for, please do consider applying and highlight your transferable skills and experience. We embrace diversity in all its forms, valuing individuals regardless of age, disability, gender identity or reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. Your perspective and potential are important to us.

If we can do anything to help make the hiring process more accessible, please let our talent acquisition team know when you apply so we can support any adjustments.
