- Experience with unit testing, version control, continuous integration and code reviews
- Familiarity with design patterns
- Experience in developing web services and associated REST/SOAP APIs

They really focus on making their employees happy, so allow you to buy holiday, offer flexitime, a season ticket loan, remote working options and a free lunch every Friday, on top of free breakfast every day!
