thermal energy and fluid technology solutions Group that supports industrial
customers in transitioning to net zero. The Group designs technologies that
improve the efficiency and safety of critical industrial processes behind
everyday consumables, while delivering new decarbonisation solutions that
electrify boilers and other process heating applications.

Spirax Group consists of three world-leading businesses:
Steam
Thermal Solutions (including Spirax Sarco and Gestra), Electric Thermal
Solutions, and Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, all focused
on resource efficiency and advancements in global health.

company with 37 manufacturing plants, approximately 10,000 colleagues in 66
countries, and 110,000 customers worldwide.

About the role

We are looking for
a Junior Developer to join the team building the cloud platform behind
our connected industrial products, a production industrial-IoT system that
ingests telemetry from tens of thousands of sensors in customer plants, decodes
and enriches it, runs engineering calculations over the resulting time series,
and serves the results to internal engineering teams and to customers.

This is a role for
someone with roughly two to three years of commercial development experience
who wants to go deeper. You will be writing production code within your first
few weeks, but you will not be doing it alone: you will pair with senior
engineers, your work will go through review, and you will be given a route into
the codebase rather than a sink-or-swim start.

We care more
about how you think than about how many technologies you have already used. The platform runs on a broad stack, set out below, and we do not expect you to
arrive knowing all of it. If you are solid in one or two of those areas and
genuinely keen to learn the rest, we would like to hear from you.

What you will be doing

Build and maintain backend features in C# /
.NET or Type Script, following the patterns already established in the
codebase, with tests written alongside the code.

Work on the front end:
React and Type Script
components and screens, taking a ticket or a design through to a merged
pull request.

Help develop the data pipelines that decode
device telemetry and compute engineering values, starting with well-scoped
changes and growing into larger pieces of work.

Write and run automated tests, and treat a
failing test as useful information rather than an obstacle.

Take part in code review, as an author and
as a reviewer. Reading other people’s code is the fastest way to learn a
platform this size.

Deploy your own work through our CI/CD
pipelines, and build up an understanding of how the environments and
infrastructure fit together.

Investigate and fix defects in the running
platform, with a senior engineer alongside you at first and increasingly
on your own.

Contribute in design discussions and stand-ups:
ask the question you think might be obvious, because it usually is not.

Keep the documentation honest as you change
things, so the next person does not have to rediscover what you worked
out.

What we are looking for Around two to three
years of commercial software development experience, or a comparable
track record through an apprenticeship, a placement year, a bootcamp
followed by real delivery, or substantial open-source work.

A solid grounding in at
least one modern language, ideally C# or Type Script. Others count: if
you have written good Java, Go or Python, the move across is very
manageable.

A working understanding of
how a web application fits together: HTTP, REST APIs, JSON, and a
database…
