Software Engineer, Full Stack Developer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Are you a Software Engineer that wants to actually see real-world impact from what you help to create? Our mission is simple! We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. At Made Tech, we're collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage all people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.

As a Software Engineer you will actively contribute to planning of work and the development of features, helping to define the features and approach to delivering them. You will proactively pick up complex features, seeking guidance and support when needed to complete them, and be comfortable architecting and delivering simple features in new contexts.

You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of technologies and will need to be comfortable doing so. Our teams have used Java, Ruby, Python, ES6 with React, as well as C# with .NET Core, and plenty more stacks. We don't limit ourselves as a company to particular technologies and we expect all our engineers to be keen on learning new skills.

High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. We grow a team of language agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object-oriented, functional, declarative, event-based and aspect-oriented. You will need to be comfortable sharing your knowledge and skills with others, and be willing to learn new technologies and skills.

In this role, you will be empowered to:

• Write code with test-driven development
• Deliver within an agile environment
• Work with a variety of programming languages (right tool for the job mentality)
• Work with databases (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo
  
  DB)
• Work with (and learn around) cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP and/or Azure
• Debug in a range of systems
• Work on your own self-development - we value keen learners
• Mentor others
• Champion Clean Architectures (Object Oriented Programming, SOLID Principles, Code Smells, etc.).

We want our teams and individuals to grow. If you don't have the following skills, you will have access to a learning budget, experienced team members and a wider learning and mentoring culture that can help you develop the following:

• Work directly with customers and users
• Working within multidisciplinary teams with product, design, and technology working within the same cycles
• Showcasing and presentation skills
• Agile practices such as Scrum, XP, and/or Kanban
• Familiarity with architectural and design patterns
