Solutions Developer

£39,609 - £48,677

Canterbury

We're taking a step towards digital innovation - and you can lead the way.

 With 17,000 students at campuses across Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University is a successful and inspiring institution that's always striving for progress. Our IT Department is responsible for supporting the University with high quality IT services and right now, it's adopting exciting new technology to transform our digital systems. It all adds up to a fantastic environment for skilled Developers: a place where you can bring your skills to the fore, drive innovation and grow your knowledge and experience.

A self-motivated flexible Solutions Developer, you'll join a mid-size professional team that have initiatives underway to transform our digital environments using Azure Services and Azure DevOps tools to drive automation. You'll join us on the journey as we move from a traditional on-premise operation to a ‘serverless infrastructure as code' environment.

This is a chance to develop and deliver vital solutions, working with business owners and our technical teams. Together, you'll take on brand new projects or design enhancements for current systems. You'll be responsible from conception right through to delivery and transition to the operational teams.  You will have excellent communication skill in being able to translate detailed technical details to varying technical levels.  While most solutions would involve a base of .Net, C# and TSQL, as a polyglot developer you would be comfortable in switching language to bring the best to your solution and have the opportunity to bring different and new technologies onboard.

Confident and positive with a degree or professional qualification, you'll be capable of coding solutions to a very high standard and within the set business deadlines. You would take advantage of rapid prototyping to ensure that your solutions offer maximum benefit and encourage opportunities for a review, improve and innovate cycle.  We'll be looking for experience in working with other technical teams to deliver solutions that fit within the security framework and university technical strategy.  Being a skilled and adaptable developer, your technical talents would extend to utilising SOA Architecture, XML/JSON messaging, Webservices and message brokering methodologies.

Being an open and friendly person, you would be able to convey technical solutions to all levels across the business and gain co-operation and trust of users and other technical teams to be able to deliver the solution and onwards share knowledge, building up other team's experience and confidence in supporting your solutions.

We work in a flexible working environment that promotes diversity and equal opportunity, and where you can learn, train and keep up to date with the latest developments in technology. Join us and help to deliver exciting projects that enhance the student and staff experience.
