• A strong interest in the Software Development Lifecycle.

• Experience with one or more programming languages such as C#, Python or similar imperative languages.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a logical and methodical approach.

• Ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively within a team.

• Proactive, accountable, detail-oriented, and eager to learn in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.

• You must have the right to work in the UK, as we cannot provide sponsorship for this role
