The person 

We've put together a strong team of professionals here and we're looking for more of the same. We're after someone who's as passionate about meeting customer needs as they are about the tech.

Have great experience with Agile Development, SCRUM and/or Extreme Programming methodologies

Be able to interpret and document user needs and translate them into tech specs and/or code

Have the kind of numerical reasoning and logical approach to solve the toughest problems

Have brilliant broad operational knowledge of modern IT (Cloud, Social, Mobility, IoT, Big Data, etc.)

Be a truly innovative and creative thinker with experience using a TDD approach

The offering 

This is your chance to build a great career, right here in Reading. All the development you can handle and challenges galore. That means global hackathons, a Technical Fellowship programme and you'll get five training days plus five volunteer days per year so you can learn and give something back in the local community. And all this with a company that's as local as the annual festival! At the office, we have a running club, yoga and of course, loads of fantastic tech... which reminds us: create something that we go on to patent and you'll get an Inventors' bonus.
