Brief Role Outline

Our culture and ways of working reflect and embed the practices and methodologies of our company - where pace, intelligence and agility are all both expected and valued.

Ability to work away from home and willingness to travel will be required at times.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Work in an Agile development team in interpreting requirements, designing, developing and unit testing new software and amending or bug fixing existing modules contained within the product set.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to development effort as a hands-on developer within your team.
• Pro-actively seek guidance from colleagues as required to ensure first time correct delivery and continual development of technical skills.
• Ensure code reviews and unit testing are completed, and that these are consistently following departmental guidelines. Where no formal guidelines exist, work with peers to formulate and enforce such guidelines.
• Timely and accurate reporting of assigned work status as required, reporting risks and issues as they arise.
• Triage assigned software defects. Ensure that work on defect resolution does not impact on agreed product deliverables, reporting to Product Owner/Scrum Master where resolution will require renegotiation of deliverable dates for other tasks.
• Keep abreast of technology trends and how they apply to your area. Put forward suggestions for improvement to development processes or tools where applicable.
• Achieve agreed productivity targets in order to ensure tasks are delivered to schedule, reporting as early as possible to Product Owner where deliverables cannot be met.
