Salary: £20,000 (graduate level) – £30,000 (experienced) per annum
Full time, permanent contract.
We are looking for creative and thoughtful Software Developers to join our business as we gear up for substantial growth. With a prestigious and loyal client base already benefiting from our diverse and unique portfolio of data-related services, including some cool software (SaaS) products, this is an opportunity that will provide the successful candidate real responsibility and the platform to develop both your skills and your career.
Headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, where we are finalising plans for a new office development in the city centre, and with a London base close to the Angel/Silicon Roundabout, Gavurin is a data analytics business with an impressive customer base in the UK & USA.
We are recruiting for developers across our full stack and will consider applications from candidates at various levels of experience, to cover a range of roles across the full lifecycle of our software and services. You will work within a cross-functional team to learn your way into a new role, and help shape the future of products at Gavurin.
Depending on your interests, skills and experience, some degree of specialisation is expected, but this role may involve:
- Working at all stages of the development lifecycle, from initial planning and requirements discussions, development, testing, deployment, and operational support.
- Working across the full technical stack, from including design activities, web development, backend applications, database engineering, build and test automation and working with virtual/cloud infrastructure.
- Communicating ideas, designs, feedback, outcomes and recommendations to both technical and business audiences.
- Maintaining awareness of the wider technical landscape to enable sharing and advocating of relevant opportunities to advance the business.
What we’re looking for:
- You will have a passion for finding solutions to technical and business problems, taking initiative to consult colleagues, seek out additional information and/or conduct research as required.
- Strong communication skills, including a high standard of spoken and written English, and the ability to explain complex subject matter to a range of audiences are vital.
- Committing to continuous learning of new tools and techniques will be an essential part of the role, but knowledge of at least some of the following technologies will be required as a starting point:
- Web & Object-Oriented programming (e.g. C#/ASP.NET), SQL, R, test automation tools (e.g. Selenium, NUnit, JMeter, ZAP), HTML/JavaScript/CSS, Typescript, Spatial data, Networking Protocols (e.g. HTTP, TCP, FTP, TLS)
- We recognise that not everyone can do everything, and typically people will specialise, but you are expected to step outside your comfort zone when required.
- Being able to understand and adhere to (and at times challenge) designs, standards and business processes is critical to a role of this breadth.
Please email your CV and a covering letter to lesley.thorburn@gavurin.com in the first instance. In your covering letter, please tell us about what motivates and inspires you in your work (and life!). Please also tell us about some recent projects that you have successfully worked on either alone or as part of a team.
We have some great relationships with some very special recruitment agencies, however we are not looking to utilise the services of an agency for this role.
Our closing date for applications is Monday, 19th February 2018. We will aim to carry out interviews during the week beginning 26th February 2018. Good luck!
