• An excellent understanding of the development best practices most appropriate to the technical platform in use
• Comfortable with Continuous Integration/Delivery and automated testing.
• Ability to work in an Agile environment with those of different levels and offering different opinions and ideas
• An analytical mindset with a logical approach to solving problems  
• Good verbal, written and communication skills

What’s important to us?

It’s safe to say our passion is tech but we recognise that it’s the people that we hire and bring together who are at the heart of the organisation. Over the years we have acquired and recruited a pretty eclectic bunch with hobbies ranging from gaming to ultra marathon running, snowboarding to chess and hiking and climbing, however, what we do have in common are our values:

• Teamwork
