So what am I responsible for?
We are doing a lot of exciting work in our engineering space, especially within the insurance domain. Primarily you would will be responsible for supporting the designing, building and maintaining of relevant applications in C#.NET and SQL Server. You will be supporting those developments through route to live environments and relevant infrastructure support. You would will work in an environment that is currently using mainly waterfall lifecycle but evolving to Agile DevOps environment. At the entry level training and support will be given to develop your knowledge and skills.
You would have exposure to work within a cross-functional team and collaborate with other developers, solution architects, project staff and business customers.

We are open to considering people from a variety of backgrounds but as a minimum would need to see experience developing using C#.NET and SQL Server, plus an understanding of the software development lifecycle. Most importantly we want to see a passion for development and customer centric approach.
The backgrounds we have found work well in the past have often been the following: 1) one to three years’ commercial experience in a related role, 2) a relevant degree with no commercial experience or c) those recently graduating from another relevant training course looking to move industry into software development.
