Hays have partnered with Companies House as they embark on an ambitious period of expansion within their IT and digital departments.
Companies House are undergoing a transformation of their IT and digital systems, utilising the latest technologies to help share the future of their services. This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of technology, taking an active involvement in shaping the future direction of the organisation.
Companies House is the Government agency responsible for over 3.5 million companies registered in the UK. They are at the forefront of providing online Government services, currently handling 15 million requests per day for company information.
As a result of this digital transformation and expansion, we are recruiting for seven Senior Software Developers/Senior Java/Web Developers to join their growing software development department.
We are looking for multiple senior developers with proven commercial software engineering experience who have the ability coach/mentor other developers. Whilst you will work mainly with Java, you will have the opportunity to work across a varied technical stack that includes: Java, Go, Spring, Spring Boot, MongoDB, AWS, RESTful APIs, Elastic Search, Thymeleaf, Apache Kafka, Ansible and Terraform.
You should be eager to help Companies House transform their current systems into a Microservice architecture, hosted in the cloud. Working closely with other senior developers and technical leads, you will take an active involvement in influencing the technical direction of software development in Companies House.
It is essential that you have proven commercial software development experience. You should ideally have commercial Java Development experience, although we are also able to consider candidates with a background in another Object Oriented programming language (C++, C#) providing that you can demonstrate the ability to cross-transfer your skills into Java development.
Companies House are utilising the latest TDD techniques so any experience of working in a TDD environment and/or experience of working with automated test frameworks would be an advantage but it is not essential. These positions are based within teams of highly skilled and dynamic developers that work in an Agile Scrum methodology.
