We're looking for a mid-level Software Engineer with experience in front end technologies, particularly AngularJS, to join a software team in Reading. You'll join a talented team with a start-up feel, encountering a range of challenges and technologies - the perfect role for a problem-solver!
The ideal Software Engineer will have a passion for writing performant and robust JavaScript, with an interest in picking up TypeScript within the role. The platform's core stack is in Angular, with systems migrating from ExtJs; with a largely Python backend.
This is a great opportunity for a Front End Engineer to work within microservice architecture for mission-critical SaaS, impacting a strong technical client base. The role leans heavily to the front end, but would be a great fit for a Developer seeking to dip into functional Python programming.
The Software Engineer will join a team of 14 Developers hosted across two Scrum teams, with a host of complex and exciting projects lined up over the coming years. The team enjoys regular innovation sprints and hackathons - an ideal environment for a Software Engineer seeking to work with the latest tech.
The Software Engineer will need to bring:
Experience in JavaScript with at least one modern framework - Angular preferred
Good experience within a Linux / Unix environment
Knowledge of best coding practices - unit testing, source control, CI, agile/Scrum
Experience with relational and non-relational databases
A collaborative approach to problem solving and personal initiative
Things you can pick up in the role:
Exposure to Python
Exposure to machine learning technologies
Flexible and home working is available, expecting 2-3 days in the Reading office per week
