Developer

Do you see software development as a craft? As a trade that will not only offer you many challenges, but also the opportunity to learn more about something that you are passionate about?

Are you looking for an environment where code quality really matters? Where doing it right first time is considered far more desirable than getting it out the door? Where you will be surrounded by peers just as enthusiastic as you about their work? Where the complexities and unpredictable nature of software development are truly appreciated throughout the organisation?

Yes?

Then 7digital think we might have something to offer you.

We're a relatively small team of enthusiastic developers who enjoy what we do. XP practices such as Test Driven Development and Pair Programming are well embedded here; we see the value in Continuous Integration and are striving to move more towards Continuous Deployment. Automated Acceptance Testing is something that is growing more common too and, with the help of our Development Manager, we’re spreading this knowledge and understanding to the rest of the business. We’ve even showed off our processes at events like XPDay 2010 where we got some great feedback.

We work hard to produce quality code and want to deliver value to our business; if that’s your thing too, then you might just be who we’re looking for.

Whilst the role would predominantly involve you working with C#, we use other languages where appropriate (including Ruby), so it’s difficult to a list a specific set of skills that we’re looking for. We are certainly looking for people who have a strong desire to learn; those that are willing to pick up a new language and those that have an excellent appreciation of OO and a static language. If you’re interested in things like Kanban and Lean, there’s definitely an opportunity for you to have your say in how your team is working too.

If you are interested, drop us an email with your CV and a covering letter to careers.inbox+development@7digital.com, ensuring that the subject field contains the following text: "7digital: I am applying for DEVELOPER". If the subject does not contain the exact text above, your application risks being deleted. Salary is negotiable dependent on experience.

Please, no agencies though, you're only wasting your own time and ours - we have no budget to use you for this role.
