Software Engineer

**About Us**

We’re an innovative tech consultancy - a team of problem solvers. Since 1993 we’ve been finding better ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world’s leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day.

We bring together experts from diverse backgrounds and experiences in a collaborative and open culture to deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients, and a stimulating and rewarding environment for our people.

Our clients tell us that our people are the best they’ve worked with - not only because of their professional ability, but also their behaviour and attitude. As part of the BJSS Software Engineering team, you’ll develop all these skills, and hone them deliveringreal engagements for a variety of clients.

**About the Role**

We love to experiment with the latest tools, technologies and techniques to improve how we deliver our solutions. As a Software Engineer focussing on JavaScript we will look to you to possess:
Very good knowledge of Node.js, plus related tools and technologies and open-source libraries and frameworks.
- Experience with data persistence frameworks and databases (relational or No-SQL databases)
- Exposure to cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP).
- Experienced with CI/CD ways of working, and familiar with tools and practices that support a DevOps approach.
- Good working knowledge of version control systems such as Git.
- Solid experience working in an Agile delivery team.
- Strong software design skills.
- Good understanding of the fundamentals of computing (e.g. logic, data structures, algorithms, low-level architecture, systems infrastructure, network stack).
- Our roles suit full-stack and server-side developers - Node.js is essential; React.js is good to have but certainly not essential.

**Your skills in building JavaScript solutions in Node.js, or full-stack with Node.js & React.js, together with varied technical experience, are key to this role, as is a focus on delivering fully tested, high quality code.**

- You're comfortable operating in an Agile environment with a good working knowledge in areas such as CI/CD, build pipelines, testing and architecture

- You love nothing more than grabbing a pen and whiteboarding the next challenge.
