Java Back End Developer

Role summary:

This person will join a development team working in an Agile (Scrum or Kanban) model.

The team is small and nimble, and as a result, it has made amazing

progress in the industry. The primary focus will be to ensure that our

applications are extensible, maintainable, and efficient, whilst

building cool new features. Sometimes this means we have to go

and re-engineer some parts.

We work in a business with many other applications, so interaction

with our peers is key to ensuring any integrations are effective and

robust. Sometimes, we also have to test the water with new

capabilities. So, there will be opportunities to learn new things by

contributing to spikes/proofs-of-concept to evaluate tools and

approaches to ensure the platform's evolution makes the best use of

new technologies and techniques.

 Decomposing high level requirements into a set of development tasks.

 Contributing to work prioritization

 Suggesting and analysing different approaches for building solutions.

 Continuously evaluating the codebase for opportunities to improve through refactoring.
