We're a fast-paced, well-funded Web 2.0 business looking for a pro-active software developer to join our talented, self-organizing software development team.
About you
- You are hungry to learn: You actively seek change — always looking for opportunities to improve professionally, and to help your team develop. You read software-related publications, welcome criticism of your work and offer your colleagues honest feedback.
- You're willing to try new things: Want to try your hand at requirements gathering or UI design? If the idea of becoming a Generalizing Specialist appeals, this could be the right job for you.
- You have excellent communication skills: You're comfortable communicating verbally, graphically or in written text, and you’re happy explaining technical concepts to non-technical people.
- You’re qualified and/or experienced: You have a Software Engineering degree, an equivalent certificate from a leading organization (e.g.: IEEE-CS, BCS) or have at least 3 years experience.
- You appreciate a sociable, friendly and supportive working environment: We value technical expertise and encourage developers to exercise their initiative and engage with the business as a whole.
