Job Overview
Job description provided by Opencast.
Opencast is hiring Software Developer Consultants to build user-centred solutions for clients in government and business, with multiple positions available immediately and in the coming months. Software developers at Opencast care about building products right, combining their experience with the firm's values, and work in collaborative teams using test-driven development and pair programming. The role is varied and technical, never confined to one provider or solution, with developers working directly with clients and stakeholders from discovery through to live service. Applicants need experience as a software developer, able to build high-quality, user-centred services using Java or Scala, and to select other languages such as Kotlin, Ruby or JavaScript where they fit. Strong testing practices, well-structured maintainable systems built on object-oriented principles, and experience delivering complex digital services are required. Consultants must be able to maintain and prioritise a team backlog, lead user stories from refinement through to completion, and collaborate through pairing and mobbing. The role involves weekly on-site work and regular travel to client locations across the UK, working from the Newcastle headquarters, hub offices, client sites and home. Applicants must hold active Security Check clearance or be eligible for it, which typically requires UK citizenship and continuous residence in the UK for the past five years. The salary is £57,000 to £61,000 a year, with a 7% employer pension contribution, share options and a discretionary bonus, and applications go to careers@opencastsoftware.com.
