Job description

Senior Software Developers collaborate with Business and Quality Analysts, Designers, Project Managers and more to design software solutions that will create meaningful change for our clients.

By balancing strong opinions with a willingness to find the right answer, Senior Software Developers bring integrity to technology, ensuring all voices are heard.

For a team to thrive, it needs collaboration and room for healthy, respectful debate.

  • You will apply the latest technology thinking from our Technology Radar to solve client problems.
  • You will efficiently utilize DevSecOps tools and practices to build and deploy software, advocating devops culture and shifting security left in development.
  • You will oversee or take part in the entire cycle of software consulting and delivery from ideation to deployment and everything in between.
  • You will act as a mentor for less-experienced peers through both your technical knowledge and leadership skills.
