Our team cares about hiring great people who want to make meaningful contributions. It’s important to us that we support and help each other, pushing colleagues to work hard and improve. We value everyone’s unique input and skills: developers, testers, product owners, project managers and designers all collaborate as equals on every project. That collaboration and teamwork is what helps us deliver innovative, exciting products for our clients.

To ensure everyone gets the help and encouragement they need, we’ve developed a structured progression framework to support development plans and career growth for each person within Engineering. You will get close support from your line manager with your day-to-day work, and you’ll have the support and resources you need to evaluate your career growth and professional development.

• Understanding users and identifying who they are and what their needs are
• Using agreed standards and specifications to design, create, test and document new or amended software
• Demonstrating understanding of common software engineering concepts
