Step into this Junior Software Engineer role and build something that matters in Technology.
Oxford's technology sector has grown fast over the last decade, pulled along by the university spin-out scene, a deep pool of engineering talent, and a steady stream of scale-ups that need people who can actually ship code.
This SME has been building its product for years and is now at the stage where it needs a Junior Software Engineer to grow alongside the team, not just fill a seat.
You'd be joining a company with defined processes but enough flexibility to let you find your own way of working.
Here's what you'll be doing: Writing, testing and maintaining code across the product under the guidance of senior engineers Fixing bugs and working through tickets, learning the codebase as you go Taking part in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback Helping build new features from initial spec through to release Joining daily stand-ups and sprint planning so you understand how the team prioritises work Documenting your work clearly enough that someone else could pick it up Here are the skills you'll need: A relevant degree, bootcamp, or demonstrable self-taught experience in software development Working knowledge of at least one modern programming language An understanding of version control, ideally Git Curiosity.
You should want to know why something works, not just that it does Comfort asking questions.
Nobody expects a Junior Software Engineer to know everything on day one Solid written communication for documentation and ticket updates Key perks and benefits: £25,000 to £33,000 depending on experience Hybrid working, splitting time between home and the Oxford office Private medical insurance and pension contribution Annual leave plus flexible working arrangements Bonus scheme and genuine room to grow into a more senior engineering role Why pursue a career in Technology?
