Are you looking to develop your skillset? Working in an innovative environment that's always evolving means the learning process never ends. You may have some exposure to the tools and frameworks we currently use in our technology landscape, however we'll encourage you to continue your learning through the broad range of development opportunities that we offer.
• Programming languages: We're heavily Java and JavaScript based but Python is becoming more widely used as it's important in the data engineering sphere
• Front-end development: We favour React but we're more framework agnostic and don't standardise when leveraging our Web SDK
• Platforms: We develop across a variety of platforms including Unix, Windows, Mobile and Mainframe and in many cases our solutions use a mix of these
• Cloud: Continuous Cloud development is key for us moving forward, and we have a big focus on AWS and GCP
• DevOps and CI/CD: Microservices Architecture and API development are very important as we move to greater automation
• Behaviour Driven & Test Driven Development: These techniques are a key focus across our delivery teams
• Standardising on Kubernetes for automating container management
