Hertford UK, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Zoocha Full time

The Seed Warehouse, Hertford, UK

Salary: From £25,000


Why we are hiring


We are looking for a Graduate Back End Developer to join our growing Drupal development team. Zoocha has a long history in bringing graduates into the team and helping them develop their skills and advance their careers; a high proportion of our senior development team joined as graduates, so you will be following a well worn path.

Our ideal candidate is a self-starter, enjoys programming and overcoming technical challenges, and would be enthusiastic to immerse themselves in Drupal and its broad ecosystem. We’re looking for someone who’s not just motivated, but ready to roll up their sleeves and have a go at tackling any problem in front of them

Guided by our experienced Drupal developers you will learn best practices and gain hands-on experience in building and maintaining high performing Drupal sites, diving into areas such Commerce, Apache Solr, 3rd party system integrations, multilingual and more.

This role provides an exciting opportunity for a recent graduate eager to kick start their career in web development and become part of our team of talented individuals.

Personality and team fit is as crucial for this role as technical ability - Zoocha is an informal and enjoyable environment to work in where everyone leaves their ego at the door.

With a good sense of humour and a tenacious attitude, combined with our mentorship and training, the sky’s the limit
