The role

This role is with a global digital agency already boasting a massive in-house tech team, who primarily build large-scale, complex, C# web applications, including anything from back-end services to their client-end counterparts. You’ll be designing and developing and testing the applications, whilst coordinating with the team across different layers of the infrastructure.

Some of their recent projects have included translating application storyboards, specifications and use cases into functional applications in order to enhance scalability and responsiveness of their internal systems and applications. They are very design focused in their development and are always looking to produce the freshest and cleanest code possible.

Your core responsibilities will include the following:

• Assessing the design of applications for testability
• Analysing the existing code base to identify and correct gaps in programmatic testing
• Design and implement test strategies during development and maintenance phases of projects
• Translate application storyboards, specifications and use cases into functional applications
• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable C# code
• Ensure the best possible performance, quality, and responsiveness of applications
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to these problems
• Help maintain code quality, organization, and automation
• Provide the best practices and guidelines for managing data of different levels of complexity

They’ve recently experiencing a huge wave of expansion and offer their development team a vast amount of technical and creative freedom, encouraging input into all technical decisions and knowledge sharing throughout the team. With a lot of companies being stuck in their ways, this is a great opportunity for any developers who are interested in branching out into new technologies and having the freedom to use the best tools for the job at hand. The company also invest heavily into the constant skill development of everyone in the tech department!
