Job description
First or second role on a TypeScript team. Hybrid, two days in the office.
We are looking for a Junior Software Developer in Leeds. You do not need to arrive knowing everything; you do need to care about the standard of what you hand over, and be willing to ask when something is not clear.
About the role
- Build and ship features across the stack, from the data model to what the user actually sees.
- Review colleagues’ pull requests and have yours reviewed — we work in small, readable changes.
- Write the tests that let us deploy on a Friday without anybody losing sleep.
- Take part in planning and estimation, and push back when scope and time do not agree.
- Share on-call in a light rotation, with time back for anything out of hours.
What we are looking for
- Solid commercial experience and the judgement to know when the simple solution is the right one.
- The judgement to work unsupervised, and the sense to ask when something is not clear.
- A careful approach to safety and to your own standard of work.
- Willingness to learn the parts of this you have not done before.
- Reliability — the team notices when somebody turns up when they said they would.
What we offer
- 28 days holiday including bank holidays, rising with service.
- Company pension, and life cover after your first year.
- A rota published well in advance, so you can plan around it.
- Staff discount, a cycle-to-work scheme and an employee assistance line.
- Genuine progression — most of our supervisors started in this role.
