Graduate Developer in Malvern

Graduate Developer

A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join a well-established technology company who operate within a niche market sector. Based in Worcestershire, the company offers a range of consultancy and software development services aimed at enhancing business performance across targeted areas of the business. The clients range from small businesses through to global organisations across the public and private sector. You will be responsible for working alongside these clients, both onsite and remotely, to produce solutions that are not only functional but also practical to the needs of the clients business.

The successful applicant will hold a 1st Class degree (or minimum 2.1) in Computer Science or a related topic. You will have programming experience with C# and the .Net framework or Java, either from your academic studies or ideally in a commercial setting.
