About the job
Let’s keep this one simple and talk about what’s in it for you.
You’ll get to work from home for the majority, heading into Oxford probably once a month or so. It’s likely less, but I’m telling you the worse case.
You’ll spend between 10-20% of your week on your own development.
Everybody here gets allocated time to sharpen their skills, prepare for external exams or certifications, or explore new tech on various R&D projects – whatever you fancy really.
And yes, that’s not just a ploy to get you in the door – it’s ingrained in their culture.
You’ll work within a culture of doing things the right way, instead of just writing code and getting it out the door ASAP.
They’re big advocates of writing clean code, they regularly refactoring to keep the code base healthy, testing along the way and they’re doing what they can to automate as many processes as possible.
You’ll help bring some of their legacy applications up to speed too, but the vast majority of stuff is as modern as you’ll find.
At the moment, this looks like: C#, .NET 6/8, Entity Framework, OpenAPI, Kubernetes, Docker, Bicep, MassTransit, and Cosmos.
Everything’s hosted on Azure. Ideally know your way around Azure services, including how to build pipelines in Azure DevOps.
You’d get a pretty decent package too, covering a generous holiday allowance, private medical insurance, flexible hours to fit in with your work/life balance, volunteering days to spend with a charity/cause you’re passionate about, share incentive schemes and plenty of other perks/discounts.
Last, but certainly not least – the interview process is really straight forward, all done via Teams, with no tech tests to look at. An initial chat with their Development Manager, followed by a chat with a couple of Senior Devs, possibly including a pair programming exercise.
