About you
You’re an early-career software developer with a strong foundation in programming and a genuine interest in web and application development. You enjoy building user-facing software, solving technical problems and understanding how the different parts of an application work together.
You may already have experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript or TypeScript and frameworks such as React, gained through professional experience, study or personal projects. Experience with React Native, APIs, automated testing or other modern development technologies would also be valuable, but we’re equally interested in your ability to learn and apply good software development practices.
You’re comfortable writing and debugging code, working collaboratively with other developers and learning your way around an existing codebase. You’re open to feedback through code reviews, willing to ask questions when something isn’t clear and take ownership of the quality of the software you contribute.
Most importantly, you’re curious, keen to learn and want to develop your skills by building software that has a real impact for customers.
